Great (big) Grill!
I've owned an older red hood Weber Genesis Propane grill for the last 14 years (bought new from Home Depot in '97) and it's still going strong, but I moved it up to our cabin last year and didn't have anything at home to grill with. I've been looking at various grills for the past 5 years online and in the local BBQ store and finally spent the money on this Summit. Webers have a reputation of lasting a long time as I experienced with my older one, and warranty to back it, and the build quality is top notch on this Summit. It arrives on a pallet and needs 2 adults to lift the grill off the plastic base, so factor that in when it's delivered. You can't do this with only one person.
I got my Summit E670 yesterday and my first impression was "wow, it's big!!". It assembled very easily (only 7 screws) and after getting 2 new propane cylinders+fills I cooked up my first dinner on it last night. It only uses 1 20# bottle, but I like to keep 2 in rotation in case I run low, or in...
Jaw dropping looks, mouth watering foods
Moved into our new house in spring of 2009 and I had plans of buying a nice Weber shortly thereafter. My plans were shot when we got a stainless steel Aussie gas grill as a housewarming present. WTF! This isn't what I was going to buy, and I don't want it, take it back I thought to myself. Well I dealt with it and used if for about 2 years. The Aussie naturally rotted away from the inside out because it was an inferior product, and I was sure to help speed the process along every chance I could.
At the start of the 2011 summer, I couldn't take it. The Aussie wouldn't light nor stay lit. It was disgusting, flare ups were a common occurance, and I wanted my Weber. Started doing some shopping. Was really leaning towards a nice Genesis series as I thought the Summit at retail pricing was out of our price range. Then I really started researching the Genesis VS. Summit series. The Summit was truly magnificant in its features, appearance and most importantly...
The perfect grill
I looked high and low, far and wide to find the perfect grill. A few years back I bought a "members professional" grill from a wholesale club. I thought I had finally bought my last grill. I was wrong. The exterior and grates may have been stainless, but drip pan, burners, screws, legs and other parts rusted out. What a waste of money and time. Not with this beauty! I was in awe of the quality of the construction. You could see they paid attention to every little detail. I know this grill will not rust out even in our humid environment. I cannot say enough about the quality of this grill; it has everything I could ever hope for in a grill.
And the most important part of a grill - how well it grills. The sear zone of this thing is incredible. I am amazed at how hot my grill gets. I sear mouth-watering steaks at 650 degrees. I had an 'infared' burner on my other grill. It got up to maybe 500 degrees. Nowhere close to the Weber. I ruined dinner the first time...
