I remember looking at a summit grill five years ago but fell for a "Cook On" instead. I remember the sales guy told me if you have the money summit is the only grill worth it. That was five years ago and the summit has just gotten better. The frame is strong, the body of the grill is twice as thick as others and the stainless looks clean. Flavor bars are solid and heavy. Big difference from Genesis! Most grills warn you not to exceen 500F, the Weber wants you to pre heat to 550F. Controls are perfect and look like they will wear well. Cart is good size and sturdy. Warming racks sit high enough you can leave them on and still reach the back of the grill. Four burners is a must and being able to control them like the Weber can is great. To sum it up, easy to build, easy to use, nice cook book comes with and warranty is best in business. This should be a ten year grill so remember that when you buy. This is a true five star grill for those who want to step up from a Genesis or a Target special grill.

We grill almost every day, winter and Summer, we have been "getting along" up to now with a Charboil grill which is cheap, and I am afraid, rather nasty but I didn`t know about Weber in those days.
When the Summit arrived, I knew that this was a different level of grilling. The first time I switched it on and fired up I was thinking, "the people who designed this knew what they were doing"
Easy to assemble, an eyecatcher on the deck and a charm to use.
Even cleaning it shows that this product was made by someone who KNOWS GRILLING. But be careful, using this baby has made me put on 5 pounds in two weeks. Thats the only down side. This machine is perfect and worth every one of the 999 dollars it cost.

We have used this grill year round for about a 18 months with no problems. The distribution of heat is fairly even and the amount of heat delivered to different parts of the grilling surface is easily adjustable with the four burner controls. The stainless steel cooking grates are easily cleaned by turning all four burners on high. The grill is easy to maintain and has kept a good appearance.

I would have rated this grill 5 stars except it does not get hot enough to char cook a medium rare steak to our liking. Weber should consider adding infra-red burner below the grate on one side as an option for grilling steaks or other foods suitable for cooking at very high temperatures. We use a portable Solaire infra-red grill for steaks which works great.

This is my fifth lifetime Weber grill and they keep getting beter. Just like any other Weber, the quality is superb, the food tastes great, and it is sturdy as a rock! What seperates this one from the rest is striking looks! I proudly rolled this fine piece of culinary genius onto my back deck for the neighbors to gauck at! Oh, and the perfect touch is the beautiful thermometer set into the lid, with the nice red and black Weber logo. The silver and black thermometer and the stainless steel plating is what takes this grill to the SUMMIT! I'm proud to be a five time Weber customer.
