Weber Spirit II E-310 Gas Grill Review

Before you get a new grill, make sure that it has a cooking area large enough to fit your needs. If you are going to be cooking for a small family, a small cooking area of 300 to 500 square inches will be more than enough. However, if you are planning on entertaining large numbers of people, consider getting a unit with a larger cooking area of at least 600 square inches. In simple terms, it’s a drip tray for catching excess fat and meat juices.

Being able to generate up to 26,500 BTU, the unit’s two main burners are capable of maximizing the use of this space by heating it thoroughly and completely. Open the door to the world of grilling with crazy good food cooked on the Weber Spirit II E-210 grill as family and friends come together.

I may have been using grills for practically my whole life, but I will be the first one to admit that I absolutely hate cleaning up after a cookout. Therefore, I was interested to see just how easy it would be to clean and maintain the Weber Spirit II E 310 gas grill. This Weber Spirit gas grill doesn’t have too many extra accessories. So, if you are looking for bells and whistles then you may want to check out other gas grills.

I know this is something that newer users are going to like about this grill. Sure, the price tag is a bit on the higher side, but the good news is that with Weber grills, you are getting that stamp of credibility. This grill boasts a high quality construction and ahs excellent build quality from top to bottom. I have to say that the open cart design is a plus in this case. I don’t enjoy opening and closing doors while trying to keep an eye on the grill.

This comes with a side-folding table that makes the grill easy to store. The smart grilling technology used in Weber’s Smart Grills keeps you connected with your food whether you’re at the store or busy in another part of your home. With your smartphone displaying the temperature and status of your food, grilling becomes a more char broil performance relaxing experience. The new smart grills will also hold the exact temperature that you want to set your grill to. This is very similar to the PID controller systems found on Pellet Grills. The cooking space in both grill series measure up to be the same- what you notice, however, is that Spirit II comes in a bulkier design.

When we visited Bering’s in Houston, we took measurements and got a thorough rundown of the grill’s features from a helpful staff member with a wealth of grilling knowledge. This model’s core design components—firebox, burners, control panel—are all the same as those of the Genesis II E-310, which we tested in 2017 and 2018. Knowing this, we’re confident that the new Genesis will perform at least as well as its predecessors. Finally, after all the tests were done, we performed routine maintenance by removing and replacing the propane tanks, emptying the grease traps, washing the grates, and scrubbing out the fireboxes. If you own a grill, you’ll have to perform these tasks at least a few times a year, so a grill that makes them a little easier is a welcome thing. Finally, we restricted our search to grills that burn propane from refillable tanks, the most common fuel by far.

This led us to surmise that the smaller Spirit model concentrates the burners’ heat better. We had no issues with the meat sticking to the flat, porcelain-coated iron grates. And we had no problems with flare-ups, the grease fires that produce charring and acrid smoke. Porcelain-enameled, cast-iron cooking grates retain even heat for the best tasting food. The porcelain-enamel coating is easy to clean and built to last.

The compact open-cart design and the practical folding side table makes it fit even on small spaces, and you have all the basics you need to get familiar with gas grilling. So whether it’s a busy Monday or a relaxed Sunday – invite a couple of friends over, push the ignition and enjoy the special atmosphere that surrounds the grill. The cast iron cooking grates are good for maintaining heat, allowing the food to cook more evenly. They are also fairly easy to clean up after, without causing any damage to the grates. This generally means that the grill comes with a dedicated rotisserie burner; the motor and spit are usually purchased separately.

As it is, the warming-rack bars run edge to edge, and you have to awkwardly jimmy a spatula in there sideways. I love cooking outdoors over live fire and smoke whatever the weather, using various grills, smokers, and wood-fired ovens to produce epic food. My goal with this site is to help as many people as possible enjoy and be good at doing the same. The Spirit ii E-330 has many features that create a real quality cooking experience for both novice and pro alike with the retrospective ability to add accessories.
