Weber Spirit E-325 GBS
Our verdict · The safe, well-supported family workhorse — cheaper than the Rogue and richer in accessories, if you can live with a shorter warranty.
Buy it if
You want a dependable 3-burner from a brand with a well-established UK parts and dealer network and a swappable-accessory ecosystem.
Skip it if
You want the longest possible warranty (the Napoleon beats it) or a charcoal-flavour option; the base model has no dedicated side burner.

The Spirit E-325 is the pick to choose over the Rogue when up-front price, the accessory ecosystem or resale and support matter more than raw warranty length. Its three burners output 9.09 kW, with a Sear Zone where two Boost burners add around 40% more power for searing, and the total 2,894 cm2 (2,314 cm2 primary) is genuine family capacity. The Weber Crafted porcelain-enamelled cast-iron GBS grates let you drop in a pizza stone, griddle or wok, Snap-Jet one-handed ignition and a lid thermometer make weeknight cooking easy, and the enclosed cabinet stores the propane cylinder out of sight. Bought direct from Weber UK it undercuts the Rogue's RRP by roughly £75. The trade-offs versus the number one: a staged warranty that tops out shorter (10 yrs cookbox and lid, 5 yrs grates, 3 yrs electronics, 2 yrs remaining parts) and slightly less primary cooking area. Weber also has a well-established UK parts and dealer network, and its grills have a reputation for holding their second-hand value. Price is indicative; cylinder and regulator cost extra.
