Weber Spirit vs Spirit II 2023 : New Smart Grills

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.

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.

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.

Weber also guarantees major parts on its 2022 Genesis grills—including the grates, hoods, burner tubes, lid assembly, and cookbox—for at least 10 years. Charcoal grills are much cheaper, however, and they can burn hotter than gas grills, for a better sear. Charcoal also imparts a pleasantly smoky flavor to your food, which is something you can’t get from a gas flame. But charcoal takes time to light, and you have to be comfortable with moving around coals and fiddling with vents to control the grill’s heat.

That being said, the feature that I am most fond of here is the propane scale. First off, it means that you never waste any propane – the fuel gauge tells you whether or not your tank is empty before you take it in for a new one.
