Weber Spirit 200 vs 300: Which one do you have, and which parts fit?

A hand-me-down Spirit is easy to mis-identify, and ordering 300-series parts for a 200-series grill (or the reverse) means a wrong-part return. The single reliable check takes 30 seconds: count the control knobs. Two knobs is a 2-burner Spirit 200; three knobs is a 3-burner Spirit 300. Here's how to be sure, then where to get the exact parts for yours.

Spirit 200 / 2-burner Spirit 300 / 3-burner

The parts don't swap between the two, so it's worth being sure.

Count the control knobs to tell a 2-burner Spirit 200 from a 3-burner Spirit 300, then get the exact grates, burners, and Flavorizer bars that fit.

The 30-second check: count the control knobs

Look at the main control knobs on the front (or right side) of the cookbox. Two knobs means a 2-burner: the Spirit 200 series. Three knobs means a 3-burner: the Spirit 300 series. This works on every Spirit, old or new, and it's the one check you can trust.

How to be sure which Spirit you have
  • COUNT THE KNOBS: 2 knobs = 200-series (2-burner); 3 knobs = 300-series (3-burner). This is the reliable check at any age.
  • CHECK THE MODEL NUMBER: the digit after the E- or S- is the series: an E-210 or S-210 is a 200 (2-burner); an E-310, E-320, or E-330 is a 300 (3-burner). The sticker is on the inside of a side panel, the bottom of the cart, or the back.
  • DON'T COUNT THE SIDE BURNER: a side burner or sear burner in the side table is NOT a main burner. An E-220 is still a 2-burner (200 series); an E-320/E-330 is a 3-burner (300 series). Always count the MAIN knobs on the cookbox.

Still can't tell? The 300 is the wider, larger three-burner grill, and its cooking grates are noticeably wider than the 200's. If you can, measure a grate or compare against a photo of each, but counting the knobs settles it almost every time.

2-burner vs 3-burner at a glance

Here's how the two lines differ, and why a 300-series part won't drop into a 200-series grill, or the reverse.

Got a 2-burner? That's a Spirit 200 (like the E-210)

Your grill takes 200-series parts: the narrower grates, a single/dual burner tube, and the 200-series Flavorizer bars. Our full restore guide for the front-control Spirit E-210 walks the whole job (assess, degrease, swap parts, season) and has the exact verified parts.

FAQ

How do I tell if I have a Weber Spirit 200 or 300?

Count the main control knobs on the cookbox. Two knobs means a 2-burner: that's the Spirit 200 series (like the E-210). Three knobs means a 3-burner: that's the Spirit 300 series (like the E-310). This check works on every Spirit, old or new, and it's the one to trust.

My grill has a side burner. Does that count?

No. A side burner or sear burner in the side table is not a main burner. An E-220 is still a 2-burner (200 series) with an added side burner, and an E-320 or E-330 is a 3-burner (300 series) with extras. Always count the main knobs on the cookbox, not the side table.

What does the model number tell me?

The digit right after the E- or S- is the series. A 2xx (E-210, E-220, S-210) is a 200-series 2-burner. A 3xx (E-310, E-320, E-330, S-310) is a 300-series 3-burner. The sticker is usually on the inside of a side panel, the bottom of the cart, or the back, and the knob count confirms it if the label has faded.

Will 300-series parts fit my 200-series grill (or the other way around)?

No. The grates, burner tubes, and Flavorizer bars are different between the two lines and don't swap. The 300 is the wider grill, so its grates and burner set won't fit a 200, and a 200's parts are too narrow for a 300. Match the parts to your burner count and you'll order right the first time.

Where do I find the model number on a Weber Spirit?

Check the inside face of a side panel, the bottom panel or rear of the cart, and the manifold near the burners. Weather can fade the sticker, so look in more than one spot. If it's gone, just count the knobs: two is a 200, three is a 300.

Are any parts shared between the Spirit 200 and 300?

A few small parts cross the line within the same generation (the igniter kit is usually the same for a 200 and a 300 of the same era, for example). But the parts that actually wear out and matter most (grates, burner tubes, and Flavorizer bars) are different and specific to your burner count, which is why counting knobs first is the safe move.

Is a Spirit 310 the same as a Genesis 310?

No, they're different grills. A Genesis is larger and uses its own parts. Check the badge on the lid or cart. Some grates are cross-listed for both, but always confirm against your exact model on the parts page before ordering.
