3400 specifications

The Weber 3400 is a remarkable device that has garnered attention for its exceptional design, functionality, and efficiency. As a grill, it stands out in the realm of outdoor cooking, appealing to both novice grillers and seasoned barbecue enthusiasts alike.

At the heart of the Weber 3400 is its advanced grilling system that combines historical craftsmanship with innovative technology.

This versatility allows for greater culinary creativity, making it an indispensable tool for outdoor gatherings.

The Weber 3400 is equipped with a powerful ignition system, ensuring a quick start every time. The electronic ignition ignites the gas burners with the push of a button, eliminating the need for matches or lighters.
