Weber Summit FS38 E Natural Gas Grill - Black - 1500040

This is the latest of my many Weber grills. I have had a Summit for more than 15 years and been happy with it. Additionally, I have had Genesis models that have also performed well. However, this grill is a standout! A higher level of build quality and the top sear burner is very useful. Absolutely the best Weber I have had to date!

High quality. Very powerful and many great features.

Cooking on my Weber's is the best! For 27 years I have enjoyed everything that I cook on the numerous different Weber's.

Not only a fine bbq but also a piece of art and craftsmanship. It's stainless steel, exterior and grills is second to none.

Weber Summit- Incredible step up to world class grilling

I wanted to wait a little bit before writing this review. First off, thank you Webber for honoring my warranty claim for my ten-year-old Summit with the fire box burned through. The new Summit grill is a beast! I like the larger cooking surface that a portion will be used for the griddle insert. The Rotisserie works great for a whole chicke. I am looking forward to trying a big hunk of red meat on it. The infrared searing took a little bit of getting used to as it points straight down compared to the older summit that was mounted at more of an angle. It's been great so far for putting a final sizzling touch for steaks and it toasts garlic bread great. You just have to watch it carefully. I love the larger working surfaces and the utility rods for hanging your tools. Now for the not so good. I used my old Summit extensively for cooking/smoking ribs, briskets, pork butts etc. The smoker box for the old Summit sat down in its own slot and was great for producing smoke. The new smoker box is much larger and doesn't sit down in its own slot. It just sits on top of the grate. It has been difficult to get any type of smoke to generate from this new smoke box in that the wood chips will just dry out (despite ample soaking time) and worse the wood chips have caught on fire creating what I consider a hazard. I have not had any luck on the Webber site regarding how to properly set up the smoker box. All and all, I am happy with the new Summit and I am confident it will give me years of trouble-free use.

I've had my Summit built in for like 6 months and it's legendary I have the griddle insert which takes up 4 of 5 burners but in combo with the broiler.. oh man is this great If you know how to properly season cast iron you're in for a treat The build quality and the tough look of the hood impressed guests regularly My concierge was awesome. Buy it if you can can afford It's the best Cheers

This grill is the real deal, and looks beautiful. A fine piece of machinery.

Fantastic grill with great flexibility. The included Weber frame allows us to utilize the griddle and vegetable basket which really enhances our outdoor cooking possibilities.

While I like most of the grill, the clips to hang things on are horrible. They are flimsy and continue to fall off whenever you take the item it is holding. The fact you would put such poorly designed on such an expensive BBQ is really unforgivable.
