Weber Spirit II E-310 Manual Assembly Burner Care and Troubleshooting Guide
Why This Companion Is Useful
Weber ships the Spirit II E-310 with the grill body, cooking grates, Flavorizer bars, and a thick assembly booklet. The instructions are detailed, but many real-world questions — like what to do when a burner won’t light, how to clean the tubes, or how to adjust the air shutters — require clearer guidance. Thousands search for a “Weber Spirit II E-310 manual” because they want practical, step-by-step help. This companion gives you that.
What’s in the Box
Your box contains:
- Grill head with lid
- Cart frame with wheels
- Three stainless steel burner tubes
- Three Flavorizer bars
- Two porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates
- A warming rack
- A grease tray
- A propane hose with regulator
Assembly takes about 1.5 hours with a Phillips screwdriver and an adjustable wrench.
First‑Time Assembly and Gas Connection
Follow the numbered steps in the Weber assembly booklet. The most common mistakes are cross-threading the bolts on the cart frame and forgetting to install the igniter battery (AAA, under the control panel). Once assembled, attach the propane hose to the tank. Use a soapy water solution to test for leaks at the tank valve and regulator connection. If bubbles appear, tighten the connection.
Burner Cleaning and Air Shutter Adjustment
Yellow or lazy flames indicate clogged burner ports or an incorrect air shutter. Turn off the grill and let it cool. Remove the cooking grates and Flavorizer bars. Lift out each burner tube and brush the exterior with a stainless steel brush. Use a thin wire or a toothpick to clean the tiny gas ports along the tube. Reinstall the tubes, then adjust the air shutter (the metal sleeve at the end of each burner) by loosening the screw and sliding it until the flame burns blue with a small yellow tip.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Problem | Likely Cause | What to Try |
|---|---|---|
| Grill won’t light | Dead igniter battery or dirty electrode | Replace the AAA battery. Clean the electrode tip with a dry cloth. Check that the gas tank has fuel. |
| Flames are low even on high | Regulator safety device tripped | Turn off all burners and the tank. Disconnect the regulator, wait 60 seconds, reconnect, and slowly open the tank valve. |
| Grease fire | Buildup in the drip tray | Turn off the grill, let it cool, and clean the grease tray and the bottom of the cookbox. Never let grease accumulate. |
| Uneven heating | Clogged burner ports | Remove and clean the burners as described. Ensure Flavorizer bars are correctly seated. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this grill with natural gas?
No, this model is designed for liquid propane only. Weber sells a natural gas conversion kit for other models, but not for the Spirit II E-310.
Can I use a griddle or pizza stone on this grill?
Yes, you can place a flat griddle or pizza stone directly on the cooking grates. Preheat the grill, then set the accessory on the grates. Do not place it directly on the Flavorizer bars.
How often should I clean the burners?
Once a season, or whenever you see yellow flames. If the grill sits uncovered, clean them more often.
What size propane tank fits?
Does the grill have a built‑in thermometer?
Yes, the lid has a center‑mounted temperature gauge. It reads the ambient heat inside the grill, not the grate temperature. Use it as a guide, and for precise cooking, use a separate digital meat probe.
A standard 20‑pound propane tank (the type used for most backyard grills).
Can I convert this grill to natural gas?
No. The Spirit II E-310 is only available as a liquid propane model. Weber does not offer a conversion kit for this model. If you need natural gas, purchase the natural gas version (Weber Spirit II E-310 NG).
Before you go
Before you cover the grill for the season, give it a full burn‑off and clean the burners one last time. A clean grill is a reliable grill. If your neighbor ever smells gas and can’t figure out where, share this guide — it might just prevent a ruined cookout.
