Weber Spirit E-210 Propane Gas Grill Review
The Weber Spirit E-210 is another grill created by Weber suitable for grill enthusiasts who are on a tight budget, the Spirit E-210 may not come with a side burner or rotisserie but it’s still more than sufficient for grilling a meal for the family.
There are two stainless steel burners included with the grill that are found under its 350 square inch main cooking area, the E-210 clearly isn’t the largest of grills in the Weber range but you can still load it up with a fair amount of food, this version of the grill runs on liquid propane which gives it an extended cooking time but there is also a version that runs on natural gas.
A warming rack is also included with the E-210 that can be used for maintaining the temperature of your food or for warming up burger buns, while the grill runs on gas you can expect to see degree of smoke while you’re cooking and this give your food a more authentic taste.
As with many other Weber grills the Spirit series includes Flavorizer bars on its cooking surface, the Flavorizer bars burn up excess fat on your food and if you keep the lid closed the smoke produced infuses your food with extra flavor.
The E-210 has an electronic crossover ignition system and you have total control over the temperature of the burners, due to the burner controls you can use the grill to cook food with either direct or indirect heat making it ideal for slow cooking.
Directly opposite the grills burner controls is a stainless steel surface that you can make use of while preparing your food, the temperature gauge is situated in the center of the grills lid so you can easily determine how hot it’s running.
The grill also has tool hooks on the end of its work surface so you can keep spatulas and tongs handy while your cooking, cleaning the grill doesn’t take too much effort and since it runs on liquid propane rather than charcoal the job is even easier.
Excess waste filters down into the grills disposable drip pans so unless you have a major spillage a quick wipe down should be more than sufficient after you’ve finished cooking, you can move the E-210 around quite easily as it sits on four heavy duty casters and two of these are lockable so you can secure it in position.
At maximum the E-210 can produce up to 26,000 BTU’s per hour with the use of its main burners, the grill can also be used for spit roasting legs of lamb or chicken as it can accommodate a rotisserie.
The rotisserie for the Weber Spirit is motorized so once you have it set up you can leave it to turn your food on its own, all in all the E-210 is a well built piece of hardware; although it’s cheap in comparison to other grills in the Weber range you will likely be cooking on it for years to come.
