Reaching the Summit April 8, 2007

After years of dutiful service, I was finally forced to retire my old Broilmaster. (BTW, my wife somewhat challenges the use of the word "forced") As a proud Weber kettle owner for many years (Both the Performer and a Weber 757001 22 1/2-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, Green), I have long had my sights on an all Weber fleet. I have cooked on Weber gas grills before. It was never a question of quality, but the overall look of the Summit line. Simply put, I hated the wheels. There was just something about that beautiful piece of stainless that appeared to be riding on the deck of a lawn mower. I toyed with getting a drop in, but decided against it. When the 2007 Summit line was previewed, I knew this was the year. The lawn mower wheels were gone.
Within an hour of the grill's arrival at my house, it was assembled. In fact, it probably would have gone faster if I had not stopped every few minutes to photograph my progress. This is a Weber, so I know that this is really a once in a twenty year event. I wanted to relive it.
The construction of the 650 is incredibly solid. The first thing you will notice is that the entire unit is welded together. On your next walk through Lowe's or The Home Depot, notice how many of the grills are simply bolted together. Because the 650 is basically built when it arrives, I unpacked it and assembled the burners, bars, grates, side table, side burner and grease catcher. It used a whopping total of 7 screws...none of them structural.
The instructions, in typical Weber fashion, were easy to follow. Upon moving the grill into position, I was surprised at how easy it moved. I really have no plans to drive it around the backyard when not in use, but it was nice to know that the low-profile wheels were there for more than show. The included ten foot gas line and quick disconnect valve were also a nice touch. Although these features might be more suited for the "stow and go" griller, I found them a nice touch.
With the specified six burners and 60,000 BTU's of heat, I was anxious for my maiden lighting. The knobs on the unit are nicely emblazoned with the Weber kettle symbol and were responsive to my touch. The automatic light system fired up on cue and quickly lit the burners. Although the ignition did take me a little bit of getting used to at first, I blame that on my novice experience with the grill.
In under 10 minutes, I was pumping out 750 degrees. Impressive. I had a bone-in Rib Eye ready to roll and was highly pleased with the results. I know that I will have some great grill moments this summer.
The 650 comes with the rotisserie, smoker box and a side burner. Although I typically smoke and use the rotisserie on the kettles, I know that I will experiment with those features here. The 650 also comes with the Weber 3062101 Grill Out Handle Light that mount on the lid's handle, but I have yet to install them. Although my Dad swears by his, I typically have enough illumination in my grilling area. That, and I just think they take away from the looks of the grill. To me, everything about the 650 screams quality. From the heavy deliberate movement of the lid to the beautiful lines of the grill body, I doubt there is little Weber could have done to improve this. Knowing that Weber is behind the grill is reason enough. I have had nothing put great experience with Weber customer service in the past and know that if I ever do have a problem, it will be taken care of. This summer, the 650 will set the stage for many amazing meals and will act as the backdrop for many more incredible nights.
Finally, the perfect "middle ground" stainless grill May 22, 2007

I had been shopping for a good looking stainess steel grill for a long time. They all seemed to fall into one of two categories:
1) They looked nice and had the right price, but seemed to be of questionable build quality and cooking power. Most of the Sam's/Costco/Kenmore/etc. grills fit this bill for me. I seriously considered these, but they all seemed more built for show than grilling
2) They were perfect but cost $4000 or so by the time I got the size and features I wanted. (Viking, DCS, TEC, etc.) I also seriously considered these but I really didn't want to blow $4K on something that will probably last 5 or 6 years of thorough use.
Then came this grill - the first weber that looked good enough for my patio. It is not quite as "stunning" in looks as a viking since the back and sides of the cart are painted and the sides of the grill are cast alumnium, but it still exudes quality in a way the Sam's grills never will. Most importantly, it is very easy to use and cooks great. This grill, when preheated will cook at 700+ deg using natural gas. This is great for searing steaks (albeit not quite as hot as the really expensive grills).
The grill also comes with features you often have to add to other grills (grill lights, rotisserie, quick disconnect hose). Assembly took me about an hour or two by myself (only need help getting it out of the box - the rest is ok for one person). You don't need to pay for assembly unless you are truly useless with tools (as in you don't know how to tighten a screw).
Delivery from Amazon using standard "Eagle Logistics" was MUCH faster than I thought based on the estimate. It arrived in a few days (3 or 4) after my order was placed.
For the money, I cannot imagine doing better. I use it 3-4 times a week now and it is great.

This grill is awesome. Works great. The smoke chip compartment is well worth the extra cost. We are eating more at home these days which will eventually pay for the grill!
Great Grill, Great Buy June 12, 2010
We grill at least 3-4 times a week in the summer and we love it. The only downside is the side burner. Maybe our understanding of what they are used for was higher than expected. If you want to keep something warm, it is adequate. Other than that we use it year round and love the diversity and range of temperatures available.

I am still exploring what this grill can do, but right out of the gate I challenge the rotisseire with two full chickens. Its first test was a flying success. Next where burgers and they were cooked with ease. I did some real thick New York Strips, and they were easily controlled so that I could have them med. rare. No cold or hotspots yet noted. The lighted handle are a nice touch.
