With a generous grilling space and features consistent and superior temperature control and is designed to be roomy and self-sufficient at the same time. These grills are backed by a longer warranty than the Spirit grills but have fewer models available. Another limitation with the Spirit II is models in this series do not come with side burners. We cooked a grillfull of pre-made one-third pound hamburgers on high with the lid down.
While most models of the Spirit II series are designed to be an upgrade of the Spirit, some common features define the Spirit line up of Weber grills. Started in 1893, with over 60 years in the field of barbeque design and innovation, Weber grills are known for their convenient features, versatile design and consistent performance. With its roots in George Stephen’s famous “Barbeque kettle” designed in 1952, Weber grills have evolved in leaps. Over the coming years, Weber introduced a line of charcoal, gas, and even portable grills. The flat side of the Spirit II grill grate is half cast iron for better heat conduction and searing, and half open for radiant and convection cooking (see below). 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”. In any case, prices for the new Spirit II are unchanged from the previous model. The new cart design on the Spirit II moves the location of the propane tank to the side of the grill. The original Spirit grills have the propane tank located Blackstone Adventure in the cabinet underneath the grill. One of the most common complaints about the original Spirit grills is that installing and removing propane tanks is a pain. Some older customers said that having to kneel down and get into the cabinet to change a tank was literally causing them pain in their knees.
There is also the fact that you don’t have to worry about running out of fuel again. This is great for larger cookouts – you always know when to keep a reserve on hand. Especially with larger cuts of meat, you can simply insert the probe and occassionally check your app to see how fast the meat is cooking. Speaking of thermometers, this grill can be hooked up to the Weber’s app connected thermometer. This accessory isn’t available with the grill and is sold separately.
With the E-310 models, however, the Spirit II has a lower BTU of 30,000 as against the 32,000 of the Spirit series. This difference is insignificant and does not affect the performance of both grills though. An introductory line of offering, the grills under this series comes with the iconic GS4 grilling, ignition, 10-year warranty, and flavorizer bars that prevent flare-ups.
Weber’s warranty covers burner hoods on the 2022 Genesis models and all parts on the Spirit II models for 10 years. Or you could find third-party options that claim higher char broil performance performance and long lifespans (though we haven’t tested these claims ourselves). “I emailed the photos on Thursday, and on Saturday an incident rep called me.
