Weber Summit FS38 E Natural Gas Grill - Black - 1500040

We just cooked the most tender and juicy filets on our new Weber Summit 5 burner FS38 S grill and they were amazing. We ordered the grill online and had it shipped to us. Delivery was great. Assembly wasn't to bad. It is recommended you have three people to assemble which I agree. The only issue was that the assembly instructions were a bit vague which took us a little longer than we thought it should. There is a help line to call if needed but we figured everything out. The heat distribution was excellent and everything cooked evenly. We ge rotisserie attachment works really well and the chicken was moist and very good. Can't wait to try a pizza next. The quality of the grill is excellent and it is heavy duty. Weber definitely lived up to their reputation with this grill.

Exceptional! Everything you could ever want in a home grill. Just wish the whole Base was stainless steel.

The Weber Summit FS38 gas grill is everything you will need to cook outside. Assembling the grill wasn't too bad, but the directions may be confusing to some. You definitely need at least one person to help with a few of the steps. The grilling area is huge, and the heat distributes evenly with the 5 burner design. One of the added bonus features is the rotisserie, which I haven't had a chance to use yet, but will in the near future. The spindle stores nicely in the back of the grill, and the mechanism that turns the rotisserie, flips down in one of the side shelf's for easy storage. There is also a smoke box that you can put wood chunks in to get the nice Smokey flavor with some of your meals. Once again, this stores easily under the grill. My favorite feature is the infrared broiler that is mounted to the top of the grill. This allows you to crisp the edges of your meats, but leave the inside exactly how you want it. This feature is great for beef tips. We received the pizza stone, and it works great. Be sure to get a pizza screen and a pizza peel, it will make your life a lot easier. The pizzas turned out amazing. Be sure to follow the directions, and make sure the pizza stone is nice and hot before throwing your pizza on it. We are also getting the griddle top, but haven't received it yet. There is a burner on the side which is convenient for whatever else you need to cook that you can't cook on the grill. The temperature gauge is spot on, as l used a separate gauge, and they were exactly the same temp. Some of the luxury features are the stainless steel grates, that clean easily, the tank gauge, which weighs the tank and tells you how much gas you have, the soft close doors on the bottom. The drip pan is underneath, so it's easily accessible. Lastly, there are LED lights in the knobs, so you can clearly see what temperature you want if you are cooking at night. The warranty is better than any grill I have ever owned. Overall, this grill is everything you need to have a great party, and will satisfy your cooking needs on a daily basis. My family and I will enjoy the Weber summit for many years to come.

Has all the features and capability one would expect from a top-of-the-line Weber grill, but I cannot give it 5-stars due to clear QC, packaging, and shipping issues: 1. There are cut lines (shallow gouges?) in the stainless along the edges of where every piece clear packaging film was attached. These are not "buffing out" and it is taking aggressive scrubbing to even begin to remove them. 2. The advertisement sticker on the outside right shelf left a lot of very hard to remove residue after removing 3. One hinge pin (and the cotter pin that should have kept it in place) for the top was loose inside the packaging and caused me to think I had been shipped a defective unit (it was trapped underneath the feet in the box!) 4. One screw was detached from the top hinge on the right door, causing the door to wildly swing open - this was also loose inside the shipping box. 5. 2 of the burner igniters were not locked in properly causing the 2 left-most burners to not ignite (except with manual flame or via adjacent burners) - I was able to fix this by comparing them to the other 3 burners. One non-packaging issue would be that igniting the infrared burner is a huge pain. I understand the thermocouple needs to be sufficiently warm for the gas to stay open, but holding the knob down (and listening to the sparker) for 30s (at least)? And then maybe it will stay on? It feels extremely awkward.

This grill is the Cadillac of grills. The assembly was easy. The grates are heavy duty. The lights make it easy to cook at night. Cooking on the grill is a breeze. The heat was distributed evenly throughout the grill. Cleaning the grill afterward was easy. The grease catcher made it easier. The rotisserie worked amazing. The pizza was perfection. I need to get lessons to cook on such an amazing grill.

The grill is incredibly well built. It had a very solid feel and the materials feel heavy and durable. It was easy to put together with clear instructions. I love how well thought through every aspect of this grill is. For example, like a fuel gauge so you know how much propane you have. The knobs light up and also there are internal lights on the hood so you can see what you are cooking as the evening wears on. Such a thoughtful feature, as the hood light works like a fridge and only turn on when you open the hood, saving you power. The rotisserie stores away on the back nicely. The grill really lets you enjoy the warmer weather. That to the side burner and the special grate system you can cook everything outside. Which means no one has to stay behind inside to make sides ect. The broiler and the sear station gave me the best crust I have ever achieved on a steak. My wife has some dietary restriction, but this grills gives some many options, such as using a wok. We have a tradition of pizza and wings for movie night. Now we can make pizza outside and do wings in a basket mount of the rotisserie. This grill is like an outside kitchen, you can make anything you want and everyone can we outside, no one has to babysit side dishes in the kitchen.

The grates come out easily, and these two accessories should fit in perfectly. I will do a separate review on them when they do come in.

The Weber Summit FS 38 five burner natural gas grill is amazing. I've never seen a grill like this before. It's extra large size allows you to grill for a larger quantity of people. It offers a rotisserie, which fits several large cuts of meat as well as multiple chickens. There's also a top down broiler, which makes amazing steaks. it also has a side burner to use for a variety of things such as sides, sauces, Abels and Moore. If you plan to do any late night grilling, the grill also has built-in back, lit LED lights. There's also a scale to let you know when it's time to change your propane tank. we use this last weekend and were able to cook for over 10 people and had plenty of room to spare. The grill has everything you're looking for and more.

This grill is impressive. It's quite heavy and large, but it appears to be built to last a long time. I've cooked steaks, chicken and ribs on it so far and the heat evenly distributes and cooks everything perfectly. The grates are heavy and made out of steel and with a grate cleaner, they appear to be cleaned well. I haven't used many if the features yet, but the warmer weather is upon us.

This grill is a total powerhouse! Have the top down broiler, the side burner, and the built-in rotisserie has made our meals gourmet quality. We've grilled veggies, a pizza, and pork tenderloin so far and everything was next level delicious! This is a bigger sized grill so you need to have adequate space. Some assembly was required but it was very easy to put together with just me and my husband.
