The Best Weber Gas Barbecues (UK 2026)

By the Grill and Grate editorial team · Updated 2026 · How we test & score

Weber is the benchmark in gas barbecues, known for build quality, even heat and grills that last a decade or more. Here's how the range compares and which suits you.

Quick answer

Weber's range runs from the compact, portable Q series through the mid-size Spirit to the premium Genesis. The Q suits balconies, camping and small households; Spirit is the family all-rounder; Genesis is for serious, frequent grilling. All share Weber's hallmarks - excellent heat distribution, solid porcelain-enamelled cast iron grates, and long parts availability. You pay more upfront for a barbecue that genuinely lasts.

What to look for

Choose the range by capacity and use: Q for portability and small spaces, Spirit for typical family grilling, Genesis for large or frequent cooking. Across all of them you get strong build, even burners and quality grates, so the decision is mainly size and budget. Weber's parts support is a genuine long-term advantage - burners and grates remain available years later, so a Weber can be maintained rather than replaced.

Frequently asked questions

Are Weber gas BBQs worth the money?

If you grill regularly, yes - Weber barbecues are built to a noticeably higher standard, with even heat distribution, heavy porcelain-enamelled cast iron grates and thick steel that resists rust. They typically last many years, and replacement parts stay available so you can maintain rather than replace. If you only barbecue a few times a season, a good value brand will serve you fine.

Which Weber gas BBQ should I buy?

Match the range to your use. The Q series is compact and portable, ideal for balconies, camping and one to four people. The Spirit range is the family all-rounder with a good grill area and a trolley. The Genesis range is larger and more premium, for frequent cooking and entertaining. All cook well, so choose primarily on capacity and budget.
