Weber Spirit E-210 Gas Grill Review

The Weber Spirit E-210 is one of the best starter grills on the market, ideal for somebody who is looking for a simple but effective grill. Coming with two stainless steel burners, which each offers 13,000 BTUs, this grill is perfect for backyard BBQs. Offering 350 square inches of pure grilling space, this is one of the smallest grills Weber make. However with an additional 108 inches worth of warming area, there is more than enough space to grill enough food for your average family, with a rotisserie add-on available as an additional purchase.

If you’re looking to buy a grill to cater for neighbourhood get-togethers or larger catering then it would be wise to look at a larger grill such as the Brinkmann ProSeries 2630 which offers a complete 637 square inch worth of cooking space and is equipped to hold up to 50lb of food.

The E-210’s compact design makes it an ideal choice for less spacious yards and patios, with a maximum height of 60 inches and a width of 52 inches, it can fit into small unoccupied areas with ease. This Weber grill has been cleverly designed with a grip area and heavy duty swivel wheels (two of which are lockable), to ensure that it can easily be manoeuvred, again beneficial for those limited on space. It also comes in a choice of fuel power; natural gas or propane tank, which is housed in an enclosed storage area.

As with all Weber grills, this model is made from quality materials and though it is limited on its extras, it has is the perfect model for those limited on experience of grilling or who wish to keep the cooking experience simple. Like many of the Weber machines, the Weber Spirit E-210 uses the patented Electronic Crossover® ignition system, which lights the burners with a simple push of a button. The grills porcelain enameled flavorizer bars (grill barrier) which help to eliminate any grease induced flare up, come with the machine and these also help the smoke drift back upwards, to add extra flavor to the food. Consistently producing even heat, this model’s burners operate from under porcelain coated welded steel cooking grates.

Made largely from porcelain coated steel, and using quality internal components, the Weber Spirit E-210 is built to last. It has stainless steel side tables and front panel, making it easy to clean and durable. There is also a thermometer mounted on the machines hood, allowing users to monitor heating temperatures.

As with all Weber machines, a warranty is offered along with a dedicated 24/7 helpline, which is happy to answer any questions, even those about how to grill. Despite the E-210’s compact size, it is still one of the more expensive grills on the market. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, the Brinkmann Pro Series 2500 compares favourably.
