The twin probes monitor the internal temperature of two cuts of meat, with the option to add two more probes. With no charcoal or wood to worry about, even first-timers will soon get the hang of cooking on this grill. This could mean searing on one very hot section of the grill and then finishing on another, cooler section. Or, you can use convection to roast or slow cook meat for many hours over indirect heat.
After taking everything out of the box it’s time to put up some of those nice stainless steel legs (yay!). The front part of these legs has a cool weber logo laser etched into them- very classy! Bolting them to the bottom side of the cart was easy though it would have been easier if they had just come with flat head bolts instead of nuts & bolts.
The porcelain-enameled Weber Spirit II E-310 features 3 stainless steel burners that produce 32,000 BTUs, each with independent electronic ignition. The warming rack provides an additional 105 square inches for a total of 529 square inches of cooking area. Spirit grills come equipped with a porcelain-enameled grease tray with a catch pan to make clean-up as easy as possible. The black porcelain-enameled hood has a center-mounted thermometer to monitor cooking temperatures and painted cast-aluminum end caps. This Weber Spirit grill has a painted steel frame and front-mounted control knobs to leave more room on the two stainless steel side shelves for prep space. The grill cart features painted steel doors, stainless steel handles, painted side and rear panels, and four heavy-duty casters .
The burner is covered, so if you want to use the shelf, you still can. Personally, if we had to pick one upgrade, we would recommend going for the next option, which adds the Weber CRAFTED suite of upgrades. You start with the basic three-burner E-325 and go up from there.
Area heating is very consistent, which is one of the complaints I had with my other grill. I’ve only had the Spirit II for a few weeks so I’m still learning and experimenting, but I’m looking forward to a long, weber spirit 2 happy and delicious relationship. Grilling selling season is basically over Sept is generally when these various chains dump on sales all the cheapo gas grills to get rid of inventory before the fall.
