Product Description
The 2013 Spirit E-210 LP gas grill has been completely re-imagined, and the proof is visible in features throughout the grill. With the control panel moved to the front, two stainless steel tables fold down to allow for maneuverability and easy storage – a boon for grillers with small patios, decks or balconies. While compact, the grill is also roomy enough to cook a 20-pound turkey or roast meats and vegetables at the same time. Porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates offer superior heat retention and quick clean up, and the porcelain-enameled shroud will not fade, peel or rust. An Electronic Crossover ignition system lights the two burners with just one touch of the igniter button, and an easy-to-read fuel gauge lets you know where you stand on fuel at all times. Not available in natural gas.

Replacing my 9 year old Ducane, and couldn't be happier. She was one of the good ones, actually made in South Carolina, but this Weber has better temperature control and gets hot! Nice when you're grilling in winter!
Assembly was easy, the firebox and gas line assemble came pre-assembled; you just build the cart and attach the finishing components such as the ignitor, knob cover plate, side shelves and door. Took about an hour and 45 min. The instructions are clear and concise. Needed tools are a #2 Phillips screwdriver and a 7/16ths deep dish socket would be useful for the 8 nuts securing the side table brackets.
Deal maker for me was the heavy cast iron grates. These are exactly the same quality as the $699 E-310 Genesis, just smaller, and they leave great grill marks! (Please see picture).
Even though this grill has 2 burners it gets hot! Up to 550 degrees within 10 min on high. Turn down the temp and it dropped to 400 within a couple of minutes.
A nice feature is the propane tank gauge, which is spring mounted and based on full tank weighing 38 lb.'s. I could tell by feel that my tank was getting low when I picked it up, and the gauge confirmed my suspicion by letting me know that I'm down to a fifth of a tank just with a simple glance at the well-marked hanging scale indicator.
This is the 2013 model, with burner knobs moved to the front, providing more useful work space. If needed the side tables collapse, but still feel very secure and substantial when used in the upright position.
I'm very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this to a friend.

I actually purchased my E210 from a local retailer, but thought I would write a review for it here anyways.
Pro's
-----
* Gets up to 550 degrees in mid winter here in Utah
* Very sturdy construction, even the fold down shelves are very stable unlike most grills.
* Sides are basically closed with only a few small holes for rotisserie (had a bird build a nest in my last one so this was important for me, no where for them to get in now)
* Enclosed Propane area
* Propane tank meter (done by weight)
* Solid Iron Grills, good weight, good heat retention, great sear marks.
* Ignition system is great, battery powered, not one of those little push powered igniters that always break.
Con's
-----
* Cost, at $499 this was the most expensive BBQ I have purchased, and it seemed odd considering it didn't have many of the features that most others in that price range have.
* No Side Burner, but really who actually uses that thing anyways.
Personal Thoughts:
------------------
I was a little leery of getting what seemed like a feature lacking BBQ for basically a $500 price tag. But the more I thought about it the more I realized I really didn't want all of those extra little gadgets that I frankly never used. I wanted a well made, well thought out, but otherwise basic BBQ. Enter the E210, which fits the bill perfectly. It is a bit expensive compared to other BBQ's with the same basic features, but what you are paying for is a good design and good quality. I do not regret the purchase at all, it fits exactly what I needed it to. It hits higher temps than most cheap BBQ's, most likely due to the well thought out design with little room for air to escape the BBQ. I never use the bun warmers at all, so I simply removed that rack completely so I have full access to the main BBQ surface.
I love the construction, it is very stable and sturdy a significant improvement from all of the cheap BBQ's I have used in the past. I love the grates, they leave great sear marks and are easy to keep clean and are just a good quality heavy duty iron. I have used my BBQ almost every day since I purchased it several months ago from steaks to hamburgers and I have to say it is just about perfect. This BBQ is clearly superior in quality than any other BBQ in the price range and if you BBQ as often as I do it is well worth the investment. From quality knobs, to stable trays, to solid grills, to a great ignition system, from top to bottom this grill is well designed and well built. I would highly recommend it. If you really need the side burner there are other models that include it, but I can't think of a single time I have ever used the side burner.
Recommendation:
---------------
I would highly recommend the Webber BBQ light if you ever cook after dark and have not looked into it yet. I cook after dark fairly regularly and having the attached light makes an awesome grill even better. It simply attaches to the handle, so it lights up the Grill when you lift the lid to check on your food. Some people have complained about battery drainage, but I simply turn it on when I am BBQ'ing, then turn it off when finished and it works perfectly.

We moved into a new apartment where charcoal was not allowed, and we have a very small balcony, so I needed a compact gas grill. Despite the great reviews the Q-series grills have, I wanted a "full-size" design. Given very positive experiences with my Weber charcoal grills, I was hopeful I could make the transition to Weber Gas. I also looked at the similarly compact Napoleon grill (what Weber is to the US, Napoleon is to Canada) which gets great reviews, but it is more expensive. The Napoleon is also the top rated small grill in Consumer Reports, but CR has not reviewed this latest Weber offering yet.
For those of you looking to squeeze this into a tight space, as we were, the grill itself is 22" wide (straight across the top of the hood). The side tables (and base) each add 4" folded down, for a minimum width (with tables attached) of 30". You might be able to get down to 28" or so without the tables attached. The tables are 14.5" extended, for a maximum width of 51".
I have been very pleased with the performance of this grill so far. As others have noted the grill easily reaches about 550 degrees in about 10min (a little faster or slower depending on weather conditions), and the cast iron grates give a great sear. Flare-ups are a non-issue and the proven flavorizor system does a fine job of protecting the burners and turning drippings into flavorful smoke, seasoning your grill over time. I haven't tested the evenness of the heat yet, but it does appear to be fairly even on high and low settings. The features this grill has are minimal, but useful, especially coming from a much simpler charcoal grill - the warming rack and side tables are secure and a luxury to have, along with the propane tank scale (fits a standard 20lb tank). The wheels on the bottom are very sturdy and the construction is all metal and also plenty sturdy.
Notes on assembly: First, you gotta love getting free 2-day prime shipping for an item like this! Second, mine came with the updated hardware to attach the shelves. It was packed very well (this has been my experience with the Weber charcoal grills I purchased as well), and assembled easily in under an hour. Note that you will want to have two pairs of hands for assembly, the entire upper grill must be lifted up onto the frame and various wires/gas lines routed for one step. That would be tough without a little help, but it's a breeze if you have a partner to lend a hand.
