2025 Spirit 310 – Review

No I did not grill in my house! It’s 20 degrees out so I put it together in my kitchen!

Okay – I had this 2025 shipped from Weber to Lowe’s and I picked it up to put together myself. Lowe’s nor Home Depot carry the 310 model in the store (just the 325 that has the searing station and foldable side tables) and I didn’t think the extra $50 was worth it.

Weber does an incredible job packaging the grill. It wasn’t too heavy, everything was organized and labeled accurately, and nothing was damaged.

The entire process took maybe two hours. The most time consuming aspect was unpacking and disposing of all the shipping materials prior to building.

Instructions were simple and provided great visuals. Only need one tool: a Philips head screwdriver. Very straight forward build.

Like prior generations of the Spirit, it’s a mixture of plastic and thin metal. The most robust part is obviously the firebox but the hood definitely has a heavier and more sturdy feel than prior generations. The stainless steel handle bar on the hood is 100x better than the plastic ones. The larger temp gauge face is a nice touch. Each burner has an ignitor and the absence of a separate ignitor button is nice. I like that they brought back the closed door design and hiding of the propane tank. I do wish, however, there were some built-in shelves or storage underneath – such a waste of hollow space.

Overall: the Spirit is an entry level model but the only model I've ever owned. I’ve cooked on the Summit and Genesis series and honestly, for the money, the Spirit series cooks just as well if not the same. At $450 I am pleased with the build quality and how easy it was to put together. Yes, these are not the Webers from the 80s or 90s, but we live in a global manufacturing market. It is what it is. If you are in the market to upgrade or wary of cost, this is a good starting point.

Can’t wait to get my first cook going. Thanks for looking.
