Which is better for a backyard with no gas line?

The S-335. It runs on propane, so you only need a tank. The EX-325W is natural gas only and needs a plumbed line.

Is the EX-325W worth it over the S-335?

Only if you have natural gas and want the Wi-Fi thermometer and app alerts. The S-335 adds a side burner and smoker, which the EX-325W does not list.

The EX-325W claims a 750°F Sear Zone on dual-row PureBlu burners. The S-335 lists Sear Zone Technology but no temperature figure.

Which has more cooking space?

The EX-325W lists 640 sq. in. The S-335 cooking area was not given, so compare the two spec sheets before buying.

The EX-325W carries a 12-year limited warranty versus 10 years on the S-335's ignition. Both use stainless or enameled parts that hold up with regular cover and cleaning.

Can I use Weber Crafted accessories on both?

Yes. The S-335 includes the Gourmet BBQ System grids and frame, and the EX-325W's grates flip to fit Weber Crafted grillware. Accessories are sold separately on the EX-325W.

Weber Genesis S-335 Gas Grill vs Weber Genesis Smart EX-325W

Both are three-burner Weber Genesis grills, but they are built for different setups. The S-335 is a propane grill with a side burner and a smoker box, and it is the better pick for most shoppers who want flexibility and a lower entry price. The EX-325W is natural gas only and adds a Wi-Fi thermometer with app alerts, so it suits people who already have a gas line and want remote monitoring. The S-335 was listed at $602.70 at Luvians as of October 29, 2026; no current price was given for the EX-325W, so compare store prices before deciding.
