Weber® released the exciting new Spirit II range earlier in 2018, needless to say, the new model has not disappointed. Now, for 2019, Weber® are giving the Spirit II range an intriguing new-year upgrade. If you, like us, have been loving the new Spirit range but feel as though there's something missing then your prayers have been answered! The release of the 320 model, available in both porcelain-enamel and stainless steel finishes, brings with it the much-awaited addition of a side burner!

Having a side burner on your barbecue may seem like an unnecessary faff, but any seasoned barbecuer can tell you that they're worth their weight in gold. Part of the sheer brilliance of barbecuing is that you can cook anything and everything in one place, however, for some preparation and side dishes you may find yourself strapped for space. Having the extra side burner on the barbecue will allow you to prepare an entire meal from the comfort of your garden - sides and all. It can be used to pre-boil vegetables before grilling, warm or even make sauces, boil potatoes and pasta for salads - and much more.

As well as the ever-handy side burner the Spirit® II 320 boasts all the quality and features you would expect from a Weber®. The barbecue comes with porcelain-enamelled cast-iron GBS® grates as standard, as well as a folding left-hand side table, removable warming rack, and gas bottle storage. The Spirit® II range also comes equipped with the same GS4™ grilling system as the Genesis® II range, this encompasses the upgraded infinity ignition, higher performance burners, Flavorizer bars which give your barbecuing a more authentic taste, and the handy grease management system. All of these features make the Spirit® II range a force to reckon with.

The Spirit® II 320 will be available later this year and will retail for £689.00 for the porcelain-enamelled model and £789.00 for the stainless steel finish - watch this space!
