 Possibly the best grill on the market May 15, 2007

This is my fourth gas grill which replaces a very expensive stainless "Turbo" unit I bought from Barbecues Galore about eight years ago. That Turbo started out fine, but steadily deteriorated to the point where I didn't even want to fire it up anymore. The quality of materials and workmanship on the Weber Summit S-650 is top shelf. Every detail is well thought-out and executed, including the burner system, high-end side burner, LP tank weight guage, heavy guage stainless grills, jet ignition system, separate smoker box and burner, drip tray system, massive lid, and LED grill-out lights that really work. I've only owned the Summit for a short time, but everything I've grilled so far has turned out perfectly. The six burners and large cooking area make it possible to cook for a large party, but also provide more options for indirect cooking. Want more heat without increased gas usage? Turn on the burners closer to the food. It's brilliant. Perhaps the best features are the flavorizer bars and grease drip system. They virtually guarantee no flare-ups on fatty foods like burgers and chicken quarters, which was a constant source of frustration with my previous grill. The grease hits the flavorizer bars and disappears into a poof of smoke. What misses the flavorizer bars hits the full width slanted grease tray that terminates into an aluminum catch pan. Clean and easy to manage with zero flare-ups and no charred food.
I really can't say enough good things about this grill and I can't think of a single negative to write about. While the Summit S-650 may seem expensive at first glance, it compares very favorably to grills costing 4x as much. With the Summit, you don't get what you pay for...you get much more. Is it possible to love a grill? :-)

We looked at numerous box store stainless gas grills and after reading many opinions indicating the cheaper grills don't hold up more than around two years, we realized to own a grill with longevity it would have to be a Weber Summit.
The initial cash outlay is significantly more but will pay for itself by providing years of dependable service and if there ever is a problem is backed by a well known, in it for the long haul, reputable company.
The boxed grill arrived perfect, supported in a heavy-duty plastic shipping base strapped to a wooden pallet. Assembly was quick and simple with picture type instructions.
We have owned the grill for about a month and are extremely satisfied with its performance. We were impressed by the following features: Super heavy-duty 3/8" dia. stainless steel cooking grates that leave perfect grill marks, cooking grates are mounted flush with the opening at the front making it convenient to insert a quick read thermometer sideways into the center of your food and allowing the lid to be closed on the thermometer keeping the heat in, easy to access and clean stainless drip trough, flavorizer bars provide a nearly charcoal flavor, heats up to 700 degrees in 3-4 minutes at 85 degrees outside temp, smoker burner can be switched on in normal mode providing an additional 8,000 BTU, all burners light nearly instantly with the turn of each knob, tip-up battery lights are very effective and provide a bright white light in the optimum location.
The smoker system is extremely convenient and allows you to control the grill down to the 225 degree range with just the smoker burner on that is ideal for indirect slow smoke cooking ribs, briskets, vegetables. The stainless smoker box is easily removable for cleaning and the top is hinged to provide easy access to allow additional wood chunks/chips to be added during the smoking process.
Rotisserie burner is mounted in the ideal location up along the back center of the interior shell of the unit out of the way. The spit is easily serviceable during cooking and provides an adjustable location for two items approximately 10" diameter.
The only negatives we have seen: discoloration of a small painted area on either side of the main grill cover as a result of the smoke exiting the grill only when the smoker is used, the weight of the unit made it a challenge to get it into place.
I really like this grill! June 23, 2007

This is my third gas grill and by far the best. It really seems built to last and passes the shake test with fying colors as mentioned before. It gets hot very quickly and gives your meat those nice sear lines, the smoker works well, as do those neat grill out handle lights. Packaging was very good, set up is very simple basically remove the grill from carton (takes 2 people as it is very heavy) install the side shelves, flavorizer bars, cooking grates, grease trap and hook up your lp tank and your ready to grill.
Overall I would highly recommend this grill even with the hefty price tag. For me it is a long term investment and is well worth it.

I bought this grill as a replacement for my Vermont Castings VCS5010 when it was damaged in a move. The VC signature series are no longer available and after cooking on this grill I am happy about that.
My Grill arrived without incident and no damage at all. We put it together in about 15 minutes and Weber was smart on the packing, the grill comes on a plastic pallet, but the heaviest parts are in a nice hidden type place in the pallet so you do have to lift the entire 300 lbs to get the grill body out of the crate. I thought this was worth mentioning.
Amazon had the best price but I noticed as I am writing this review the price has increased from last week when I bought it.
I read many reviews and some people had mentioned heat problems, this grill heats to 500-600 in about 10 - 12 mins and cooks like a dream. Very even heat and no flare-ups. We did chicken on bone last night that was marinated all day and used the indirect cooking method, it was awesome very juice and tender, no burnt crisp like before.
This grill is expensive but worth every penny in quality and cooking experiance. I thought I had the best grill with my Vermont Casting but I was very wrong, thank you Weber!

Never owned a gas grill before so I have nothing to compare this to, other than my beat up old charcoal grill. First things first...it arrived in perfect condition...no dents in the doors...no scratches. This thing is built like a tank. Nothing wobbles, shakes, or squeeks. Good solid construction. The hood seems like it could widthstand a mortar shell.
Everything works as advertised. Little if any discernable difference in taste between gas and charcoal. Could it be that those flavorizor bars are more than just a marketing gimmick? Time will tell. Due to my lack of experience with gas, the feature set on this grill far exceeds my ability to take advantage of it. But it will be a fun learning experience. That's all for now.
