The Weber Spirit II E-310 is a three-burner propane gas grill built around Weber's GS4 system — Infinity electronic ignition, stainless steel burners, flavorizer bars, and porcelain-enameled cast-iron grates. At $649 CAD on Amazon.ca, it sits at the upper end of the mid-range gas grill category but backs up its price with a 10-year burner warranty and a reputation for outlasting nearly everything in its class.

"It's probably the most well-built piece of outdoor equipment I own — zero issues after four years, still lights first try every time, and the cast-iron grates look better than my neighbours' year-old cheap grills."

"Assembly took my wife and me about 75 minutes with the Bilt app — instructions were genuinely clear. First cook the next day and the burgers were the best I've made at home."

"Compared to my old Broil King the heat is more even and the ignition never fails. I do miss having a side burner for corn on the cob but it wasn't a deal-breaker."

Grease tray flare-ups if not cleaned after every cook
The flavorizer bar and grease tray system works well, but fatty cooks (chicken thighs, burgers) leave grease buildup that ignites into flare-ups on the next use if the tray isn't cleaned. This surprises buyers expecting a maintenance-free experience.

Multiple owners report a noticeable temperature differential across the three burners, particularly at lower heat settings. The outer burners don't quite match the center, making even cooking across the full grate harder than expected.

The push-button igniter is a common long-term complaint. After 1–2 seasons, some owners report needing multiple clicks or reverting to a lighter. Weber's customer service is generally responsive, but it's a recurring theme on r/grilling.
Source: r/grilling, r/BBQThe Weber Spirit II E-310 is the benchmark mid-range gas grill — not the flashiest or cheapest option, but the one most likely to still be running a decade from now. It earns its price through consistently even heat, a reliable ignition system, flavorizer bars that actually improve flavor, and Weber's 10-year burner warranty. Canadian buyers who want a reliable gas grill for regular family use and don't need a side burner will be very happy with this purchase.
