Weber Lumin Electric Grill

Weber's full-size electric: 1,560 W on a standard 120 V outlet, 242 sq in of porcelain cast-iron grate, and a published max over 600°F — high enough to actually sear, which is what separates it from the low-watt electrics it competes with. A reservoir under the grate lets it add wood smoke, steam or boil, so it does more than one thing. This is Weber's answer for people who cannot use fire where they live.

Features

Searing

Pros

  • ✓Over 600°F is genuinely rare for a 120 V grill and is the difference between searing and steaming a steak
  • ✓Smoke reservoir adds real wood smoke, which no other mainstream electric grill in this class does
  • ✓Plugs into an ordinary household outlet on a 6-foot cord — no propane storage, no tank swaps
  • ✓Porcelain-enameled cast iron grates carry a five-year warranty, the same as Weber's gas line

Cons

  • ✗$499 buys a far larger gas grill if fire is permitted where you live
  • ✗242 sq in is a two-to-three person grate
  • ✗1,560 W draws 13 amps, which will trip a circuit shared with other appliances
  • ✗Cord length dictates placement, and outdoor outlets are not universal on balconies

Weber Lumin Compact Electric Grill
~$399
Electric Grill

The smaller Lumin: same 1,560 W element and same 600°F+ ceiling, but 180 sq in instead of 242 and 26 lbs instead of 36.5. It keeps the sear, smoke, steam and boil modes and ships with the steam and smoking reservoir. The trade is purely grate area and footprint — nothing is given up on heat.

Weber Master-Touch 26
~$499
Charcoal Grill

The 26-inch Master-Touch is the largest kettle Weber makes below the Ranch, with a 508 sq in primary grate plus an 80 sq in warming rack. It carries the Master-Touch package — hinged stainless grate, Char-Rails, lid thermometer and Tuck-Away lid holder — on a bowl four inches wider than the 22-inch Master-Touch already in the catalog. Weber no longer lists a plain 26-inch Original Kettle, so this is the only way to buy the 26-inch bowl new.

Best for: The kettle cook who has outgrown a 22 and wants a whole turkey or a full rack of chicken without a second grill

The top of Weber's non-smart Spirit line and the model directly above the Spirit E-310 already in this catalog. It adds a Sear Zone — two Boost Burners that concentrate roughly 40% more power over one section of the grate — plus 360 sq in of primary grilling space against the E-310's 424 sq in total. Priced as the LP version in black; natural gas runs $549.

Pellet Grill

The Weber SmokeFire EX6 is Weber's WiFi pellet grill, notable for reaching 600°F to sear and using a steep-walled firebox for direct grilling. The 2nd-gen revision fixed many early reliability issues. Note: this model is no longer sold new as of 2026. Its current equivalent is the Weber Searwood XL 600.

Weber Performer 22
~$449
Charcoal Grill

Weber redesigned the Performer for 2026: it is a 22-inch kettle bowl mounted on a wheeled cart with a fixed side table, a bottom storage shelf and the Weber Works side rail for snap-on accessories. The grate, at 363 sq in, is identical to the Original Kettle 22 — what the money buys is the cart, the hinged grate, the lid thermometer and the improved ash catcher. It sits above the 22-inch Master-Touch and below the Smart version, which adds a Wi-Fi airflow controller.
