Joe and his brother Tony have run Big Apple BBQ, one of the New York region’s leading grill shops, for over 30 years. Because Salvaggio is an independent retailer who carries grills from many manufacturers, he was able to speak freely about what he saw as the relative strengths and weaknesses of various designs. The sleek open-cart design provides additional room and accessibility of your grilling tools. Without a doubt, I would be completely remiss not to include a few images from comment sections across the web that support my review of the Weber Spirit E-210. I’ve found that the public, in general, has mostly good things to say about this gas grill.
Gas grills run on either liquid propane or natural gas—both fossil fuels. Though both are relatively clean-burning fuels, propane emits fewer greenhouse pollutants than natural gas—though the difference is negligible. However, propane is more efficient because it burns hotter than natural gas. Additionally, propane tanks are inexpensive, reusable, and available at most hardware and big-box stores. Those are parts that should be easy to find and can be purchased for a reasonable price—preferably from the company that made the grill. Any solid grill maker will have those available for purchase, even if your grill is 15-plus years old.
This is especially true since it isn’t equipped with even one side burner. One of the interesting features of the Weber Spirit II E 310 review is that it has just two wheels instead of the typical four wheels. Yes, it can make moving the grill around a little trickier, but it’s nice to have that added stability while grilling. This is especially true if you are balancing food items on the two side tables on either side of the grill – another nice touch. Many gas grills also come in a natural-gas version, usually with a different model number that includes an “N” for natural gas.
The porcelain coating usually makes such grates easier to clean than other surfaces, and the grates should resist rust as long as their porcelain coating isn’t chipped. Next time you cook, brush the cold, soot-covered grills clean, wipe them with a wet paper towel or rag, and then proceed. That goes against the common advice to clean the grates while they’re hot.
Common to both Spirit and Spirit II, Weber grills come with some excellent wheels that make the movement of the grills smoother. For many, aesthetics is as important an element as functionality in a grill. An aesthetically pleasing grill comes with an elegant design, manages space well, and blends char broil performance in well with its surroundings. Both Spirit and Spirit II grills are priced at the higher end of the spectrum (when compared to other grills in the market. Among themselves, Spirit II is more affordable). These are not paid placements, they are a curated selection of reviewed products.
At any rate, though, this is a practical and efficient grill that’s also compact and portable. With two stainless steel burners, the unit is capable of generating 26,500 BTU, making it powerful enough to handle small barbecues with no problems. At the same time, it has a wide temperature range, allowing you to cook at either low, medium or high temperatures with the same amount of ease. The Spirit ii E-330 has porcelain-coated grates and flavorizer bars, making them a doddle to clean, just brush them off with a grill brush to remove food debris.
Most gas grills use metal heat tents under the cooking grate to disperse heat, protect the burners, and to sizzle drippings that impart flavor to foods. Better quality grills, like Spirit II, blanket the entire cook box for more even heat and more delicious sizzle . Note the notches on the sides of each bar which provide a visual confirmation that the burners beneath them are indeed lit.
Remember to avoid using too much pressure or harsh tools or you may risk chipping the coating. In fact, I would readily recommend this model to those who are getting started. From start to finish, this offers an easy yet high quality grilling experience.
A good stainless steel cleaner and polish is good for protecting it from the elements and keeping it shiny. Google their sales videos, and you’ll hear more than a few of their reps say that they design cooking methods, not cooking equipment, and we’re inclined to agree. It still stands out from other grills as a fantastically built grill. The weber spirit 2 Spirit ii E-330 is a robust product that offers great value for many and will last for many years to come. You expect a certain level of quality with a grill from Weber, and the Spirit ii E-330 is no exception. It does use a slightly lower grade of steel than it’s more expensive big brothers, but this is not detrimental to the grill itself.
It has twin probes for monitoring internal temps of two meats, plus the capability to add two more if you want to. The iGrill3 is custom-made for certain Weber grills, the Spirit ii E-330 is one of them. A good remote monitored thermometer system is a must for any grill king. Weber themselves say it’s a great choice for anyone looking to ‘take their backyard cuisine to another level‘.
