Shop Weber freestanding BBQs in Newcastle & the Hunter
As Newcastle’s Weber Specialist Dealer, Heating & Outdoors by the Glendale Warehouse stocks the full freestanding Weber range, from the entry-level Spirit through to the flagship Summit, plus Weber’s flat-top Slate griddles for a different style of outdoor cooking.
Which Weber series suits you?
Weber’s freestanding range splits into four series, and the right one depends on how you cook and how much you want to spend. Spirit is the most affordable way into a Weber cart barbecue, Genesis steps up the size and features, Slate swaps the grill grates for a flat-top griddle, and Summit sits at the very top of the range for those who want the best Weber makes.
Most models are available in either LPG or natural gas, so if you’re comparing Weber BBQs in Newcastle across both fuel types, check which one suits your home before ordering, since they’re sold as separate configurations rather than a single convertible unit.
If you’re still weighing up brands, our freestanding BBQ range covers Napoleon, Beefeater and Gasmate, too.
Spirit and Genesis, Weber’s classic grill range
The Spirit range starts at $999 for the 3-Burner E-325 in LPG, with the 4-Burner E-425 and natural gas options taking it up to $1,199, plus the Spirit II E-310 at $1,099 for a slightly different take on the entry-level cart barbecue.
The Spirit II has a more open leg-frame design rather than the enclosed cabinet of the E-325 and E-425, so it’s worth considering if you want a smaller footprint and don’t need extra storage underneath. It’s a straightforward, no-fuss way to get genuine Weber cooking into a smaller backyard or a first home.
If space is tight, our Weber portable BBQs range might suit better than a full cart barbecue.
Step up to Genesis and you get a bigger cook and more features for it. The Genesis E-425 4-Burner, priced from $1,999 in LPG, comes with a Weber Crafted griddle included, a built-in warming rack and compatibility with Weber Works side tables, so you can grill, sear and prep all on the one unit. The E-325 and E-335 sit below it, giving you the same Genesis quality in a slightly smaller footprint from $1,799.
Slate griddles and the Summit flagship
If you’re after smash burgers, pancakes or a proper fry-up rather than grill marks, the Slate range trades grates for a flat, even cooking surface. It runs from the 30 inch 3 Burner Griddle at $1,299 through to the 36 inch 4 Burner Premium Griddle at $1,699, giving you more surface area and finish depending on how much you’re cooking at once.
At the top of the range sits the Summit FS38 5-Burner, priced at $7,249. It’s built for serious, regular entertaining, and pairs well with a full outdoor kitchen setup if you’re planning a permanent cooking space.
Whichever model you land on, a good BBQ cover will help protect it against Newcastle’s coastal weather.
FAQs about Weber freestanding BBQs
Should I choose LPG or natural gas for my Weber freestanding BBQ?
If your home is connected to mains gas, a natural gas model saves you the hassle of swapping bottles, though it usually costs a little more upfront. If you’re not on mains gas, LPG is the simpler option, and it’s easy to keep a spare bottle ready for when one runs out.
What can I cook on a Weber Slate griddle that I can’t on a normal grill?
The flat, solid surface is great for smash burgers, pancakes, stir-fries and delicate foods like eggs or fish that would otherwise fall through grill grates. It’s a different style of cooking to a traditional Weber grill, rather than a replacement for one.
Is the Weber Summit worth the extra cost over Genesis?
The Summit FS38 is built for serious, frequent entertaining, with more burners and cooking capacity than the Genesis range. For most home cooks, Genesis covers everything you need, so it comes down to how often and how big you’re cooking for.
Can I see the Weber range in person before I buy?
Absolutely. If you’d like to see Weber BBQs in Newcastle, drop into our Glendale showroom and our team can walk you through the Spirit, Genesis, Slate and Summit ranges in person.
