We also tested the $649 Broil King Baron S520, the $699 Char-Broil Commercial Double Header and the $299 Char-Broil Performance XL this time around. The Baron S520 is a five-burner grill that can hold a ton of food, but its powerful BTUs might intimidate a beginner. I speculated it may be a cost cutting measure, but Weber responded, “the tank was moved to the side of the grill for easy access. The open cart was designed to have easy access to tools in the rack below”.
Weber’s GS4 Grilling System is on display proudly on the Weber Spirit II. It’s a little on the pricey side for a mid-level propane grill on the one side, but on the other, you get a ton of features for an optimal grilling experience. To help justify the price of a new Weber they have also included a 10-year warranty. We inventory many of our products in our warehouse in North Liberty, Iowa to provide quick and flexible shipping options for the entire country. Certain custom-finished products and other items will ship factory direct from the manufacturer when necessary and can take additional time to process. The Weber Spirit II E-210 grill is an internationally recognized liquid propane grill.
The two models have the same bones—the same burners, side tables, and overall dimensions. The Spirit SX-315 connects to Wi-Fi and lets you monitor the meat probe through an app. The smart features may be helpful for some people, but we didn’t find them worth the price increase. On the positive side, the cart has welded steel pieces and provides a sturdy base for the grill. We also like that the base sits on four casters—as opposed to the Spirit II models’ two fixed wheels—making it easier for folks of varying abilities to maneuver the cart around their patio.

With all burners on High, temps were about 600°F front and 680°F back. A red hot bed of fire on a charcoal grill creates a blend of radiant, convection and conduction heat that can out-sear most gas burners, particularly in this price range. Gas grill manufacturers often rely on cast iron conduction to amplify the gas burner heat and at least add some brown sear marks to food surfaces.
With the multitude of $300 gas grills invading the BBQ market every year, a big challenge Weber always faces is price. 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.
It only weighs about 107 pounds, which is light for its class. Still, read our Weber Q1200 review if you want a true portable barbecue. The refund issued will be for the total amount of the order minus original outbound shipping and any return shipping costs incurred by Spotix Inc. If your return is due to an error made by us, you will not be responsible for shipping costs. Open your door to the world of grilling with the sleek Spirit II E-210 gas grill.
This model is compatible with Weber’s $100 iGrill 3 app-enabled temperature probe. Since the iGrill 3 costs an extra hundred bucks and is optional, I didn’t test it with the Spirit II. In theory, Blackstone Adventure you connect it to the grill and can check in on the temperature of your food from your phone. The other grills we tested don’t offer any smart accessories, which sets the Weber apart.
Weber’s red $599 Spirit II E-310 gas grill cooks pretty well, but costs too much. Millions come to AmazingRibs.com every month for high quality tested recipes, tips on technique, science, mythbusting, product reviews, and inspiration. But it is expensive to run a website with more than 2,000 pages and we don’t have a big corporate partner to subsidize us.
