Constructed with the sleekness and durability of stainless steel, Weber's Summit grills are arguably the most refined gas grills ever built. The Summit Gold D stands 61 inches tall, 68 inches wide, and 30 inches deep and features an input of 57,600 Btu's per hour. A brand-new burner system, featuring six burner controls on the front of the grill, allows all 648 square inches of the primary cooking area to heat evenly and thoroughly. The Crossover Ignition System lights all burners in succession with the push of one button. The Gold D's expanded total cooking surface of 902 square inches, including main grates, warm-up basket, and warming rack, makes it easy to use various cooking styles: direct grilling for steaks and hamburgers combined with indirect heat for keeping grilled foods warm, toasting bread, or cooking delicate foods like fish and vegetables. The deluxe model in the Summit series, the Gold D also comes with 1) a handy side burner for whipping up side dishes as you grill, 2) a stainless-steel smoker box to give your feasts the option of a smokehouse flavor, and 3) a stainless-steel rear-mounted rotisserie, powered by a 110-volt heavy-duty motor, that allows heat to radiate evenly when cooking roasts, or chicken, or turkey.
The Summit Gold D also boasts restaurant-grade enhancements, such as a commercial-grade front-mounted thermometer and two stainless steel cooking grates that are robot-welded for incredible strength. The hood, made of lustrous stainless steel, will never rust, peel, or fade, 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 vaporizing meat juice into steam and smoke. This liquid propane (LP) model includes a 20-pound LP tank. There are even spiderproof screens specially created to eliminate the frustrating problem of burner tubes clogged by cobwebs--Weber really did think of everything.
Redesigned for the Summit series, Weber's sturdy cart gives you even more strength and space with two swing-up work surfaces. When you've finished cooking, 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. Made in the USA. --Rhonda Langdon

Unbelievable quality - this could last a lifetime!!!,
By
This review is from: Weber 2004 Model 5290001 Summit Gold D Propane Gas Grill (Lawn & Patio)
Tired of buying a new grill every 3-4 years? The last grill we purchased 4 years ago was a Sunshine grill - which was supposed to be just as good if not better than a Weber. While we really did enjoy the griddle aspect of that, it was barely usable after the first summer because the burners kept getting rust in the holes. After last summer (3rd year) the whole grill, burners, grates, and all was completely rusted out. I've never had a Weber and even though this is a lot of money to spend on a grill, this grill has surpassed my expectations for quality. But it's not nearly as quick and easy to put together as the Weber description would lead you to believe. They say "a total of just 10 fasteners connect the cooking module to the frame assembly", but that overlooks the task of assembling the frame and assembling the cooking module. Total assembly took a little over an hour, but still not bad considering the options and size of this monster. The assembly instructions are in the form of pictures without any written instructions. While mostly well-drawn, I did have some trouble installing the doors on the cart. There is a long rod that has to push through plastic guides in the upper and lower part of the frame. The upper guides had to have the longer part of the rod through them, but the holes were plugged about 1/4" into the guide. The bottom guides - which had a very short piece of rod to place in them, did not have this obstruction. I think they had the guides switched around in the wrong place-but I couldn't seem to get them out without fear of breaking them. I finally pushed the rod up on the top guides hard enough to break through the plastic obstruction. Didn't seem to cause any damage and the doors swing fine. Also wish doors had magnetic hasp on top and bottom, rather than just on bottom. The grill was packed very well. Comes in one big box strapped onto a pallet. Numerous smaller boxes inside. All stainless steel has thick plastic wrap coating to protect from scratches. The little narrow rack that swings and lifts as the hood is raised has a strange "U" design that makes it difficult to remove anything placed up there by anything other than tongs. Would have been better if the surface was flat. The igniter has a battery in it. Should last much longer than the short-lived versions installed on other grills. Have cooked on this grill since April and have had absolutely no maintenance problems. It does a great job on chicken! No flare-ups cooking leg quarters on low for 45 minutes. I've never cooked chicken on a grill that didn't blacken the skin completely - but chicken on this looks almost like it was on a rotissorie even though we used the grill burners. The only flare-up problem I had was with some fresh bratwurst. This grill's large surface area cooks very evenly in all areas. No hot or cold spots. There also seems to be much more temperature difference between the high, medium, and low settings than other grills. Be careful turning the burners all on high to "burn off" the grill, this baby gets hot! I warped the vinyl siding on our house and slightly discolored the stainless hood by leaving it turned on high for 15 minutes with the lid down - temp guage maxed out past 800 degrees. 5 minutes on high will burn off the grill plenty well. You will be very happy with this purchase!

This review is from: Weber 2004 Model 5290001 Summit Gold D Propane Gas Grill (Lawn & Patio)
Just received grill this week. Assembly took about 1 1/2 hours. Quality of fit and finish and packaging was outstanding. Be careful of the side burner igniter wire taped to the side. We accidentally triggered the igniter when lifting the grill and shocked my arm. Assembly only had one hitch, a pin to hold the lid needed its hole reamed out with a drill, other than that flawless. Burners fired right up and within minutes grill was registering 550 F. Cooked flawless meal. Extra room is great, never felt like a crowded surface. Does anybody really need this fancy of a grill? Not many, but it is a joy to use and after using it a lesser grill would be too much compromise. Also, felt good about Weber brand, widely available parts, service if ever needed.

You can't go wrong with Weber,
By
This review is from: Weber 2004 Model 5290001 Summit Gold D Propane Gas Grill (Lawn & Patio)
I grill at least twice a week. And, I will tell you that you honestly can't go wrong with Weber. This company has figured out how to design grills that are both easy to use and yield great food. And, its customer service is superb.I used to have a Weber Genesis. I loved that grill, but it was too small. It was getting pretty old, and I replaced it with a large, store-brand grill from CostCo. This grill was all stainless with lots of drawers. It was pretty, and for a large stainless grill, the price was great. The only problem was that if I tried to grill anything but carrots, the grill flared constantly. Chicken with the skin on or rib-eye steaks were, essentially, impossible to cook unless your preferred degree of doneness is charred. And, after a couple of months with some grease on the internals, I had to manually light the grill. Even though the CostCo grill was less than a year old, I gave up and bought the Weber Summit D. What a great grill. No flare ups. Lights every time. Knobs are marked so that you can reproduce heat settings and time your cooking. Includes a compartment for wood chips that holds a lot of chips and has its own burner so that you can control the heat producing the smoke and make the chips last. And, it comes with a cookbook that gives fairly explicit instructions for virtually anything you might want to grill and includes some great recipies. If that isn't enough, two more cookbooks from Weber can be bought on Amazon.com. "The Art of the Grill" is great. I haven't tried the rotisserie yet, but plan to this weekend. I expect that the results will be excellent. Could the cabinet for this grill have more features considering the grill's cost? Yes. The cabinet just has two doors that open to reveal a large space. I would like it better if the cabinet included drawers. And, it is large enough that it could include several. As to Weber's customer service. It has a Web site that includes recipies and contact information for customer support. Our grill was already put together when we bought it. After we got it home, I noticed that it didn't come with a cookbook. I called the store from which we bought it. I was told that it didn't come with a cookbook. I called Weber. Weber sent me the cookbook at no charge. Then about a week later, I noticed that a small part that goes with the smoking chamber and holds water was missing. (Evidently the store that put the grill together lost the book and this part.) I called Weber. The part was sent at no cost. If you're like me and you like to grill, but you are not an artist and don't want to stand over your grill, buy a Weber. I like to put on some steaks or whatever, kick back, and have a beer with minimal interaction with the grill. Sure, you have to time the meat and pay attention to when it should be turned. But, the Weber Summit D makes this easy. It is, in my experience, the easiest way to grill great food.
