This is definitely a nice feature if you like to barbecue chicken, turkey, & other fowl! Across the three chicken tests, they averaged 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach 165 degrees. That isn’t a very long wait, but it’s significantly longer than the Char-Broil Performance XL, which only took 1 hour and 11 minutes. My chicken was tender and somewhat juicy with somewhat crispy skin — I even took some home for leftovers. But the speedy Performance XL blew it away with deliciously tender whole grilled chickens. The GS4 system includes a new ignition system that’s “ensured to ignite every time.” It worked eight times out of ten, but it didn’t always ignite after my first attempt.

Being the smallest in the series, the Weber Spirit E-210 is even more compact than its Genesis counterparts. At this point, I should also mention that it’s also the more affordable one. Despite its dimensions, however, this model features the same expert construction and high-quality materials as all Weber grills. With hooded grills, over time the grease and carbon build-up can take on the look of flaking paint. Rest assured it isn’t, and it can be easily removed with a good brush into a tray and disposed of.
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.
2 stainless steel burners are connected to the front panel and allow for temperature control even during indirect cooking and battery-powered ignition system. Before wrapping up, let’s take a look at how the Weber Spirit II E 310 gas grill holds up against other models. This may have a lower price, but the E 310 outclasses it in cooking surface area, power, and the number of burners, so there is no competition, really. Primary cooking grates made of stainless-steel are generally sturdier than those made of coated steel and resist rust even without a porcelain coating.
The Weber Spirit II E-330 is one of Weber’s budget all-rounders. The Spirit series of grills feature everything you would expect in a grill twice the size but in a compact unit that packs plenty of bang for your buck. Weber Spirit E-310 Gas Grills has three burners with a combined BTU of 30,000 which is right where it needs to be. The unit doesn’t include a side burner, which is unfortunate but not all that uncommon.
To a degree, all grills suffer from this problem, because the burners don’t extend all the way to the front of the firebox. But the Spirit II E-310 offered the most consistent heating across the entire grate surface. After 10 minutes, the burgers at the rear were medium-well, and those at the front were medium-rare to medium . On the Napoleon grill, meanwhile, some of the front burgers were nearly raw in the center, while the rear burgers were well-done. In spring 2017, we kicked off this grill guide by putting six gas grills through a battery of tests. We cooked a full grate of burgers on high heat and chicken pieces at a low temperature.
