Better quality grills, like Spirit II, blanket the entire cook box for more even heat and more delicious sizzle . Weber famously calls their tents “Flavorizer Bars”. Note the notches on the sides of each bar which provide a visual confirmation that the burners beneath them are indeed lit. Spirit II has four legs, two wheels and a lower open-air storage rack. Speaking of the warranty, the Spirit II carries that same 10 year all parts warranty as the Genesis II. This is not true of the Spirit line, which has a 2-5 year warranty depending on the part.

Although Spirit II is Weber’s entry level full-sized gas grill line, it is still more expensive than many popular low cost brands. However, most Spirit owners feel that Weber’s quality, durability, performance and customer service are worth it. Many cheapo gassers only last three to four years while Spirits can keep grilling for decades. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Prices on Spirit II 3-burner and 2-burner grills are $599 and $499 respectively, but the street price is about a hundred bucks less. Those who take the long view on purchasing decisions could consider Spirit’s $500 (3-burner) and $400 (2-burner) street prices a bargain. Primary cooking grates made of porcelain-coated steel will resist rust as long as their porcelain coating isn’t chipped.
Not having an entry level grill and essentially relegating that market share to the CharBroils of the world is a questionable strategy. I can imagine parts for the spirit ii being hard to obtain after a few years. Even with a 10 yr warranty, you’re still out of luck if weber runs out of parts. The char broil performance Spirit II is rather stylish if not overwhelmingly solid, at least in my personal inspection. The “frame” is really just bent metal, and, unfortunately, those slats on the bottom are just painted steel. We have seen some of the same slats on the Genesis II already rusting in some posts here.
You no longer have digital access to ratings and reviews. Most grills have a mechanical igniter of either the push-button or rotary design. More convenient is a battery-operated electronic igniter, which usually ignites the gas on the first try. Some grills also have lighting holes, on the side Blackstone Adventure of or beneath the grill, that can be used with a match should the igniter fail. Located on the propane tank or the grill itself, this reveals at a glance how much propane remains in the tank. While burners remain the grill’s most-replaced part, most are warranted for only 3 to 5 years.
