# Weber gas BBQs compared: Q, Traveler, Spirit and Genesis Source: https://charandsmoke.co.uk/best/weber-gas-bbqs-compared Publisher: Char and Smoke. Picks are based on what the Amazon listings state, not on hands-on testing. Method: https://charandsmoke.co.uk/how-we-pick Weber sells its gas barbecues in four main families, and choosing the series matters more than choosing the model inside it. The Q range uses one burner under a cast aluminium lid and suits balconies, small patios and caravans. The Traveler is a single-burner grill on a folding trolley for touring. Spirit is the mid-size cart range with two to four burners and Flavorizer bars, the usual pick for a family garden. Genesis is the larger, heavier range with more power, sear burners and closed cabinets. This guide sets six current and recent Weber gas grills side by side with the facts each listing gives: burners, stated power, cooking area and weight. Use it to pick the series first, then the size, and check Weber's own spec sheet for anything a listing leaves out. ## Products ### 1. WEBER Spirit E-310 Gas Barbecue Burners: 3; Stated power: Not stated; Cooking area: 2,326 cm²; Weight: 48 kg; Extras: Lid thermometer, utensil hooks, removable grease tray Weber's three-burner Spirit E-310 offers a 2,326 cm² cooking area, Flavorizer bars and a lid thermometer on a cart. A sensible all-rounder for a family garden that wants two heat zones. In its favour: - Three burners give enough width for a hot zone and a cooler indirect zone on the same cook. - Flavorizer bars sit over the burners to catch drips, which Weber says reduces flare-ups. - The listing gives a 10 year EU spare part availability period, useful for burners and bars later. Good to know: - The listing does not state a total power figure in kW, so you cannot compare output directly. - At 48 kg it is a cart grill to place once, not something to move around the garden often. ### 2. Weber Traveler Portable Gas Grill Weight: 21.1 kg; Power: 3.8 kW; Cooking area: 2,065 cm² (63 x 34 cm); Carrying: Foldable wheeled trolley; Size: 35 x 50 x 150 cm Weber's Traveler folds on a wheeled trolley and opens to a 63 x 34 cm cast iron grill with a 3.8 kW burner. It suits caravanners and families who want a full-size cook at the pitch. In its favour: - The largest cooking area of the portable grills here at 2,065 cm², enough for a family meal. - The wheeled trolley opens and folds in seconds, so it rolls rather than being carried. - Porcelain-enamelled cast iron grates and a lid thermometer, as on Weber's garden grills. Good to know: - At 21.1 kg it is heavy to lift into a car boot compared with the Q 1100N or Go-Anywhere. - The listing does not say which gas cartridge or bottle connection is supplied for the UK. ### 3. Weber Q 2200N – Gas Barbecue with Side Tables, Compact Stand, Enameled Iron Grills, Electronic Ignition, High Performance Burner, Midnight Black Burners: 1; Power: 4.1 kW; Cooking area: 57 x 41 cm; Footprint: 79 x 49 x 59 cm; Weight: 34 kg The Q 2200N pairs a 4.1 kW burner and a 57 x 41 cm grill with side tables and a compact stand. Weber says it fits up to 12 burgers, a good size for a family on a small patio. In its favour: - A 57 x 41 cm cooking surface holds up to 12 burgers, according to Weber. - The domed lid gives more room for a roast chicken or a small joint. - Side tables and a compact stand are included, so it is ready to use at a comfortable height. Good to know: - One burner means indirect cooking relies on trays and careful heat, not a cool second zone. - The listing gives a product footprint but no separate width with side tables folded. ### 4. WEBER Genesis E-415 Gas Barbecue Burners: 4 PUREBLU; Stated power: 14 kW; Cooking area: Not stated; Weight: Not stated; Extras: Enamelled cast iron grate, two-door cabinet, side shelves Weber's four-burner Genesis E-415 lists 14,000 W, an enamelled cast iron grate and a two-door storage cabinet. A premium choice for keen cooks who grill most weekends. In its favour: - Four burners with PUREBLU technology and 14 kW of stated power give wide, even heat zones. - The closed two-door cabinet hides the gas bottle and keeps accessories dry. - Fixed symmetrical side shelves give prep space on both sides of the grill. Good to know: - The listing does not give the cooking area or weight, so check Weber's spec sheet first. - It sits near the top of the Weber gas range and is more grill than many gardens need. ### 5. Weber Q 1200N Gas Barbecue with Side Tables & Stand Burners: 1; Power: 2.93 kW; Cooking area: 1,290 cm²; Footprint: 45.5 x 105 x 109 cm; Weight: 19 kg A Q 1200N on Weber's compact stand with side tables, a 2.93 kW burner and a 1,290 cm² grill for up to nine burgers. It suits couples and small families with a narrow patio. In its favour: - Only 45.5 cm deep on its stand, so it sits close to a wall or fence. - The redesigned high-dome lid has 46% more room underneath than earlier models, says Weber. - Front-facing knobs, electronic ignition and a lid thermometer are all named in the listing. Good to know: - A 1,290 cm² grill is tight when cooking for more than four people at once. - One 2.93 kW burner limits how much you can cook directly over heat at the same time. ### 6. WEBER Spirit EP-425 Mix Enamelled Grill Gas Barbecue Main burners: 4; Total power: 8.2 kW; Cooking area: 2,745 cm²; Extra burners: None listed, Boost Mode; Weight: 55.9 kg A four-burner Spirit with a 2,745 cm² cooking area, a mixed grill and griddle surface and Boost Mode. A good party grill for burgers on one side and eggs or fish on the other. In its favour: - A 2,745 cm² area across grill and griddle handles a crowd of burgers and sides together. - Two racks are listed, so there is space to keep cooked food warm above the grate. - The listing gives a 10 year EU spare part availability period. Good to know: - At 8.2 kW the stated power is lower than the other four-burner grills here. - The listing does not explain what Boost Mode does, so check Weber's description.
