Weber Summit Grill Center Propane Gas Grill With Rotisserie, Sear Burner & Side Burner - Stainless Steel - 291001

We have only used a the grill few times, but seems great. It came in two boxes with dozens of pieces, but the directions were illustrated well and two of us put it together in a couple hours. The lights on the handle, and the propane monitoring sensors are bonuses. We have not tried out the side burner yet. This is a very pricey item, Weber does have a great reputation so I'm hoping this grill lasts as long as the Vermont Castings that this is replacing, (18 years).

A bit flimsy for as expensive a grill as it is. Stainless expands and contracrs making noises as tempersture changes. Doors and hardware of grill center is all flimsy. I kind of expected a solid feel and its not that.

We have just had the grill for a month, so these comments are at an very early stage. This grill is great looking and has great functionality. I've not tried the rotisserie yet, but I love the sear station. The burners start very easily and there are separate controls for each of the 6 main burners plus controls for the 3rd burner of the "sear station", the ceramic rotisserie browning burner, and the smoker chip burner. There are two controls for the side burner (outer and inner ring). The side burner is very large and should provide plenty of heating capacity. Each burner has its own starter and makes it very easy to control all 9 of the burners individually. Of course, the side burner also has its own controls and starter. I like how they designed the controls for the ceramic rotisserie burner, the 3rd sear station burner, and the smoker chip burner with smaller knobs so that it's easy to differentiate them from the regular grill burners. The starter for each of the 6 main burners and 3 auxiliary burners is automatic -- the starter is actuated as you turn the knob to turn the burner on. I highly recommend getting the two-sided griddle which fits exactly over two of the burners at either end. This griddle is good for fish, veggies, and other foods that you want to keep from breaking off and dropping through the normal grates. We've tried the griddle and really like it. We plan to keep it mostly in place because there is PLENTY of regular grilling space with the other four burners. Just be aware, because the griddle is porcelain coated IRON, it's very heavy. We really like the covered storage which is very well ventilated in the rear. The storage space is great for storing utensils, cleaning tools, etc. I would not recommend the storage for storing anything made of paper since it can get rather hot. The large temperature gauge on the lid of the grill is easy to read and situated right in the top center unlike our previous Weber grill where it was on the bottom right (Genesis). So far, the only negative that we have is that there is no full cover available. We like the top cover that is available which is extremely easy to take on an off and has velcro straps to secure it in case of windy conditions. It would be nice to have a full-size cover to use during the winter to protect the bottom part of the grill, but there is none available (at least from Weber). We look forward to many years of grilling with our new Weber Summit Grill Center.

The grill works as expected, but it came with the wrong door, and it has been over a month waiting for it to be swapped and I stalled. It is a shame for such an expensive piece of equipment.

Great Grill! The Sear burner and the IR burner work exceptionally well. My only complaint is that the rotisserie motor is a little underpowered. It had a hard time rotating two 4 lb chickens. It arrived very well packaged (lots of cardboard) and it took a very long time to unpack and assemble.

Great grill…. Love the additional storage and workspace. If you can afford it, well worth the price. The double ring burner really makes a difference. Owned the standard 670 Summit for 15 years. Time for a new one.

Have used this grill several times now for multiple purposes. First off very well made and temperature control is a snap. Rotisserie works like a charm with infrared burner a key asset. Skin gets perfect with that. Sear station does get hot enough to properly sear your proteins. However the smoker box does take at a minimum 10 minutes to start getting smoke so timing is a bit tricky if you're searing then indirect cooking with a slight smoke. I haven't tried actually smoking proteins yet but I do have to say it is very easy to maintain a 225 degree cook. I'm still partial to my kettle for certain applications but overall this grill is very well made and burner controls are very easy to maintain. Indirect cooking is easy as you have quite a large space to cook in.

Fast and awesome service. Good team of workers willing to help that's hard to get this days. Thanks

POOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS , PARTS MISSING FROM NEW PURCHASE , GAS CONTROL KNOB BROKE AFTER 1 USE POOR DESIGN AND MATERIALS USED

My main reason for purchasing the Summit grill center was that my last Weber lasted 23 years...in thar time I replaced the flavoriser bars twice, and the dome thermometer once. It was hands down the best grill I had ever owned. So far, on my new Summit, I have done St. Louis style and baby back ribs, steaks, burgers, and teriyaki chicken. It is scheduled for a major workout tomorrow (4th of July) and I'm sure it will perform flawlessly again. Haven't tried the griddle or the smoker yet, but the pop-up rotisserie and the rotating rib-racks have gotten some use. This Weber went together easily and was perfect right out of the boxes/pallet...it weighs over 400 pounds, so I built a base on wheels to be able to move it easily for cleaning ehind/under it. Really looking forward to a few decades worth of use out of my second Weber!
