Summer is prime time for grilling. With summer vacations, long weekends, and sunny weather, taking to the grill can not only give you tasty meals, but also be the center of outdoor gatherings and entertainment.
Whether you’re just starting out or are an experienced griller, chances are you’ve heard of Weber. As one of the biggest names in the grilling industry, the brand has a number of highly coveted grills, from charcoal to gas. And if you’ve been waiting for a good time to buy the latter, now is the time to do it. Ahead of Amazon Prime Day — which starts on Tuesday, June 23 — Weber is slashing the prices of some of its popular gas grills. Before the four-day sales event kicks off, you can get up to $150 off, thanks to select early Prime Day deals.
Why Weber is a trusted brand
Weber first entered the grilling scene in the early ’50s when founder George Stephen crafted a dome-shaped grill from a metal buoy, now known as the iconic Weber Kettle Charcoal Grill. The brand successfully elevated the charcoal grilling experience, with a massive following for the Kettle alone. In fact, there’s even a Facebook group dedicated to the grill with over 322,000 members.
It may be best known for its charcoal grills, but it has expanded over the years to include gas grills, wood pellet grills, electric grills, and griddles. Weber grills are known for their durability, heat distribution, versatility, and value, with a range of options for both beginners and experienced grill masters. The brand also has a solid warranty and customer service, with select models having up to 15 years of coverage.

Some of Weber’s most popular gas grills are from the Weber Spirit Series, like the E-210 and E-325 that are currently on sale with early Prime Day deals. These grills are beginner-friendly, offering both a durable build and quality grilling with consistent heat, but with more affordable prices compared to other Weber lines. Weber Spirit grills are more compact, with two- and three-burner options available that work well on small to medium patios or backyards, or anyone who prefers a grill with a smaller footprint. They’re great for everyday meals, as they heat up within minutes and are easy to maintain, thanks to their Grease Management Systems that have removable trays for easier cleaning.
Both the two-burner E-210 and three-burner E-325 have durable cast-aluminum cook boxes and porcelain-enameled, cast-iron grates for solid heat retention. Along with 450 square inches of total cooking space, they offer a standard mid-size that can fit burgers, hot dogs, chicken, and more. They feature Snap-Jet Ignition that lights burners with ease using just one hand and Stainless Steel Flavorizer Bars that catch drippings, boost flavor, and prevent flare-ups. They also have built-in tool hooks for easy access to grilling accessories and compartments to hide away propane tanks. Plus, they each have a limited 10-year warranty. However, the E-325 has a Sear Zone with two Boost Burners that amp up the thermal power by 40% and more BTUs.
The convenience of a gas grill
Gas grills are some of the easiest options out there, making them great for both beginners and advanced grillers. For starters, they light up and heat up quickly, and you can control the temperature with ease. They’re also easy to clean and maintain, especially compared to charcoal grills. The convenience alone makes them a great choice for everyday grillers.
Liquid propane gas grills can have their downsides, though, particularly because of the propane tanks. With a propane tank, you not only run the risk of running out in the middle of cooking (though a backup tank can be helpful in preventing this), but also have to deal with the upkeep. Propane tanks need to be refilled or exchanged, which can cost you up to $4 per gallon and require heavy lifting to do so.
