- Since making this video I've continued using the grill for 2 more years (May 2020). No issues and since I take care of it, it sill looks like new. No rust. No issues at all.

Thanks Michael. Great review & quick tutorial! Can't wait to throw some chops and tri-tip on this new Weber grill!!
I have the newer version of this grill and love it. It heats up nicely and is easy to use. Actually, it doesn't take much to get the grill hot, and once warmed up and cooking I turn the dials down, because it can run a little hot. I see it as saving propane. lol. Its easy to use, easy to maintain, and looks amazing. Oh, and they have a 10 year warranty as well that covers everything. Great video!
I live alone and thought to just get the two burner but now I see it's worth the extra $100 for the 3. Thanks for the review.
Even if you may not need the 3rd? Cooking for a small family
Nice job, thanks for taking time to make this video. Buying one tomorrow>
Hope you enjoy it!
Excellent review! Thank you!
Just bought this grill today. I wanted to assemble it myself, so I'll be doing that this weekend. Looking forward to steaks, and chicken wings.
Great review.
I’ve been looking into it. Let me know how it goes!
Hope you enjoy
Did you assemble it? If so, how long did it take you?
Lookout Now a buddy and I did, it didn’t take too too long, but he picked up on it pretty quickly from past experience putting stuff together, I helped how i could
You were right. My lucky day! Ha ha. Thank you. Answered all my questions.
Lovely review, thank you. I'm very close to buying this same model.
Glad it was helpful! Did you decide on the same grill?
@@michaelerbreviews Yes! I bought the Weber Spirit E-215, loving it!
Great followup. You could have pulled the other tray to show how easy that is too. I really like my e210 as well.
keep making good content 🙂
Thank you! this is helpful and concise!
You're welcome!
Thank you
Thanks for the review! I noticed the grill grates oriented with the flat side up? Seems like it makes since and provides more flat surface area. I'm starting to think I may have installed our grates upside down. The only issue so far I have with our E210 and trying to hold a low temp. I just started smoking meats in it by using one burner on low with a smoke tube and its a challenge to hold 225 - 230 degF. The grill wants to run away with the temp. Any experience with holding low temps on your E210?
Yes, the grill grates are supposed to be flat side up. They could be installed either way but the correct orientation is flat side up. I have never tried to hold a low temperature but I do use indirect cooking quite often. Maybe you could try adjusting the air/gas mix to give you a less efficient flame thus reducing the heat output. Not sure.

Its a gas grill not a bar b q pit.. Slow meat has to smoke and go slow in a charcoal pit.. Totally different application
Thanks for the review. Just bought one yesterday. Got a great deal at my local Home Depot. It was on special for $360 marked down from normal price of $599.
Enjoy it. Wow what a great price.
Michael, great video. I have recently purchased this model and have used it once with nice results. I have a Chefmate grill thermometer given to me as a gift, but the usage instructions are very vague. Do you know where I might look to get further instructions on how to use it? Thank you.
You can find the user guide on the Weber web site.
Hello. I want to by a gas barbecue first time and this Weber is my favorite one. Stand the barbecue the whole year outdoor? And did you let the gas bottle inside over winter? My wife is a little bit afraid by the question where we should keeping the bottle. Sorry for my englisch ;)
boohousen I leave my grill outside, covered, all year long. Some people choose not to do that and will store in the garage or shed. Where I live I do not have severe winters. However there is nothing wrong with leaving the LP tank inside the grill during the winter. Just be sure to turn the valve off when you are not using the grill.
Thanks for the review. Im looking for a gas grill. I am between buying the 2 burner and 3 burner.
If I had to do it all over again, I"d probably choose the 3-burner. I enjoy the 2-burner but there are times when I wish it had a bit more BTU's.
@@michaelerbreviews
I will take your advise and go for the 3 burner. Thank you!
I got the 2 burner for the folding tables. The 3 burner doesn't offer both folding. I believe only 1 folds down.
I’m looking into it, cooking for a small family. Just us 2 til the baby grows. 3 is better even still?
@@alvarodmg how did it go? Im am still debating between the 3 burner
Great follow up to the first review. Thanks. What brand grill cover do you have?
jan pomi The cover I currently have is terrible. I’d suggest the Weber cover or something of similar quality. Most of the covers on Amazon, for instance, are garbage imported stuff.
Thanks! I'm glad I asked since I was looking at Amazon and most covers seemed to be too good to be true.
jan pomi yup. Most of them are actually private labeled and multiple sellers sell the same crap. The cover you see in my video started fading and the seams started disintegrating within weeks. Purchased from Amazon. Caveat emptor.
I have the Weber cover. It's pretty good but it'll catch rain water and sag between the handle and front of the grill, and that can freeze.
Armorall covers are decent. I have one on my Charbroil (which I'm about to throw out). I got a Weber for the new grill.
Looks like the hood was higher on (your) the older model. Great video!
Hey, great review, I just bought one of these and I have one question: do you take out the LP tank when you grill? or do you just leave it there, at the weber store here in Chile they said that I have to take the tank out when I use the grill and I just don't see why. Thanks!
I never take the tank out and have never heard of that as necessary. In any case, I converted mine to Natural Gas so the tank is not even present for me.
@@michaelerbreviews Just curious, did you end up getting higher temperatures with the conversion?
natural gas runs a little cooler than propane@@jenereaux
Hello Michael, if you like a hot temperature, the 3 burner wont hit 700+ degrees, i suggest looking at the everdure force, i goes up to 800+
Thanks for the suggestion.
@@michaelerbreviews yes it is currently 619 on amazon. Its either that or the weber genesis II which is 1000+ for restaurant quality searing. Good luck i subbed
Thanks for the review! What brand grill
Cover did you buy?
Joseph Narus I can't recall but you don't want it. It's terrible.
@@michaelerbreviews hahahah thanks for the honesty! lol I guess i will get the weber brand one? or just get a new cheap one every year at ocean state
Joseph Narus I looked it up. It is a VictSing 30" Grill Cover. I gave it a 1-star Video review on Amazon. czcams.com/video/2SSY0aW61N4/video.html
Hey hi i have one question would you say its better to have three burner for undirect cooking or is it the same with two?
That's a good question and since I don't have a three burner, I'm not sure I'm the best person to answer the question. I guess it depends on how full the grill is with whatever it is that you want to indirectly heat. If more than half, then probably the 2-burner would be the way to go.
Do you have any suggestions on how to fix anon-lighting second burner bar? My grill Is always covered and is only outdoors for 4-5 months a year. I have tried to clean vents with a clean wire brush but second burner bar still does not light. Do I need to replace the burner bars and crossover tube? I cannot unscrew the burner bars to remove them as directed die to rust and corrosion. (even after using a drop of liquid wrench) Any ideas? Thanks. Jan
It sounds to me like you’ve tried just about everything I would suggest. Maybe you could try contacting Weber directly from their website and see if they’ve got further ideas. I imagine they have pretty good support.
So I just purchased. The hole for placement of the tank is so big my tank goes right through and sits on the floor? Seems odd. Defeats purpose of wheel. Not even sure how to use the scale as I don’t want the weight of the tank pulling on structure. IT m a little confused
Did you read the user guide? You don’t sit the tank on the hole. You hang the tank. weber.mizecx.com/retrieve/s3/knowledge/WEBER_OG/48615/48615.pdf?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20240331T212847Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=3600&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAUA2JDF35UBA4BTP5%2F20240331%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=38a8dd32b4d64064a6f09bbdbb018634275d45e2d023c1ebe02045d85b7a0270
What grill cover do you use? I just ordered this grill and all I can find is the one for when the shelves are out I want one like yours for covering with shelves down
This should do the trick for you www.amazon.com/Weber-7105-Cover-Spirit-Grills/dp/B00MBVD97W
Question. I just bought this grill and I can't get the temperature past 300. Is there something wrong with the grill?
Don Snider There might be something wrong with your grill because my grill is easily able to get up to 500°. Something to make sure of is to ensure that before you turn your LP tank on that you make sure that both your knobs for the grill burners are turned off. If you do not do that, then the grill goes into a safety mode and severely restricts the amount of gas coming out of the burners.
I found the solution. Turns out that if you turn the tank valve on too quickly, it triggers a safety mechanism in the gas flow regulator that results in low gas flow and therefore low heat. The solution is to turn the gas valve on very slowly for the first quarter turn. This pressurizes the gas regulator slowly. Here's how to reset the gas regulator. Turn the knobs on the grill to the off position then turn the gas valve on the tank off. Next, disconnect the line from the tank to the grill. Wait for about a minute for the regulator to reset. Reconnect but turn the gas on very slowly. It is an easy fix for the low temperature problem.
Don Snider That’s basically what I was trying to explain. Glad you figured it out.
Here is the CZcams video that I found on fixing low grill temperature. czcams.com/video/2Zyapk8Lh_A/video.html
How does the chain hook up inside
The chain has a clip on it, which is attached to the platform for the drip tray.
How are these with grillgrates?
I've never used a grill grate with my Weber. Maybe someone else will chime in.
What am I missing ? Just saw your grill you bought was a Kitchenaid now you have a Weber? Why the switch
Kitchenaid was very disappointing in just about every way. Weber far superior quality.
kitchen aid is made in china so it won't last buy something made in USA or Canada will last a lot longer and work better. Always check where they are made. Cost a bit more but last longer so worth the price. Made in china last maybe 2 to 5 years made in USA or Canada more than 15 years. Your choice
Are your grates upside down? If not, I've been doing it the wrong way all these years!!
The flat part is up, that's the correct orientation.
@@michaelerbreviews 25 years I've been doing it wrong, lol. Thanks!
@@mattc825 join the crowd. I had mine pointy side up too for quite a while.
@@michaelerbreviews The grills are reversible,,,angled side is for searing steaks
What cover is that?
I don't recall and even if I could recall, you don't want it. Worst cover ever. The seams literally turned to dust, it leaked and faded badly.
Ok. Thanks for the reply.
If you flip your grates over steaks will sear...
Why do you say that? Having the flat side up is the recommended position because it exposes a wider hot surface to gain a sear.
Because it gets a wider surface closer to the heat and concentrates more heat transfer in a smaller area. Flat side up is better for keeping smaller pieces like bacon from falling through.
I don’t buy that argument. 1/4” closer to the heat source isn’t going to make any difference. And even if it did, having the wide surface up would create a wider channel at the bottom of the grate to capture and focus the heat towards the meat. The real problem is the lack of BTU’s. 600 degrees simply isn’t hot enough and can’t achieve the same kind of sear a hot cast iron Pan on a stove can achieve.
@@michaelerbreviews Johns right,,,,The grates are purposely made reversible ...The angled side is for searing steaks
@@tjm3155 the grates could be installed either way but I've not seen anything indicating that the angled side is specifically for searing and Weber shows the grill with the grates flat side up. It seems more likely that the wide side would have more heat since the surface area is greater and would be absorbing the rising heat more completely. In any case you really need at least 700 degrees to get the kind of sear I want and this grill can't attain that.
Just bought the newer version of this for $100 at walmart (clearance).
wow, that's an amazing deal.
Don't lie
hm...no.
@@DS-me7kk I bought 3 actually and resold two of them. Its what I did on the side, buy and resell clearance items (but needed a grill so I kept one)
@@ammerudgrenda hm...yes.
You don't need over 500 degrees for a sear lmao.
According to Weber: "Second, while the temperature inside your grill can be anywhere from 300°F to 500°F while you’re searing your steak, the cooking grates themselves must be at least 500°F to 550°F to create sear marks."
