Looks REALLY small

It looks like they just stuffed 3 burners into a 2 burner chassis.

Yah, it looks to be the same dimensions as my two burner LX. But, hard to tell from the photo for sure.

But…”boost power 40% in the “Sear Zone””?

Must have an extra setting in the valve cones for those two burners.

Regarding the size reduction (and price), I see this as a way to increase Genesis sales.

They might not even put out a new 2 burner Spirit.

I thin you are right. I really don't see how they can get a much smaller foot print.

 

[Bruce]

They must have borrowed the valve design from the LX Genesis grills. They have that extra setting that you see on that grill on the two right burners. But, yah, that grill just doesnt look big enough for three burners.

And that 4 burner doesn't look like it's large enough either.

I like how Bruce immediately finds the Confidential Watermark PDF file

So basically…

1) 2 Burner model gets Sear Burner Option
2) 3 Burner Model extinct - Replaced by 4 Burner (Sear) model but within the 3 Burner Spirit (Genesis 1000, Silver B) size

 

[DanHoo]

What do you mean small. It's s huge

 

[Tony Coloma]

We need dimensions. 360 seems similar. Oops. 424 was the promary surface before

 

[Jon Tofte]

My guess is these are still the same size as the earlier Spirit (not Spirit II) 2 and 3 burner models.

 

[LMichaels]

Too many things same model name. Same issue with Genesis. They REALLY need to rethink.

This document had been sitting in my Downloads folder for some time and I just got around to posting it last Wednesday. Glad that Bruce was able to find it!

So, it does look as though the two burner and three burner are the same grill body. They just shoe horned in an extra burner for the three burner version. I wonder if they down graded the btu's on the three burner burners or not.

 

[John-NY]

Interesting that some of these have the Snap Jet ignition that I assume was ported from the Genesis II LX models (electronic) and not the style from the 3rd Gen Summits (analogue).

 

[Cody Bratton]

I would be interested to see how those valves work. Since as I see it, to get to the sear portion you must go past low?

Am I seeing that right?

 

[Bruce]

Yah, those are not the same configuration as the LX grills which puts high output seer setting.

Off, Ignite, Seer, High, Medium, Low

 

[LMichaels]

Doesn't look like it to me. Looks like it steps down in order of heat output from highest to lowest. FWIW also I think you mean "sear". A "seer" is a biblical term. And while these may be "Spirits" I doubt they're "biblical"
