Have used Weber charcoal grills since the early 80's. Great product. Was convinced that was the way I was going to go when we moved to a "new" house. Home had a 20+ year old NG grill that was leaning but still functional. Made a few meals on it and liked the convenience. My smarter half suggested that I look at a Weber NG grill. Did lots of research and the reviews were pretty good so I went for the Spirit II E-310. Have been using it about a month and really like it. Gets hot enough to sear and also to brown (~550F). Starts perfectly, heats quickly and the burners seem to be pretty even in their heat distribution. Got a Weber SS grill basket for vegetables which is really great. Highly recommend and certainly up to the Weber standards!
