You’ll need a large shed to accommodate it, but due to the aforementioned cumbersome portability, it might be better to store it under a cover. The Weber branded covers are expensive but essential to protect the barbecue from the weather if you’re going to leave it outdoors. While the two wheels are large, strong and robust with very little wobbling, it takes a little practice to move it around. However, this two-wheel design did mean the barbecue felt very secure when planted on its two non-wheeled legs. The Spirit II has wheels on one side, which means you have to tilt it to move it around (this isn’t the case with the more expensive Weber Genesis range, which has products with four wheels). In total, it took 1 hour and 45 minutes to put together, from opening the box through to full construction.
Not having an entry level grill and essentially relegating that market share to the CharBroils of the world is a questionable strategy. I can imagine parts for the spirit ii being hard to obtain after a few years. Even with a 10 yr warranty, you’re still out of luck if weber runs out of parts. The Blackstone Adventure Spirit II is rather stylish if not overwhelmingly solid, at least in my personal inspection. The “frame” is really just bent metal, and, unfortunately, those slats on the bottom are just painted steel. We have seen some of the same slats on the Genesis II already rusting in some posts here.

There’s also an easy-to-read fuel gauge that you can use to never be caught off guard when it’s time to refuel. The fuel tank is mounted outside the grill, too, so replacing it only takes a few seconds and lets you get back to the cooking quickly. While the Weber Spirit II E-310 is Weber’s entry-level gas grill, it packs a lot of punch performance-wise and was our best-reviewed gas grill for putting gorgeous sear marks on burgers.

Although Spirit II is Weber’s entry level full-sized gas grill line, it is still more expensive than many popular low cost brands. However, most Spirit owners feel that Weber’s quality, durability, performance and customer service are worth it. Many cheapo gassers only last three to four years while Spirits can keep grilling for decades. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices on Spirit II 3-burner and 2-burner grills are $599 and $499 respectively, but the street price is about a hundred bucks less. Those who take the long view on purchasing decisions could consider Spirit’s $500 (3-burner) and $400 (2-burner) street prices a bargain. Primary cooking grates made of porcelain-coated steel will resist rust as long as their porcelain coating isn’t chipped.
Grease and carbon build-up over time might make it look like paint is peeling from inside the lid, but there’s no paint here. Brush the flakes off and into a pan for disposal before they char broil performance start falling into your food. For anyone looking to get a little more from their grilling experience than a basic barbecue can offer, the Spirit II E-310 is an appealing choice.
