Weber’s warranty covers burner hoods on the 2022 Genesis models and all parts on the Spirit II models for 10 years. Or you could find third-party options that claim higher performance and long lifespans (though we haven’t tested these claims ourselves). We wish the bars of the Spirit II E-310’s warming racks ran front to back, parallel to the main grates, like they do on our upgrade pick, the Genesis E-325s. That way, you could easily slide a spatula under stuff that’s warming.
Reflects how wide a temperature span the grill offers by comparing temperatures at the high setting and lowest setting possible. Evaluates the temperature after a 10 minute preheat using thermocouples. It also gives an indication how quickly the grill reaches its maximum temperature. Of all the fuels mentioned here, charcoal emits the most carbon into the atmosphere. Though there’s no debating that, some experts argue that lump charcoal is potentially carbon neutral.
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 weber spirit 2 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.
Below the cooking area, there is a surprising amount of storage space for tools and accessories, which is freed up by positioning the gas tank on the side. With a generous grilling space and features consistent and superior temperature control and is designed to be roomy and self-sufficient at the same time. This grill blasts away at 26,500 BTUs and features an open cart design with 6 tool hooks for your grilling tools. Of warming rack, this grill is perfect for cooking in smaller groups.
Being a simple and straightforward gas grill, the E-210 does not have an impressive number of main features. On the contrary, the device has two very basic burners, 360 square inches of porcelain-coated cast-iron cooking grates and very little Blackstone Adventure else. Somehow, though, using only these two main features, the grill manages to be versatile enough to facilitate a variety of cooking styles. Whether you require direct or indirect heat, the interior design of the unit allows it.

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.
While it may not be on the same level as high end or newer models, the Weber Spirit II E 310 has plenty to offer in terms of both power as well as grilling opportunities. Of course, a pretty important aspect of any grill is temperature control and maintenance. The temperature gauge is easy to use and is great for ensuring that you choose as precise of a setting as you desire. This feature can be especially useful in colder conditions when you are finding against lower temperatures and wind in starting up your grill. As it is all battery operated, the effort is taken out of your hands.
I also like that the grill has indicators that let you know where exactly to adjust the burner knobs for high, medium and low heat. It also doesn’t have a spot to hide the propane tank like the Spirit II’s competitors. That isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker, but it looks less streamlined since you can easily see the tank versus hiding it behind a couple of doors.
Owner satisfaction ratings are based on the proportion of members who are extremely likely to recommend their gas grill brand to their friends and family. From Bluetooth speakers to patio furniture to gas and charcoal grills, here’s what we think you need for backyard entertaining and cooking. Finally, be aware that a few parts of a grill are consumables, so you will need to replace them occasionally. The burner hoods (metal “tents” that sit over the burners and guide grease away from the flames to prevent flare-ups) are usually the first to go.
