Weber® Spirit® E-325 Gas Grill, Outdoor Cooking, Small Propane Grill, Black

I chose this grill over similar priced products from Monument and Charbroil. And I am glad I did. There were several factors that led to my decision. 1. Performance a. There is much less variation in temperature across the grill at all temperature levels – you are not battling hot spots. b. The grill can cook at a significantly lower temperature c. The sear zone occupies half the grill. And you can use that area for normal grilling when not searing. 2. Clean-up a. The grill has a pull-out drip pan which speeds up the process significantly 3. This is the only one that will likely last past 10 years. And it is also the only one where all the major parts of warrantied for a decade. a. The Monument grills have very thin metal. You can flex the metal on the top of the grill with a single finger. 4. The grill size fits my needs. I opted to assemble the grill myself. It was remarkably easy to do. I cannot recall ever having an easier time assembling something. This is a credit to the folks at Weber who did a fantastic job illustrating the steps and bundling the fasteners. You can tell they though this process through and tested it. It took me about 20 minutes to unpackage everything (which I did first). The packaging itself was excellent. It did an awesome job protecting the grill while still being both compact and efficient. It is really easy to breakdown the boxing materials for recycling. Cleanup from unboxing and assembly was maybe 10 minutes. It took me about 1 hour to assemble the grill. I assemble the stand on my kitchen table and the rest of it on the floor beside the table. If I had a better work area available, I might have been able to do it a little faster. I found that I only needed a Philips head screwdriver for everything expect 4th bolt for each side table – for that I needed the included Allen wrench. The first thing I cooked was a set of ribeye’s. I used the sear zone to create the crosshatch pattern and finished the steaks at medium heat. It took roughly 8 minutes total to get the 1.5-inch steaks to about 130 degrees (I have a meat thermometer). They came out perfect. This was easy. But what made it easy was that the grill was predictable at every point. You can spend more and get better grills with more features, but at the $499 price, this is about as good as one could hope for. Everything about this experience worked as smoothly as it could. This is five GOLD stars. There were a few other things I acquired to support my new grill that are worth your consideration. • A grill light. It was dark out when I grilled and having a light shine directly on the grill made everything easy to see. • Weber Grill tools. These tools are well designed and have the correct hooks to work effectively with the tool hooks on the grill. • Grill gloves with extra-long mitts. o They are really helpful when cleaning the grill plates or reaching towards the back of the grill o It is kind of like a luxury-safety purchase. I never used them before, but I sure feel safer having some added protection for tasks where I need to reach over the flame. A few additional thoughts and comments • The sear zone works very well. If you set all the burners to high and close the lid, the grill will heat up to almost 600 degrees. When you enable the sear zone on the two burners (and close the lid), the overall temperature on the gauge goes to about 800 degrees (the zone itself is probably a little hotter because only 2 of the 3 burners are used for the zone). o This is really helpful for steaks and chops where a good sear is beneficial. If you do not cook these types of things often, you can save some money by purchasing the next model down without the sear zone. • This is new 2025 model (updated design). Not everything from prior 300 series will work with this grill. It is possible that Weber could expand its accessories and options for this model in the future. • The wheels are made of plastic. They work fine. o If you think you will need to move this grill a lot or on different terrains, you may need to consider a different grill or possibility an alternative wheel set (I am not sure if anyone makes alternative wheels yet for the 2025 model line). • You may need a bigger sized grill if you plan to cook for a lot of people. • If you read the reviews for Weber grills, you will notice a lot of people commenting about how this model is not as robust as the models of 10 and 20 years ago. o The older models have more metal parts (less plastic) and use thicker metal, but it is worth noting that they were also more expensive when inflation is considered. o The fact that this grill cooks rather evenly suggests that the cook box is the appropriate thickness. Making a grill thicker than it needs to be does not necessarily improve performance or durability.  If the grill is too thin, it will perform poorly o Larger grills and hotter grills benefit from more thickness (to help them cook evenly).

This purchase was a replacement for our very old 2 burner Weber Spirit - lasted over 15 years... Assembly was straight forward - no issues. The E-325 has a similar footprint to the E-210, but the E -325 is clearly heavier. - Better built IMHO. The 3 burner version gets very hot very fast. Excellent searing. Far superior to the E-210. Cooks faster at high heat which allows for large quantities of BBQ to be cooked in a pinch- no need for a large grill. Well worth the extra money.

For a compact 3-burner, this thing rocks. Grill grates (17.5" long) become non-stick after a few fatty meals and the grease management system is the best I've seen. The build quality is very good for the price and a 10-year warranty is great. The sear zone is very hot for a propane grill and you need good tank pressure. I've made a very decent steak with this thing but don't expect a true crust on it. This grill is best for shrimp, pork, chicken, sausages, etc.. The warming rack is functional but pretty easy to knock over. Lighting the grill has a slight technique and it works well. Downsides include limited options for a legit flat iron griddle insert and the wheels cannot be installed on the other side.

Cooks great. Sear zones do the job nicely!

Excellent, smaller grill… perfect for a couple or small family, and small gatherings. I’ve been eyeing this grill and when a Father’s Day promotion came along, I jumped on it because it made the grill such a great value. I have owned a number of Weber grills over the years and they are all durable, well built, and easy to get replacement parts. Generally, I get 10 + years of service from Weber grills. This grill is a replacement for another brand that only lasted about five years. Assembly took just over an hour and I needed help at one stage, but it was pretty straightforward and the instructions were clear.The sear zone is a nice addition to the grill enabling you to get higher heat and a good sear on steaks and burgers. It is an attractive grill with two shelves for utensils, etc., and a cabinet for the tank.

Quality product and well packaged. Assembly is straight forward but takes a few hours.

Product was delivered with manufactured defects and cannot be assembled and to replace the parts would be almost 3 months out. Unacceptable. Now I have a grill that I cannot use and set up for the weekend big letdown they offered me first a grill cover. Then they offered me a rotisserie instead. Which is no use to me being the grill is unable to be assembled and had obvious manufactured defects and morphed as in bent steel panels, obviously during the manufacturing process. Very disappointed what a waste of time now they want me to send it back, which is not easy because if you’re aware, the first directions in the box, tell you to cut the box open, therefore to repackage this would take an army and how am I going to? I hope I get a full refund which they should give me because this is very annoying and I never should’ve purchased it. Sorry that’s my review not very good customer service from the actual Weber facility. I am so shocked.

Easy assembly with decent instructions and no missing parts. (Extra parts included) Heats quickly and evenly. The seer feature is a good addition.

el mejor asador sin carbón distribuye de manera excelente el calor y tiene 3 mandos para controlar por zonas

It's a Weber! You can't go wrong. Easy to assemble following instructions and is very solid. Cooked burgers as first try and they came out excellent. I am very happy with this purchase and recommend it to anybody who's fed up with having to replace an old rusty bbq every 4 or 5 years. My friend has had his Weber for over thirty years and he's still very pleased with it.

Demasiado complicado y pesado para armarlo por una sola persona. Lo dejé almacenado para terminar de armarlo cuando tenga a alguien quien me ayude.

After going with cheaper grills which fell apart after a few years we spent a bit more and bought this Weber last year. We use it very often rear round and it stands up to constant use. Temperature is consistently even over full surface area. It is not large but can fit 9 buger patties. Good buy.

Wow
