Weber Spirit II E-210 2-Burner Black 26,500-BTU LP Gas Grill Kenyon Noble Lumber & Hardware

A stainless steel work surface is made of cast aluminum that is rust-resistant and durable fitted with built-in hooks for tools. With the E-310 models, however, the Spirit weber spirit 2 II has a lower BTU of 30,000 as against the 32,000 of the Spirit series. This difference is insignificant and does not affect the performance of both grills though.

A dedicated rotisserie burner is usually located on the back of the firebox, slightly above the cooking grates; some models use the grill’s main burner. This feature allows you to roast meat very evenly, yielding a flavor that some people prefer to that of grilled food. Without a doubt, the Weber Spirit E-210 has very little in terms of bells and whistles. char broil performance Apart from its main features, it offers a few useful things such as fold-down side tables that help create additional space while cooking. In addition, it has a hood-mounted thermometer to help you control the cooking process in real-time. You can also separately buy additional accessories for this grill, including a cover and a propane gas tank.

The Weber Genesis E-325s puts out more heat per square inch than our pick, and the main grate has a 20% larger cooking area. Weber also redesigned its expandable upper warming rack, with bars that run front to back , so it’s easier to slide a spatula under the food. Instead of porcelainized cast-iron cooking grates, the Genesis E-325s has a grilling surface made of thick stainless steel rods (these won’t make a huge difference in your grilling results). Like our top pick, the Genesis E-325s has a cast-aluminum firebox and an enameled steel lid and frame. But unlike the Spirit II E-310, the Genesis sits on a closed cart that glides on four casters for easier mobility.

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. We also tested the $649Broil King Baron S520, the $699Char-Broil Commercial Double Headerand the $299Char-Broil Performance XLthis time around. The Baron S520 is a five-burner grill that can hold a ton of food, but its powerful BTUs might intimidate a beginner. Great to have the temperature setting on top and the propane tank indicator on the side.

This fire box design holds and radiates heat evenly, perhaps making up for a lid that seems slightly light weight. The small grease tray slides out from the front and disposable foil liners are available. Simply scrape any accumulated grease and gunk from the funnel walls into the tray now and then. I speculated it may be a cost cutting measure, but Weber responded, “the tank was moved to the side of the grill for easy access.
