Weber E320 Spirit Classic
With a modern stylish design and many handy features, the Spirit Classic is a perfect family barbecue ideal for both beginners and those who enjoy straight-forward no-nonsense gas barbecuing with minimal set-up.
Just because Weber describe it as ‘entry-level’ doesn’t mean that the build or functionality of the Weber Spirit Classic E-320 is compromised in any way and the independent control of the burners make it very suitable for cooking using both the direct and indirect grilling methods.
Built onto a powder-coated steel frame with a removable kettle branded screen slotted on the front, the Weber Spirit E-320 looks slick with its gunmetal grey, black and silver colour scheme and stands at a height (from the ground) of 115cm with the lid closed and 160cm with the lid fully raised.
A handy side burner distinguishes the E320 from the E310 Classic, giving you an extra burner to cook your sauces or gravy on while your other food is cooked. When not in use, close the lid and you have another side table to use. Both side tables are sturdy and fixed and house the convenient tool holders (six in total) at the end of both.
The hinged shroud of the Weber Spirit Classic E-320 incorporates a centre mounted thermometer and lifting it using the full-width solid handle will not only reveal a warming rack (supplied), slots for adding a rotisserie (sold separately) but also one of the most significant differences between this model and the Spirit Original E-310; the cooking surface. The Weber E320 Spirit Classic comes with a pair of 30.5 x 45cm porcelain-enamelled steel cooking grates, which, despite being lighter than the cast iron grates found on the Original E-310, still offer the same generous 2735cm² cooking area but are more economical and easier to clean.
Having a larger cooking area also means that unlike the Spirit Classic E-220, the Weber E320 Classic is fully compatible with the Weber Gourmet BBQ System grate and accessories (all sold separately) to allow you more flexibility and give you more options when cooking.
Positioned underneath the grates are five removable porcelain-enamelled Flavorizer bars which not only protect the three stainless steel burners concealed underneath but also produce flavoured smoke as the fat and juices secreted from the cooking food drip onto the hot bars.
The uncomplicated panel at the front of the barbecue houses the infinite control burner valve dials which independently operate all three burners to allow greater precision with cooking as well as the Crossover Ignition System button which fires up the gas burners.
Using the Weber Spirit Classic E-320 couldn’t be easier either. Unhook the screen at the front to reveal the gas regulator, connect the gas bottle* (see below), rotate the burner valve(s) as required, hit the ignition button and with the lid closed wait 10-15 minutes for the temperature to get up and then you’re good to cook.
Also hiding behind the kettle-branded screen in the top left of the cavity area is a disposable drip tray (one supplied) to collect the waste material generated during cooking and a long thin chain with a match holder at the end to relight the pilot light should for any reason, the ignition system fail.
At the base of the Weber E320 Classic are two swivel and two locking castors for ease of transportation.
Like most Weber gas barbecues, the Weber Spirit E-320 Classic comes with a 10-year limited warranty on the porcelain-enamelled lid and cast aluminium components, 10 years on the burners and two years on all other parts to give you full confidence in your Weber product as you cook up a treat for your friends and family.
As you would expect from a quality brand like Weber there are a huge range of accessories designed to assist and take your outdoor cooking to the next level from griddles, fish baskets and tools right through to cook books and marinades, so click here to see the full range of Weber gas accessories we have to offer.
The cover that fits the Weber Spirit Classic E320 perfectly is the Weber Spirit 300 Series Premium Cover (7101).
(*The regulator is designed to be used with 5kg or 13kg bottles of Patio Gas, unavailable from Riverside Garden Centre but sold through local Calor Gas dealers. 5kg bottles can be stored and used within the barbecue area behind the screen, but for the larger, heavier 13kg bottles the regulator needs to be fed out through the circular opening in the right side panel and set up underneath the right-hand side table.)
