Pros & cons

Weber Spirit E-210

  • ✓Weber build quality and parts availability keep it running essentially forever
  • ✓Perfect footprint for small patios, decks, and townhomes
  • ✓Flavorizer bars minimize flare-ups and add real grilled flavor
  • ✓Snap-Jet individual burner ignition is fast and dependable
  • ✓Even heat across the 360 sq in primary grate
  • ✓Strong resale value - used Spirits sell for a premium
  • ✓10-year no-rust-through cookbox warranty
  • ✗26,600 BTU is modest - searing requires a long preheat
  • ✗Two burners make indirect-heat cooking cramped
  • ✗No side burner or sear station at this trim
  • ✗Costs about double a Char-Broil or Nexgrill of the same size

Dyna-Glo 4-Burner Open Cart Propane Gas Grill

  • ✓48,000 BTU over 461 sq in is a better heat density than most budget 5- and 6-burner grills
  • ✓Heavy-gauge cooking grates rather than thin wire
  • ✓Black-coated stainless holds up better against fingerprints and hard water than bare stainless
  • ✓Open cart keeps the price down and makes tank changes trivial
  • ✓Side burner included at a price where several rivals drop it
  • ✗Listed but SOLD OUT on GHP Group's own store when checked — Dyna-Glo sells almost entirely through Home Depot, Lowe's and Walmart, so verify stock before shipping this entry
  • ✗GHP publishes no assembled weight, dimensions or warranty term for this model
  • ✗Open cart leaves the propane tank exposed — no storage and a less finished look
  • ✗No sear zone, rotisserie, probe or smart features
