The best Weber BBQ for your grilling needs in 2024

The Weber Spirit II E-210 offers a compact design compared to other quality BBQs, featuring an open cart for accessory storage and integrated hooks on one side table for your tools. Additionally, one side table folds down to save space. Ideal for smaller outdoor areas, it's a great choice if space is limited.

Our tester thought it was easy to use, even as a complete newcomer to BBQing. On building it, our tester said: "You will need to carve some time out to actually put the BBQ together. The build took me and my family friend around two hours and I felt like the majority of that time was spent putting the base and wheels together rather than the cooking part of the BBQ."

Rosie says: "Once you’ve figured out the setting the burners need to be on, the barbecue does all the hard work for you and you can keep an eye on the temperature without even opening the lid so it takes the worry out of making sure your food is cooking how it’s supposed to. The warming rack is also a welcome addition if you’re cooking for multiple people as you can keep everything nice and hot while waiting for everything else to cook to perfection."

The Original Kettle from Weber remains faithful to its iconic design while incorporating modern enhancements for the best barbecue experience.

A favourite on Amazon with over 7,800 reviews, this Weber BBQ may have compact in the name, but it still offers plenty of grilling space. One reviewer mentioned it had enough room to cater for six-eight adults, while another commented they were able to cook 16 sausages and 8 quarter-pounder burgers at once. Even with all of that cooking area, it won't take up a lot of room if you're limited on outdoor space and need to store it away when you're not using it.

As is expected with Weber, this is a robust piece of kit and its compact size makes it portable, so it's a great choice for camping trips. A customer does point out that the height of the grill to the coals isn't adjustable, so be prepared for some initial trial and error to achieve perfect chargrilled results.

Easy to use and clean, you can't go wrong with this Weber gas BBQ.

Just find your nearest plug socket, and you're good to go.

Our tester was new to barbecuing and was delighted to be able to cook for family and friends on the Weber Lumin. Hannah was pleased to find the power cable was long enough to reach an indoor socket. Also, the temperature control of the Lumin was excellent. She was able to thoroughly cook meat and achieve authentic sear marks. However, whilst the BBQ itself has superb build quality, Hannah felt the stand was not as robust. All-in-all, she recommends the Lumin as a great "beginner-proof" BBQ.

Weber's Connect app and probe monitors the temperature of the BBQ and food.

This model requires mains electricity, so be sure to factor in access to a plug socket. Our tester commented that it utilises a fan to assist in cooking and cool-down. He said this makes barbecuing unusually noisy, as it's not a feature that's associated with BBQs.

There's enough grilling area to cater for up to ten hungry people. You can utilise the racks for both direct and indirect grilling. Our tester praises the Weber SmokeFire's versatility, albeit he felt the fan was a bit noisy and he would have liked an extra storage shelf.
