Weber Spirit II E-210 BBQ - 4 Year Update
Just an update on the Weber Spirit II that I bought in early 2019. Everything has held up quite well accept for the flavorizer bars. I suspect if I had used the BBQ more they would've not lasted two years. I happened to get 4 out of them because I don't use the BBQ much between December and March. All other items that tend to be consumables like the grilling grates, ignitor, thermometer, and wheels are holding up very well.
I contacted weber about the bars and they sent me no charge replacements as they are covered under the 10 year warranty. Nice benefit. Thanks Weber for standing behind your product!

Weber Spirit E-210 BBQ Follow Up - 18 Months Later #webergrill #BBQ
zhlédnutí 70KPřed 3 lety
We see many reviews of products when they are new, but what about a year or two into the life of an item? This video goes through my experience with the Weber Spirit E-210 LP BBQ and how it has held up over 18 months. I have also shared the way I clean the BBQ. The cleaning portion was in the spring after a cooking throughout the winter, so lots of buildup. I hope you find this video as helpful.
Weber Spirit II E-210 LP BBQ Review
zhlédnutí 176KPřed 5 lety
#webergrill #bbq Purchased this Weber Spirit II Series model E-210 LP BBQ on Feb 22nd at BBQ World in Kanata, ON. Assembly time was approx 90 minutes and was very easy. Very good overall design and all parts fit together perfectly. Propane tank level feature is not the greatest design. First cooking experience was great. Flavorizer Bars (registered TM) worked well to prevent flareups. Looking f...
Instant Pot Spaghetti

It's been a while, but finally got around to making our next video. Spaghetti is is probably the meal we make most often in our IP, so we decided to share how we make it. Here are the ingredients we used: ~2 lbs of lean ground beef - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 garlic clove minced Cook in IP on Saute and drain excess fat then set aside - mushrooms - green pepper - onion - 1 tablespoon olive oil...
Instant Pot Baked Beans
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 6 lety
Our 2nd video is homemade baked beans cooked in the Instant Pot. Everyone you speak to has a specific way of prepping or cooking the beans. I have tried to simplify the process by using the IP. We have tried both soaking and not soaking the beans and come to the conclusion that soaking overnight (at least 8 hours) softens the beans to the way we like them. I used the Thompson's brand white pea ...

If I can't get good molasses, can I leave it out and use more brown sugar instead?
I wish I would've seen this before I replaced my bars. I never imagined they would've been covered.
Quick tip. Rotate your flavorizer bars into that center position yearly allowing them to wear more evenly. This will extend the need maybe another year or two before reolacement. Especially if youre out if warranty.
👍👍
Does this 2 burner grill do well with indirect grilling?
It does work quite well for indirect cooking. Plenty of heat.
I bought mine six years ago in red and the only thing I've replaced are the flavorizer bars which Weber replaced for free and a battery for the stater. Great barbecue !
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear! I'm quite happy with mine as well.
Is there a video of this actually being used??
Stainless steal is Sure the better choice
I just checked this model at Lowe’s today and it seems like the propane tank can now be tucked inside the lower center compartment. ??? Should I get this or the portable Q? Just a family of 3.
I had the Q series and, though it is a good BBQ, I'd definitely go with the Spirit model. Yes, I see the new models hide the tank. A welcomed feature.
Thank you for your video... This really is good to show me how it goes with using a propane barbeque. I am a complete beginner as I have never used one, even though I am 79 years old. It would be great to cook outdoors now that I am following a carnivore lifestyle. Your unit does look pretty bad to me, as I am a perfectionist, but maybe this is just how it is with one of these. I thought about Weber because of the guarantee. Mine would have to be outside year-round in Canadian Winter... so... I just don't know, though I have looked at a Weber Traveler compact that I could fold up and put inside for Winter.
Weber is awesome with their 10 year warranty
Have pressure cookers and crockpots but no instapot, how do I adjust recipes?
doesnt get above 450 degrees
the soot adds to the flavor bruh.....
Hey, thanks for the update. I have been looking to replace my 10 year old Weber 310 with one of these.
I hate my Weber Spirit. The flavourizer bars rust out quickly and rust flakes pop up into your food. The door falls off every time I use it. The nibs wore out -just plastic and won’t turn the controls and grease fires occur all the time due to the poor design and how grease builds up on the bars and interior belly.
My model is a little older and doesn't have a door. Not sure I agree with everything you mentioned as my bars took a few years to rust out, but the flavorizing bars definitely allow build up quite easily, which causes flare ups. They have to be scraped off before every use, which is kind of a pain.
Weber continues to bite the hands that feed them by downgrading their Spirit II grills, first by discontinuing colors, and most recently by discontinuing iGrill 3 compatibility. I have sworn by Weber grills for approximately 50 of my 71 years, but now at my age, the last grill I will probably buy will definitely not be a Weber.
Do you have or use the rotisserie attachment? Do you think the 2 burner gets plenty hot enough? Thanks for the good videos.
My apologies on the late reply. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the rotisserie as I don't have one, but the 2 burner gets plenty hot for what I need.
That's awesome they replaced them!
"Promo sm" 👍
Really appreciate your commitment to doing another review after 4 years. I have been looking at getting into gas bbq game. The E-210 is a very strong contender as it's small and good price for the quality. Will most likely purchase it soon! I'm sure people will hate me but we've been happy with Weber Q1400 electric grill 😂 anyway, our kids are growing and a larger grill is required. Greetings from Finland!
Hello Finland! Whatever works for you. No hate from this guy! :) Thanks for the feedback!
Those Weber grills are really nice, I call them the clam shell bbq, it should last a lifetime, I have the gas version, I see these grills being used on Fiji and Tahiti resorts.
Thanks for the flavoring bar info. Trying to repair stuck control valve. Any tips on removing control panel cover?
Sorry for the late reply! If you pull off the plastic control knobs, there are screws on the metal panel underneath each knob. Then on the underside of the front metal panel at each side there is a screw. Remove all of them and you should be able to remove the panel cover.
Thanks for the video. It is good to know that flavoring bars are covered by the guarantee.
Invest in a cover. I probably wouldn't be getting one of these had my 2007 model Spirit not endured 15 Michigan winters, uncovered.
For sure! I definitely have one. That, in part, is why I believe mine has remained in such good shape.
The design is bad if your tank is inside. Try putting a filled tank of gas inside the unit. You do not have any leverage to do it. Do not recommend this unit.
Sorry, not sure I understand what your point is.
We love our Weber grills. The cheap brands would only last about 2 years before needing repairs and then you can never find exact replacement parts. We own 3 Weber grills and can always find the exact part we need to bring it back to like-new condition and performance. Well worth the investment
Thank you for the great comment. Couldn't agree more!
I always told myself that I would only use a charcoal grill, After purchasing this Weber Spirt 2 I will never go back to charcoal! Great grill!
I have the same issues with the flavorizing bars. I use the grill pretty often and I make sure to keep it clean and covered when not in use, so I'm glad its not something I'm doing. I had no idea these were covered w/ the warranty. Thanks for the vid, I'm going to see if they'll replace mine.
Thanks for the comment! Keeping it clean and covered is the key to longevity! Good luck with the new bars!
holy crap, is that unit filthy.
Yeah, it was pretty bad. Let's just say I had some household members using it that were happy to cook on it, but not so interested in cleaning it.
hi there i was wondering where do i get the red one i can only find the black one?
This is a Weber Spirit 2 E-210, different from the Weber Spirit E-210. More features.
The Spirit 2 E-210 has doors to access the propane tank and both side tables fold down. I believe that is the two major differences from the Spirit E-210.
Too bad the original Weber covers are so ridiculously expensive... when I bought my E-210 10-12 years ago the grill was $300 and the cover $80-90.... now I think around $110...did buy cheap aftermarket that I´ve replaced instead, but what I´ve heard the original dont hold up that good for the cost... Live in Sweden btw
Hello Sweden and thanks for the reply! Yes, prices have gone up significantly on both the BBQ and accessories. Even the grease drip trays have gone from $6.99 to $10.99 for 6 here in Canada in the last 3 years.
Thank you for a very informative, easy to follow appraisal. I pick one of these up tomorrow.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine!
thanks realy helpful its got the ups and its got the downs great video
Thank you for your feedback!!
Do you regret not getting the same model but with the side burner?
Thanks. Very well explained! Please make a follow up video on your experience since you purchased this grill.
Thank you! And it's still going strong!
Whats the max PSI that your Honda washer is rated at?
2700 psi and 2.3 GPM
Good video low key, very informative
Appreciated the feedback. Thanks!
Nice try but hardly a review of how it performs.
I agree. I could've done a better job on the performance part. Next time 😁
@@kitchenunderpressure179 I bought one anyway. Seems to flare up and have more flame on one side versus the other. Better than charbroil rust buckets but hardly worthy of the Weber tag and price.
@@JJJ-pj8ts Hmmm, I can't say I have that problem with mine. Depending how long since you purchased, I'd go back and speak to the vendor about that or contact weber directly. There has to be some benefit to paying the higher price for a Weber and I would hope they'd stand behind it. Good luck!
@@kitchenunderpressure179 thanks will do. Cheers!
Thank you for the great follow up review video. I look forward to the 3-5 year review! Much appreciate your efforts and the tips with cleaning with the pressure washer. Just some follow up questions: How often do you clean the grill (1 or 2 times a season)? Did you have to use any sort of detergent or degreaser prior to pressure washing? Did you notice that the stainless steel surfaces developing "surface rust" that needs to be cleaned off? Is it possible to remove the cook box out of the stand, remove the burners, remove the manifold before pressure washing? Thanks again.
Hello and thank you for your feedback and questions. I typically give the grill a thorough cleaning 2-3 times a year where I take burners out and then pressure wash. Numerous other times I just do a simple scraping of the cook box to get rid of minor buildup. I have not noticed any rusting on any stainless steel parts as of yet. The cook box can be removed, but I see no advantage to removing it from the legs/stand. Take care and happy grilling!
Thanks for sharing. 😎
My pleasure!
Thanks for taking the time to provide this very useful review!
Thank you! My pleasure!
How on God's earth would any one let their BBQ get to that level of dirt, grease and carbon build up? (a) disgusting (b) negligence. Come on guys, a bit of respect for such a great product!
I understand a couple of people have found the build-up to be pretty significant and I do not deny that it was. I get a kick out of trolls like you who want to bash people without an ounce of knowledge on the details. If I could share a little bit of background. I live in Canada and though I'd love to clean my BBQ more often, some winters it's just not in the cards with our weather. I typically maintain the grill grates, scrape the flavorizing bars, keep the cover clean and do some quick scraping of the lower inside housing in the winter, but a combination of bad weather the 2nd half of that winter and some heavy use by family members made for a very dirty grill. I have to say it certainly made for a better visual for the video when cleaning it. I do agree with one thing you said, it is a great product.
Thank you for the opportunity and value of seeing how a pressure washer would remove a high level of grease content on a BBQ, as I am considering the purchase of an entry level pressure washer as well and also considering replacing my older Weber Q3200 BBQ. Your kindness to create the video checked two boxes for me. Thank you Kitchen Under Pressure for your generosity in providing authentic owner feedback for not only on your experience with the Weber Spirit BBQ, but also demonstrating the effectiveness of a pressure washer for maintaining your grill. Gratefully. Liked and Subscribed.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback and the follow! I love both my weber and my Honda-Powered Homelite pressure washer!
You obviously don't regularly clean the BBQ. It looks a mess.
Thanks for watching the video and for your feedback. I've explained the reason behind why it was so dirty, but in case you missed those replies: I live in Canada. The latter part of that winter (2019) was pretty harsh and a combination of heavy use by a number of family members and not getting the ability to clean it resulted in a very dirty BBQ. It has never been anywhere near that dirty since. I'll likely post another video soon to show how it has held up and ppl will see what great condition it is in. That's because I do have pride of ownership.
Regarding plugs that rub against tank weld: just cut them off or remove them if you can.
An overnight soak and hour and a half total cooking time in instant pot sure beats 10 hours traditional method . Thank you .
Sure does!
all i need
I got this grill several months ago. If you’re reading the comments save your money. Cooks uneven, I was expecting quality out of Weber but this thing is junk.
Why is that?
I have one of these, and it's incredible. Best I've ever had. There must be something wrong with yours. Weber does have some troubleshooting tips, if I recall correctly.
Thank you 🙏
Does anyone know if the distance from the grate to the lid would be great enough to do a beer butt chicken?
I apologize on the delay in responding. I am not sure of the clearance and right now the BBQ is wrapped up for winter, so I can't check. I'd estimate there is approximately 12" clearance. Might need to be a small chicken 😁
Do you use the barbecue with the tank fitted on the side?
Yes, I do. Just the way the manufacturer designed it.
