It featured high performance with compact grills and foldable shelves. The larger the model, the more space it would be consumed, unlike the smaller model. The challenges continued for some time, which led to the emergence of the Weber Spirit II, which was an enhanced version. Blackstone Adventure It was much lighter, had two wheels, a longer warranty, and more grill color options compared to the Spirit gas. Both series have come in handy as they are preferred due to their durability and good quality, even if they are more expensive than other grillers in the market.
The gas line and firebox are the only components that come pre-assembled, and you’ll need to build the rest yourself. The instruction manual is relatively easy to understand and follow, but pay very close attention to each and every step if you want to avoid trouble. It shouldn’t take you much more than 2 hours to assemble yourself. Has a high-quality build and is designed to last for many years to come.
I flipped between 6 and a dozen of the newer Spirit II and Gensis II line and I had not considered the lack of retail parts for them. Of course the Flavorizer, deflectors, and grates are available, but not the burner tubes . I love flipping these, as they are very easy to clean and the genesis tubes come out tool less. The burners are built very well and I have never had to think about replacing them. This model is compatible with Weber’s $100 iGrill 3 app-enabled temperature probe. The other grills we tested don’t offer any smart accessories, which sets the Weber apart.
Unlike the original Spirit grills , these are cart-style models, which means you’ll have more space to maneuver down below. The E-310 is a larger version of the E-210—the main difference is that it features three burners, instead of two. This means more total surface area for cooking, as well as a slight increase in storage space. The price is accordingly higher as well, though not as much as you might pay for a later-model three-burner grill.
The grease trays slide out easily and there’s a disposable drip plan that can be trashed, making cleaning super fast and simple. Those porcelain enameled cast iron cooking grates are also easy to clean with a gentle work over using a stainless steel brush. The Weber Spirit II E-310, introduced in January 2018, replaced the original Spirit E-310 as our top pick for gas grills. Its overall compact size suits almost any patio or deck, but its grilling surface is big enough to cook a complete meal for a family, or a dozen burgers for a party. With a thick, rust-proof cast-aluminum firebox, it’ll last for years.
This is also the tech behind how a grill warms up faster and gets hotter than other grills. Electric grills create delicious-tasting food for what they are, but you still won’t get the same taste as you would on weber spirit 2 a charcoal or propane grill. This grill has an Electronic Crossover ignition system and a center mounted thermometer for easy grilling. The grill starts immediately and gets to your desired temperature quickly.
For making dinner, your eyes, experience, and a good instant-read thermometer are better tools. The entire Spirit II line interfaces with Weber’s iGrill 3 “smart” thermometer ; however, as with a lot of “smart” gear, we’re not sold on it. The ability to remotely monitor conditions is useful for 24/7 appliances like thermostats, security systems, and garage doors. For monitoring how your dinner is doing, your eyes, your experience, and a good instant-read thermometer are better tools. Offering an unrivaled combination of performance, usability, versatility, durability, and value, this is the best grill for most people. Usually replace grills every 3 years because of problems with them, not with this Weber!
Now it looks like there will be no open cabinets at all in the line. Moves like this are going to have buyers look at competitors like Napoleon more seriously. Weber needs a good entry level option and a $600 level is not it. For these reasons, I think the Spirit II is a bargain worth considering if you are looking to buy a new gas grill this year. IGrill 3 is a high tech way to monitor your food from beginning to end. It notifies you when your food has reached the perfect temperature to take off the grill.
