Best Outdoor Grills 2012

This Weber Spirit is just right for a family barbecue. Although it appears lightweight and doesn't take up too much room, it is not a cheap, light barbecue that blows over in a strong summer storm. The Spirit has an aesthetically pleasing modern design, incorporating stainless steel, black, and porcelain enamel. The grill is mostly black, with a stainless steel cooking area crossing it to form the shape of a "t". The overall effect is quite modern and dramatic. The size of the grill easily accommodates all the necessary ingredients for a family meal, and it easily and quickly heats up to 600 degrees. A built-in thermometer helps with even, thorough and safe cooking, especially of meats. This barbeque is easy to put together, with clear, concise instructions. It is also easy to clean after your meal is over!
