Weber Summit 7370001 S-670 Stainless-Steel 769-Square-Inch 60,800-BTU Liquid-Propane Gas Grill


WOW! Worth the money.
First of all, I'd like to start by saying that this grill was nearly $500 cheaper on Amazon than at our local Great Indoors. Plus, shipping was free and arrived in 3 days! Are you kidding me?! It did come on a palette and was quite heavy to move by myself (wife was preggo at the time and I couldn't wait any longer for my buddies to help). I am an experienced backyard warrior and literally ran my old grill into the ground until the burners became brittle and fell apart. I knew that my next grill purchase would be a substantial investment, but I also knew I would use the features. I needed a MANLY grill (cue howling at the moon, grunting)!!

On to the grill review.

great features: it's HUGE, heats evenly, has a rotisserie that actually works quite well, QUALITY construction, easy to clean stainleses grates, and did I mention it's huge. If you are looking for the big daddy of all grills this is it. 6 burners of Weber awesomeness. the wheels roll very easily. I cannot...
Simply the Best...
If you want a gas grill that does it all, the Summit 670 is it. Be sure you get the 670 version 7370001 (propane, the one I bought) or 7470001 (natural gas), which apparently has addressed earlier design issues noted in some reviews & improved the gas conduction system. We've been using ours for several months & found no rain leakage issues (A Weber cover is used when not in service for longer periods).

The construction & materials qualities are first-rate; it's clearly built to last. Performance is superb, especially the rotisserie (very short cord, but you can re-wire it if you are electrically-competent). There's lots of storage space in the lower cabinet. At first I thought the lighted controls to be just a gimmick, but they are really very functional when night grilling. The two handle-mounted LED arrays are also quite useful at night, and their spectral balance is just right: they give a "daylight" illumination appearance to the food. The propane tank level is...
I should have bought the Weber sooner!
My wife and I had been without a gas grill for about 18 months, since we trashed our old grill after it rotted out from the inside. After looking over grill reviews we decided the Weber Summit S-670 was the best bang for the money. Sure, it's over $2000, but the features and size make it more useful to us than a smaller grill (including the Genesis line), and far more cost-effective than the "professional" grills. The key is the ability to control heat, and the Weber allows you to do that with very fine control. With the sear burner, we've done steaks and chops that have a pleasant outside crust, but are still rare to medium-rare in the middle. We made a boneless leg of lamb using the indirect method, and the grill held 400 degrees steady for the entire time we were cooking. We even tossed in some baked potatoes that came out perfect.

Two minor quibbles that prevent me from making this a 5-star review:

1) We received a defective quick-connect fitting (no inner...
