Proven enjoyment, new look: electric barbecues are on the rise in urban areas - here, barbecuers like it compact, powerful and functional. The Lumin electric barbecue already shone as a major innovation from Weber in 2023. Due to its great success, it now shines in an additional new color: In "Mint Green" it takes barbecuing in the urban outdoor area to a new level. Thanks to its compact size, the Lumin fits on a small city balcony, your own patio or a shared patio. With its 5 functions, from hot grilling to smoking and keeping warm, it is in no way inferior to a coal or gas barbecue.

Urban barbecuing on balconies and patios is all the rage. One thing is important: the barbecue must be a complete outdoor kitchen - and not just a barbecue with a grill. Flexibility from grilling, smoking to steaming and plate grilling should be possible.(Bild: weber.com)

Unique 5-in-1 functionality
"Thanks to the temperatures of over 315 °C, the Lumin enables sharp grilling and beautiful grill patterns on steaks & co, and with the smoking function, smoke flavors like a smoker are even possible on the electric grill," explains Yulia Haybäck, Weber Grill Master. Steaming also brings vegetables to perfection. The defrost and keep warm function rounds off the Lumin's portfolio of functions. This allows you to grill recipe creations with a wow effect, from quick home office lunches to dinners with friends.

Many recipe options
Pineapple and feta skewers, garlic pit steaks and pollack with grilled onions: anything is possible on the Lumin electric grill. Incidentally, if you know any electric grill critics or even if you are one yourself, there are some exciting results from blind tastings. They have shown that steaks from electric barbecues taste just as good as those from gas or charcoal barbecues. This is not due to the charcoal, but to the Maillard reaction, which browns and flavors food during grilling, as well as the so-called "white smoke". This occurs when fats and juices hit the hot grill surfaces, releasing aromatic substances that give the grill its characteristic taste.

Smart barbecue experiences
The Lumin electric barbecue can be used with the smart Weber Connect technology. This free app from Weber contains more than 800 barbecue recipes: There are no limits to your creativity for delicious recipes and unusual creations.
