Not including any searing burners in the main cooking area. This indicates grill temperature when only one or two of the burners are on, to represent a cooking task where the food Blackstone Adventure is placed between or alongside the direct flame. A good gas grill should last a decade or more, provided that you clean it after every use and protect it from the elements.
Many people who are shopping for a two burner grill are doing so because they want a grill with a small footprint. The E215 helps in that department by allowing you to fold both side tables down if desired. We rarely recommend products we char broil performance haven’t tested and we never recommend products that we don’t love. Often, but not always, if you purchase a product after clicking a link on our site we get a finder’s fee. We recommend products based on quality and price, not on fees.
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. Cheap gassers often have only one tent over each burner. Better quality grills, like Spirit II, blanket the entire cook box for more even heat and more delicious sizzle (see below). Weber famously calls their tents “Flavorizer Bars”.
We were testing it side by side with other grills for reference and this was by far the easiest to move across both grass and concrete. Storage is one of the only problems with this grill. One is that the side tables don’t fold down for storage. The other is that the side holder for propane is pretty small. We found that a propane tank 30lb or larger won’t fit, so will have to sit out on the patio. Like almost all grills, this grill is hand-clean in soapy-water only.
Note the notches on the sides of each bar which provide a visual confirmation that the burners beneath them are indeed lit. For 2018, Weber sticks to the basics with a revamped version of their popular, full-size, entry-level Spirit gas grill line. Like its predecessor, Spirit II is a workhorse that delivers solid performance and is easy to use, easy to clean and available in two and three burner configurations. Increasingly cuckoo for color, Weber offers Spirit in black, ivory, red, sapphire, exclusive mocha versions for Lowe’s and exclusive stainless steel versions for Home Depot. Weber added two new models to its Spirit line of gas grills in 2020, but we ultimately chose not to test them.
They cooked fast at two minutes per side, although the front row needed an additional minute. We’d prefer overall, even heat from the front to the back of the grill, but we appreciated how quickly and easily Spirit weber spirit 2 II cooked this popular item. The burgers were remarkably juicy, perhaps due to the fast cook time. This fire box design holds and radiates heat evenly, perhaps making up for a lid that seems slightly light weight.
