Which is better for a family of four?

The Weber Spirit EP-435 is enough for a family of four at 533 sq in and about 21 burgers. The Denali only makes sense if you often host larger groups.

Is the Denali worth the extra money?

At $899 versus a Weber low of $292.50, you pay about $600 more for 367 extra sq in, 43,000 more BTUs, stainless steel and smart probes. That is worth it for frequent large cooks, not for casual weeknight grilling.

Which one gets hotter?

The Denali reaches 700°F in about 10 minutes with its infrared sear burner. Weber does not publish a max temperature for the Spirit EP-435, and its 35,000 BTUs are tuned for even, moderate heat.

Can either run on natural gas?

No. The Weber Spirit EP-435 here is the propane model, and the Denali 605Pro is explicitly not compatible with natural gas.

Which has better smart features?

The Denali. It has a Bluetooth app, a real-time temperature display, dual meat probes and LED knobs. The Weber offers only a digital temperature gauge.

The Denali's stainless body should resist weather better than the Weber's metal body. The Weber's porcelain-enameled cast-iron grates are durable, but neither maker publishes a warranty here.

Weber Spirit EP-435 Gas Grill vs Denali 605Pro Smart Propane Gas Grill

Buy the Denali 605Pro if you want maximum cooking space, high heat and smart features; it costs $899 at Home Depot as of November 1. Buy the Weber Spirit EP-435 if you want a proven 4-burner grill at a much lower price; it was $292.50 at its lowest on November 1 and peaked at $799 on November 5. The Denali is the stronger grill on paper, but the Weber is the better value when its price sits near $300.
