For the serious outdoor chef who wants to cook it all on one grill, Weber’s D6 grill has a full 57,600 BTU primary burner, a commercial-grade side burner, a smoker box with dedicated smoker burner, and a rotisserie attachment for roasting poultry. Six rust-resistant stainless steel burners run the length of the cookbox for even heating without hot or cold spots. Infinitely-adjustable burner valves let you cook with direct or indirect heat, while a spacious 902 square inches of total cooking area provides enough room to cook for even the biggest groups. A 12,000-BTU side burner cooks side dishes and sauces while meat grills, and the dedicated smoker burner heats a stainless steel box designed to hold wood chips for authentic "low-and-slow" barbecue-style cooking. The infrared rotisserie burner radiates even heat to meats placed on the stainless steel rotisserie attachment powered by a heavy-duty 110-volt motor. To get you cooking, an electronic Crossover ignition system lights all burners in succession with the push of a button.
Built to last, the grill’s stainless steel hood features double-wall construction, adding a layer of insulation to trap heat and protect against discoloration. Rugged, weather-resistant wheels are crack-proof in the most extreme temperatures and allow easy transport, while locking casters prevent the grill from rolling while you cook. Burners even have screens to keep spiders from spinning combustible webs inside.
The propane-fueled Summit Platinum D6 also comes loaded with extras including: a fixed commercial-grade thermometer, three sturdy tool holders and a roomy storage area with stainless steel doors and a heavy-gauge steel bottom shelf. One removable and two swing-up work surfaces offer plenty of space to spread out sauces, marinades, utensils and other prep essentials; they're made from granite-look Thermoset with stainless steel inserts for maximum durability, heat and weather resistance, and ease of cleaning. Weber’s patented Flavorizer bars eliminate flare-ups caused by lava rocks and ceramic briquets--so fats and juices hit the angled bars and sizzle away, adding delicious, smoky barbecue flavor instead of flames. A convenient warming rack keeps already-cooked foods warm or toasts hamburger buns, while the warm-up basket is perfect for grilling easily-burned foods such as fish or vegetables. Finally, when the barbecue’s over, a slide-out bottom tray funnels grease into a removable catch pan for quick and easy clean-up.
Best of all, ten fasteners are all that's needed to put this grill together, meaning you'll go from box to barbecue in less than 40 minutes. The Summit Platinum D6 measures 62-1/2 inches tall, 68 inches wide, and 34-1/2 inches deep. A propane tank must be purchased separately. This item has a limited, lifetime warranty, and is made in the USA. --Mary Park

A Complete Grill,
By
This review is from: Weber 7790001 Summit Platinum D6 Propane Grill (Lawn & Patio)
This grill has it all, six burners, a side burner, a rotisserie with infrared burner and a smoker box with a dedicated burner. The grill grates are 3/8" stainless steel rods that provide great grill marks on your food. The grill heats up to 600 degrees in less than 10 minutes, but it does burn through propane rather quickly, but that wouldn't be any different with any 60,000 BTU grill. I was able to put the grill together by myself in a little over an hour. The fit of the pieces was fantastic and the end result was an attractive incredibly stable grill. It has two pull-up counters with stainless steel inserts, and a cabinet with stainless doors.
So far I have made countless steaks, dogs and chicken breasts that all came out the same due to the even temperature on the grill. My old Charbroil would give me two raw breasts, two good breasts, and two overcooked breasts... not with this grill. I have also slowed cooked some ribs with the smoker box going and the meat fell off the bone. But, the best meal yet was a rotisserie chicken that I prepared with a rub and injected with a marinade. The skin was crispy and the meat was tender and juicy. We'll be making many more of those chickens in the future. Weber is a known commodity. They are built to last, and given the quality of the components (with care) I expect this grill to last at least 15 years. Many people end up having to get rid of their Weber's after 10, 12, 15 years because the cart has rusted out, but that's not an issue with this grill as the cart is constructed of 304 stainless steel. All in all, a great grill that will last a long time. My only cons would be the propane consumption and maybe the size. It's probably a little too big for me and my family, but it was the only Weber that had all the features I wanted (mainly the rotisserie and the smoker box with burner). If they had a four burner model with those options I would have gotten that, but alas the Weber Summit Platinum D4 does not exist.

A Great Grill!!,
By
This review is from: Weber 7790001 Summit Platinum D6 Propane Grill (Lawn & Patio)
Overall, this is an outstanding grill. I've had it for a year, and it's been awesome. It Gets hot quickly, it sears food well, and it has all the bells and whistles.
The stainless steel grates are the primary reason to get the platinum and not the gold. They are worth it, unless you want to use plain cast iron and constantly oil them (which also you'd have to buy). A couple of things to consider though: 1. The design is kind a retarded for the smoker box. Using the smoker box and the rotisserie is chore, you can't really open the smoker box because of the spit, and the smoker box seems to want to rely on the grates (which I remove to use the rotisserie) so with the grates gone it will tip over easily. 2. The grill has blown out a few times. I think this is due to the fact that I don't follow the instructions and turn the gas off when I'm done using it, I just turn the grill off. So the regulator has a protection mechanism that gets tripped, and off the grill goes. So I've changed the way I use it, and it hasn't blown out since. 3. There are these weird chains in the doors of the cabinet. I have no idea what they are for, and no one has been able to tell me. So, if I had it to do over again, I'd get the exact same grill, it's worth every single penny.

A Weber should be better,
By Family of 4 (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weber 7790001 Summit Platinum D6 Propane Grill (Lawn & Patio)
I've had an old Weber for 15 years - still works well! However, as it was getting too small for my growing needs and starting to show its age, I "upgraded" to this model.
The new one has more bells and whistles - I do love the smoking burner/box combo. The rest of the features are nice too. However, this thing is almost impossible to get to 500 degrees to sear a steak or do some other high-temp cooking! It runs through a tank of propane in just a couple of serious days of cooking and once you're at less than 3/4 tank, don't bother with high heat - it's not there! On the other hand - very few flare-ups and mid/low temp cooking is great.
