The Spirit E-310 is Weber's three-burner gas barbecue for families who grill often and want enough room to cook several dishes side by side. It is the classic step up from a compact Q model. Its distinguishing features are the Flavorizer bars above the burners, which Weber says improve taste and cut flare-ups, and a 2,326 cm² cooking surface.

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.
Our take
What the listing covers
The bullet points are short. They mention a large cooking surface, Flavorizer bars, a built-in thermometer, an open cart design with utensil hooks and a removable grease tray. The specifications add three burners, a 48 kg weight and a footprint of about 83 x 66 x 53.5 cm, though that last figure may describe the packaging rather than the assembled grill.
Weber does not give a total output in kW in this listing, which makes direct comparison with rivals like the Napoleon Freestyle 4 harder.
Three burners and heat zones
Three separately controlled burners let you set up zones: one side high for searing, the other low or off for gentler cooking or keeping food warm. That flexibility is the main reason to choose three burners over two. The Flavorizer bars catch drips, vaporise them into smoky flavour and shield the burners from fat, which helps limit flare-ups.
Cleaning, assembly and spares
Fat that gets past the bars runs into a removable grease tray. The open cart has no enclosed cupboard, so the gas bottle sits visibly underneath. Assembly is required.
Weber lists a ten-year availability period for EU spare parts, a strong commitment for a grill you will likely keep for many seasons. Burners, bars and grates are the parts that wear on any gas barbecue, so a long parts window is worth more than it first appears.
Spirit E-310 against the four-burner options
The Weber Spirit E-425 Mix Griddle adds a fourth burner, a griddle and an enclosed cabinet, with 8.2 kW stated and a 57 kg weight. The Weber Genesis E-415 moves up to four PUREBLU burners and 14 kW. The Napoleon Freestyle 4 offers four burners, 13.6 kW and a 60 x 45 cm enamelled cast iron grill.
Verdict
The Spirit E-310 is a sound choice for a family of four to six who want three-zone cooking and Weber's long parts support. If you want a griddle and enclosed storage, the Spirit E-425 Mix Griddle is the next step, and those who entertain large groups should look at the Weber Genesis E-415.
