The Spirit E-425 has been fantastic — heats up quickly, holds steady temps, and delivers an even cook whether I’m making burgers, hot dogs, chicken, or corn on the cob for the kids. The four burners give me the flexibility to manage different heat zones at once, and cleanup is simple. It’s become the centerpiece of our family dinners and weekend barbecues.
This is the third Weber I have owned. Weber consistently delivers premium quality. This is the first natural gas Weber I have owned. I love the fact that I can use it and not run out of gas while cooking.
First of all, I love grilling on a Weber grill! Been using them for years, and if you take good care of them they last forever. My WEBER Grill rocks! Not too impressed with the new (safety?) features to start this new one though. How many different instructions and steps does it take to start a gas grill? Would really like to know if I could find out about a shortcut for starting....(I'm familiar with gas grills and fire....I think some of us could still figure out how to turn the gas on and light the grill without blowing ourselves up!)
First grill was returned because 1. the burners wouldn't stay lit and 2. there was no match lighter only a 2 inch chain. Second grill was good for about 2 weeks. Now the sear does not heat up to a high heat. The grill reflects it can go up to 700 degrees but it doesn't. It made it to 600 tops. 3. The match light is attached to the wrong side of the grill.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Your feedback is invaluable to us. We're sorry to hear the grill is not heating up as it should, and that the match light is improperly placed on the grill. We want to make this right for you. Please look for an outreach email from our Care Team soon. Thank you!
This unit replaced a 23 year old Genesis and it works as advertised. Grill is connected to underground propane tank. Our favorite use is making pizza for grandchildren using a pizza stone and high heat. Have also done wings and pork chops. Also cooked bacon and an omelette using a flat top accessory.
Great grill but I can’t get temperature down under 450 degrees

Thank you for choosing a Weber gril! We appreciate your feedback and we understand your frustration. New grills are more reflective inside and tend to run hotter. However, by reducing the number of burners in use, you should be able to achieve low and medium temperatures on your grill.
