It also gives an indication how quickly the grill reaches its maximum temperature. There are a couple of design areas where the Weber Spirit II E-310 is lacking, though. The three burners are enough for a small family but perhaps not for larger groups or parties.
The one downside of the smaller, more compact size is that the hood isn’t as deep as it is on other Weber models, but that shouldn’t be a hindrance unless you’re planning on cooking a huge hunk of meat. Thanks to the GS4 grilling system, which provides high-performance burners and upgraded ignitors, it’s a plenty powerful model with impressive heating elements, too. For those looking to watch it work, it’s even compatible with a Bluetooth-enabled iGrill 3 thermometer that can send grilling updates from the Spirit II to your phone. No, the Weber Spirit II E-310 does not have a waffle making function. However, it excels in its primary function as a barbecue grill and offers a spacious grill surface size for cooking various types of food. Start by heating the grill on high for approximately 15 minutes to burn off any leftover food residue.
No, the Weber Spirit II E-310 does not have a smoke function. However, it still provides a great grilling experience without the smoke feature. Some of the niche features, like the Spirit II’s propane scale and its optional integration with the iGrill 3 smart temperature probe are really nice extras. Ultimately, though, they aren’t worth spending three hundred dollars more ($400 more if you also buy the $100 iGrill 3). Since we had to wait until every burger got to 145 degrees, many of them were more on the well-done side by the time each test ended. Even so, they had a nice char on the outside and were pretty tasty.
Still, it’s a pretty grill that stands out from all of the regular stainless steel cookers. But I wouldn’t get one unless you’re especially keen on its propane scale and optional temperature probe — and nice range of color finishes to choose from. That means the Baron excels at cooking large quantities, whereas the Double char broil performance Header has two separate, main grill compartments for optimal multitasking during entertaining. Stick a chicken on one side on indirect medium heat and flip burgers on the other side using high heat. The Double Header also has a side burner if you want to heat up some BBQ sauce on the side while you make your main course.
The sleek open-cart design provides additional room and accessibility of your grilling tools. Most small and average-sized grills have two separate burners, controlled independently, or one burner with independently controlled halves. Some average-size grills have up to four burners with corresponding controls large grills often have six. Additional burner controls generally allow the cook more flexibility. The main cooking area of the grill rounded to the nearest 5 sq. Not including any searing burners in the main cooking area.
