Weber Spirit II E-320 LPG

Upgraded from a Weber Q to this model more like a downgrade from the beginning assembling it I found parts not marrying up and very primitive alignment where joins needed to be forced. Then first use starter issues, Weber were good to post new starter unit without question possibly they knew this to be a design fault. On this subject the gas bottle sits on the axle so you can never get a proper reading of how much gas is left on the weigh scale. Weber has obviously done a lot of cost cutting as they have discontinued the grill thermometer. The most annoying thing are the wheels after moving it one metre the split pin falls of as does the plastic wheel cover, I took to it with a hammer tonight. As for heat do not cook on two burners you will have uncooked meats and uneven cooking you have to use all three burners even for small quantities. Overall this is the Jeep of BBQs you are buying a name no longer synonymous with quality. The model is built in China which might explain poor quality control.

Grills very well, grates clean easy, but cleaning the firebox takes forever – Great bbq, food comes out great, grates are easy to clean, firebox which is Aluminium is difficult to clean, the advice to just scrape it, does not result in a clean inside... Used the expensive spray that they provide, but does not get rid of burnt on fat, nearly used half a bottle spraying, waiting, wiping, have used it only 2 times so far, maybe one cannot get it totally clean... Ps, takes a full dsy to assemble...
