Which is better for a large backyard party?

The Denali. Its 900 sq in total area and 78,000 BTU handle about 35 burgers at once, against 640 sq in on the Weber.

Which sears steak better?

The Weber's Sear Zone reaches 750°F, slightly hotter than the Denali's 700°F. The Denali adds a dedicated ceramic infrared sear burner and a side searing station, so both sear well.

Can I use the Denali with natural gas?

No. The Denali is propane only and not compatible with natural gas. The Weber Genesis EX-325W is natural gas only, so the two are not interchangeable on fuel.

Is the Weber worth the extra $150?

If you have a natural gas line, yes: you get a 12-year warranty and Wi-Fi alerts. If you need propane or more cooking space, the Denali at $899.00 is the better value.

Weber backs the Genesis with a 12-year limited warranty, and its PureBlu burners are designed to resist clogs and corrosion. The Denali lists no warranty, so its long-term support is less certain.

Which is easier to monitor remotely?

The Weber uses Wi-Fi through the Weber Connect app with one wired probe. The Denali uses Bluetooth with two meat probes and an on-grill LED display, which is better for probe count but shorter in range.
