If you only buy one thing, though, make it a fitted cover to protect your grill from rain, wind, snow, etc. It’s the easiest way to prolong the life of your new grill. Burner tubes are another area where food debris collects. Brush food away from the burner holes to keep the flames even. Blackstone Adventure The tubes on the Weber Spirit II E-310 gas grill have screens on their ends to prevent bugs from getting inside, so you won’t need to clean them out, but you should brush off the screens occasionally. For instance, you can have a high-heat sear zone and a low-heat finishing zone.
On the right-hand shelf, you’ll see a badge that reads “iGrill3 ready”. That means your new grill is compatible with Weber’s proprietary thermometer system. A digital thermometer helps you cook to perfection since doneness is measured by temperature, not time. You can read more about it in the Available Upgrades, Accessories, and Attachments section a little further down.
This feature is normally paired with your smartphone and shows you the temperature in the grill to allow a smooth process in your meat getting ready. We gave the Spirit II high marks for effectively searing chicken, salmon and vegetables. The grill’s folding left side table and the two wheels on its right legs also make it more than capable to move around a backyard. This generally means that the grill comes with a dedicated rotisserie burner; the motor and spit are usually purchased separately. A dedicated rotisserie burner is usually located on the back of the firebox, slightly above the cooking grates; some models use the grill’s main burner.
That is what happens when you go public for most companies decisions have to be made if something is not selling or producing the required amount of profit you discontinue it. Private companies obviously have more latitude as nobody can drill down into the product mix and how much profit that product mix produces because they don’t need to disclose that. They may decide for example that they are okay with an entry level grill any grill which produces less profits because they hope that customer decides down the road to upgrade. Public companies are judged by the quarter and forecasts for the year.
This indicates grill temperature when only one or two of the burners are on, to represent a cooking task where the food is placed between or alongside the direct flame. Evenness of heating over the grill’s surface at the highest and lowest setting using all main burners plus the evenness after a 10 minute preheat, using thermocouples. We rarely recommend products we haven’t tested and we never recommend products that we don’t love.
Since we cook down on the grates, it’s always better to use your own digital thermometer and place a probe at the cooking surface. With their acquisition of iGrill digital thermometers, Weber is addressing this issue. Spirit II is “iGrill3 Ready” with a mounting place on the right side shelf for an optional iGrill 3 digital Blackstone Adventure thermometer. This Bluetooth device enables you to place one digital probe at the cooking surface to dial up the correct oven temp, and one probe in your food to monitor internal meat temp. Surprisingly, however, there is no read out on the iGrill 3 itself. You need to use the app even when you’re standing at the grill.
These other grills typically cost around half as much as a Weber and can tempt you into making a “budget based” bad decision. 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. It turns out that Weber offers three different two burner Spirit grills and, while the Spirit E 215 is great, it is not the best of the three options. I don’t know any grills that have transferable warranty’s.
Porcelain-coated grates are also usually easier to clean than other surfaces. But coated-steel grates typically do not sear meats as well or keep temperatures as consistent as sturdier grates made of cast iron or stainless steel. The porcelain coating usually makes such grates easier to clean than other surfaces, and the grates should resist rust as long as their porcelain coating isn’t chipped. Our main complaint for just about every grill is the obligatory bi-metal dial thermometer in the hood that gives you a ballpark reading of what the temperature is high above the meat.
And, it does all this without the need for charcoal, pellets, or wood. Any additional costs will need to be paid for at time of exchange.

Since then Weber, like many others, has outsourced manufacturing of more product lines. Things change, but we believe Weber’s commitment to quality and innovation has not. Heat Flux is the BTU per square inch and is a more useful measure of how much heat a grill delivers than BTU alone. We have also gathered info from the manufacturer, owners and other reliable sources. Not exactly steakhouse quality, but not bad by any means.
