I bought my Weber Silver Summit A this fall and love it - big cooking surface, lights easily and gets very hot. I even like the built in tool holders on the side. After using it several days a week for 3 months, it reliably achieves and maintains temperature, even on cold Ohio nights. The other thing that has impressed me is how much heat it generates - you can sear a steak on this grill better than any other gas grill I have owned. It is also big enough to cook a lot of food indirectly.

I replaced my old Weber Genesis(damaged in a tornado) with this new summit Silver A and its a big improvement. It get a lot hotter than the Genesis and the 4 burners cover the entire grilling surface. Took about 1hr to put together and I am very happy and would recommend this grill to anyone.

I recently purchased the Weber Summit Silver A as an upgrade to an old Weber I had. I am very pleased with the purchase. It was extremely easy to build and came in perfect condition. A total of 10 bolts and two cotter pins was all it took to put together this giant grill. It took approximatly 1 hour to build since I had to do it alone and wanted to be real careful not to scratch any parts. The previous Weber purchase lasted many years and I can tell that this one will last at least as long. The grill is very well made and the stainless stell option with the storage area is usually found only on very high end grills. ...

Our 12-year old Charbroil gas grill had just started falling apart when we started shopping for a new one.

The quality and workmanship of this Weber grill can't even be compared with the Charbroils! I shopped around, and found the Webers to be superior in their quality and details to Ducane, Viking, and Vermont Castings.

Cooking on this grill is a pleasure, and though we've only used it a handful of times so far, I'm sure it'll give us years and years of great cooking!

The four burners offer a complete cooking surface. Our old gas grill had an "H" burner, which even though we had the largest grilling surface Charbroil offered, you could really only cook on that center "H." With the Weber, the ENTIRE cooking surface heats up and you can cook on even the corners!

The insulated hood makes a big difference with heat retention and cook time. An average 1-1/2" thick steak would take at least 40 minutes on our old grill, where with the Webber Summitt, it cooks in just about 15-20 minutes. What a difference!

The grill assembled in 20 minutes flat! The only tool needed was the one they included. Much different from the 5-hour assembly time our old grill required.

Buy it!!

(AmericasBestBBQ.com also throws in a free grill cover...try 'em!)

This is my first Weber gas grill and it is the best one I ever have had. I would recommend this grill to anyone. It looks classy,is well built, and is VERY easy to put together. I have used it about a dozen times already since receiving it and it works great. cooks food evenly...no hot spots...has a hood mounted thermometer that is accurate and best of all it starts first time every time with the electronic ignitor..(not like those [other] grills). I would also recommend buying the 18" brass bristle cleaning brush... I did and it works well...also bought the grill cover to protect it from the weather..it is well made and rugged...I have no regrets about buying this grill and I can tell you one thing for sure is that you will be the envy of your neighborhood.

I ordered this from Amazon. With a rotiserrie (9970) it qualified for free shipping. It was pretty easy to put together and took me about 90-minutes with some interruptions from my 4-Year old. There is a lot of cardboard and a wooden pallet to dispose of. The hood and the front doors are stainless as well as the internal burner, grill and "flavorizer" pieces. Most everything else is painted metal or made of plastic. I have cooked twice on it up to this time. It seems to heat up quickly and cook evenly. I really like the four separate burners that run from front to back corresponding to the knobs in the front. This allows me to cook just on one burner and saves propane. I think this is the best feature! (I hate lugging around those tanks.) The cook book specifies cook times for searing and cooking. I found it to overcook at this time. I think I remember reading it burns hotter when new. I guess it will mellow out when the inside gets coated with grime. The taste is good. Not like Kingsford charcoal, but better than the oven broiler. Overall this grill is convenient and easy. The wheels rolled well on our back patio. The heavy hood is double-walled, but still gets a bit hot to the touch. The handle seems to stay cool. I didn't like the spring plunger to activate the ignitor at first. But, it functions fine and the burners light quickly and easily. I would say I'm quite satified and it is the best grill I've ever owned. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because it cheaps out in some areas. I'm not a big fan of hollow plastic wheels! (...)

I received this grill last week after ordering on Amazon.

Shipping time was a bit slow but for free who can complain. It took about 9 to 10 days to receive.

Set up was easy and would have been completed in under 40 minutes as Weber suggests if I hadn't been watching TV at the same time and hence installing one of the pieces backwards.

The grill looks great and I am happy with the components, etc. Stainless Steel cooking grate looks strong, the storage under the grill is huge and the finish is really nice.

I grilled on the grill Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I found the grill heats up to 500 degress in about 15 minutes. This is a little slower than some have suggests but I live in Michigan where it has been windy and cold. These factors may increase time to heat up. Chicken breasts on Friday (in about 8 minutes), pork tenderloin on Saturday (about 12.5 minutes) and spareribs on Sunday (2.25 hours a a pretty constant 275 degrees...I used two left burners with one near high and the other at low, i then cooked on the right side.

I would suggest those looking for a great grilling cookbook to buy "Best Grill" by America's Test Kitchen (publisher of Cook's Illustrated Magazine). Great book for recipes as well as techniques.

I purchased a Weber Summit Silver A Gas Grill to replace a 5 year old Kenmore Gas Grill. Let me tell you, I wish I'd bought a Weber Grill back then. This grill keeps its temperature very well. It cooks evenly and the juices from the food seem to stay in the food better. It is easy to assamble and the instructions are very easy to read. I reccomend this grill to anyone.

I have owned many grills over the years but the Weber Summit Silver A is the epitome of outdoor cooking. I have cooked entire meals on mine, including bread and dessert, and with the precise temperature control to the ease of cleanup and exquisite looks, you couldn't get anything better for the money. I would recommend this grill, and have, to anybody who is tired or buying cheaper grills that fall apart in a year or two and are virtual infernos on wheels. This is an outdoor cooking experience you don't want to miss!!

I assembled this grill in about an hour. All of the parts are sturdy. It looks good and works well too. There are no coals so the flavor is a little different than I was used to. I think the change is a good one. :)
