Take backyard grilling to the next level with the power and performance of Weber's Spirit grill. A fully enclosed cart with stainless-steel doors and handles makes the Spirit E-210 grill a sharp-looking and long-term addition to any patio. The cart's sides, rear panels, and cast-aluminum end caps are painted black to contrast with the shiny steel. The unit is constructed with a porcelain-enameled shroud with center-mounted thermometer for easy temperature checks.

The cooking system, rated at 26,000 BTUs, includes two stainless-steel burners. Weber's electronic Crossover ignition system lights all three burners in succession with the push of a button. Weber's porcelain-enameled Flavorizer bars eliminate grease-fueled flare-ups that often occur with other grills. This design vaporizes fats and juices when they hit the angled bars, quickly sizzling them away, adding delicious, smoky barbecue flavor rather than cauterizing flames. The primary cooking area measures 350 square inches, but a 108-square-inch warming rack along with a 70-square-inch basket give the Spirit a total of 528 square inches of cooking area--ample space for feeding full-scale patio gatherings.

Rugged, weather-resistant wheels roll easily and won't crack even in extreme temperatures, providing years of smooth transport. For optimal safety, the wheels also lock to keep the grill from rolling while in use. Other features include a removable thermostat, right-hand and left-hand condiment baskets, three tool holders, a precision fuel gauge, a 10-foot flexible hose, and a Weber cookbook. The Spirit is covered by Weber's limited lifetime warranty. Tank not included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now We're Cookin'!, December 5, 2006

By	Sky (New York) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

For whatever reason, Weber has renamed the Genesis line Spirit for 2007. I just bought a new Weber Genesis 3 weeks ago (prior to the name change) after owning my last one for 11 years. There's a 3 burner model and a 2 burner model. If you're reading this you're looking at the 2 burner model.

Excellent product. 2 burners are more than sufficient; I don't know why they even have a 3 burner model since the 3 burner model isn't really that much bigger. The 2 burner model has plenty of room for the needs of everyday family grilling and entertaining a decent size group.

There's plenty of product info on this page from Amazon and the manufacturer, so let me tell you a few things that I do to make my Weber work best for me.

-Most importantly...keep it covered. Amazon sells a cover...get it. Not coving it will cut its life in half at least.
-Cover the funnel shaped grease drip pan with tin foil and change it regularly; otherwise build-up in the trap can catch fire and THAT does not make a steak taste very good.
-Change the disposable grease traps regularly (otherwise they start to stink).
-Get yourself a quality wire brush and use it before each use...NOT after. The build-up on the cooking grates after each use actually protects them from the elements.
-Before each use, after you wire brush the grates, put some cooking oil on some paper towels and wipe the grates down.
-Pre-heat the grill on high for at least 5 - 10 minutes; it burns off anything left over from the cleaning and makes the cooking grates nice and hot.
-Initiate cooking steaks, chops, any cuts of meat (even burgers...no, not hot dogs) on just-over-medium heat for no more than 2 minutes on each side and flip before cooking to your liking. This brief searing of each side locks in the flavor of your cut of meat.
-Cook with a closed cover; normal cuts of meat shouldn't take more than a total of 10 minutes (including the searing).
-Let your meat sit for up to 5 minutes before slicing (or biting into it!). This locks in the juices; if the juices are too hot when you slice (or bite), they'll run right out of your cut of meat.

There you go. Hope that helps. And don't forget to cover the grill after it cools. Bon appetit!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Grill for the Money, September 7, 2007

By	Conrad (Kentucky) - See all my reviews

Pros:
Sturdy construction (other than the wheels), but not as sturdy as the Genesis.
A lot less expensive than the Genesis.
Very little flame up.
Good grease catcher.
Where many other grills have gone to a low-slung hood that makes it difficult to roast large pieces of meat, you can close the hood on this one over chickens and loins and the like.
Work surface (on one side) removes for easy cleaning.
Built-in propane tank gauge.
Condiment bins are mounted away from the box so they stay cool.

Cons:
Flame control not as precise as on Grill-Mate grills (what I had previously).
Wheels a little flimsy for the weight of the grill; they will probably be the first thing to go, and I'll have to replace them with some heavier ones.
Control knobs take up one entire side; only left side is usable work space.
Enameled grill surface is not as nice as the cast iron one on the Q.

Bottom Line:
If you're rich and your yard is secure, look at the Genesis.
If you need a portable grill, look at the Q.
If you're ready to move up from the $150 grills but want to spend less than $500, and capacity is more important than portability, then this is the grill for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars So Far So Good!, May 23, 2008

By	EDJD "EDJD" (Texas) - See all my reviews

After continuous investigation and analysis of gas grills and no matter what, all roads led to a weber grill, just came down to which one and to be honest, how much $$$. I've previously have owned 'cheap' gas grills (charbroil,etc.) and always had mediocre interaction with them flareups/hot-n-cold spots, part failure, etc.
So I decided to give Weber a try, to see what the 'fuss' is all about. I really must admit, I'm pretty impressed. I"m not a savvy gas griller, just ok, but this grill almost feels like a grill and an oven in one... The temperature for 'warmup' can easily hit 500 degrees....I've cooked so far, boneless chicken, fajita meats, chicken strips, more meat!, chicken teriyaki all in about 10 days.
I would agree with some that the default grates w/ this grill are questionable, but they do work and do a fine job, I'm considering changing to SS (stainless steel). The flavorizer bars (used to wonder what the heck they were) work really good, definitely notice flavor enhancement on our food in comparison to our other grills. WHile more expensive overall, I do feel that I"m getting my $$ worth so far and I"m very satisfied with this purchase.
It took me about 40 minutes to put it together out of the box, overall very easy and intuitive, so no real complaints there, just pay attention to the instructions. The propane gauge is awesome! I'm glad it's there.
I guess this is what you can say about this grill, it makes you feel like your in control, it's not humongous, it's not high, it's not heavy, it doesn't get crazy hot where you can't stand next to it.
It does what it does very well so far, I could have easily bought a gas grill (kenmore/barbquegalore/etc.) that looked everybit a high price grill w/o the efficiency that I have experienced so far. It's a very safe and reliable bet to purchase if your on the fence! NO REGRETs!
