By combining the convenient features of the Genesis series grills with the sleekness of durable stainless steel, Weber has created "the most refined gas grill ever built." The Summit 650 stands 60 inches tall, 79 inches wide, and 31 inches deep and features an input of 75,000 Btu's per hour. A brand-new burner system was designed for the Summit series: burner controls are on the front of the grill, which allows room for six burners, so all 636 square inches of the primary cooking area heats evenly and thoroughly. The crossover ignition system allows you to light all burners in succession with the push of one button. And the Summit 650's expanded total cooking surface of 796 square inches makes it easier to use various cooking styles: direct grilling for steaks and hamburgers or indirect cooking for roasting turkey or prime rib.
The Summit 650 also has restaurant-grade enhancements, such as a commercial-grade thermometer and three heavy cooking grates made from large-diameter stainless-steel rods, robot welded for incredible strength. The hood, made of lustrous porcelain enamel, will never rust, peel, or fade because the finish is fired at 1,600 degrees F, and its brushed stainless-steel handle stays as cool as it looks. Patented Flavorizer bars, made from heavy-gauge stainless steel, eliminate flare-ups and impart a rich flavor by turning meat juice into smoke. If you're serving ribs and salmon, you'll appreciate the Steam-'n'-Chips smoker that comes with this grill: it combines steam with aromatic smoke from mesquite or hickory chips to give your feasts a smokehouse flavor. Plus, you can cook veggies, create scrumptious side dishes, and reheat with the 106-square-inch stainless-steel warming rack. Use the included 20-pound LP tank and precision fuel gauge to get your first savory Summit cookouts started in a hurry. Spiderproof screens were specially created to eliminate the frustrating problem of burner tubes clogged by cobwebs--Weber really did think of everything.
Weber's already sturdy cart was redesigned for the Summit, giving you even more strength and two stainless-steel work surfaces that will resist the elements for years. Two stainless-steel condiment holders keep your marinades, rubs, and spices at your fingertips. Weber also includes a cookbook, Weber's Art of the Grill. When you've finished cooking a delectable dinner, you can store all your tools and gear in the enclosed storage area equipped with stainless-steel doors and side panels, then roll the grill away on its crackproof, all-weather wheels. The cart-mounted 14,000 Btu side burner is sold as an accessory. Summit series grills are backed by Weber's limited lifetime warranty and a 45-day money-back guarantee. --Rhonda Langdon
