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.

Even though we didn’t officially test the Spirit II E-210, we did test its predecessor, the Weber Spirit E-210 .
