Weber Summit FS38 S Propane Gas Grill - Stainless Steel - 1500028

Great product. Weber #3in the last 40 years! Have convinced many friends to get a Weber!

I almost never write reviews, but this Weber called for it. This is the second Weber Summit grill I have owned. Because I liked that model so well, I thought I was buying another excellent unit. I should have done more research. I didn't anticipate all the changes. Changes not for the better. This iteration of the Summit does not have a sear station. The smoker is not integrated with its own burner. This new smoker box sits on the grills and doesn't get as hot. It takes longer to start smoking and takes up space on the grates. I don't know what I am going to do when I want to add a little smoke to the meat on the rotisserie. Obviously an afterthought. I don't like having to remove the grills to use the rotisserie. If I wanted to broil meat, I would use the broiler in my stove. The top-down broiler is too small. It is messy and requires a drip pan. This grill is way overpriced. I would not buy it again

I had a Summit for 20 years and now bought this one. What a pleasure to cook on the Summit. Perfect cooks every time!!!

This 2026 summit FS38 S grill replaces my 2012 summit natural gas grill that gave excellent service until this year, when it the grills could no longer be supported in place because the frame had rusted out. 5 burners instead of 6, but the same if not more BTUs. I can't get the new sear burner to light but I have a sear griddle so it doesn't matter. And I will never use the rotisserie. But I bought this grill so I can continue to grill all winter on the coldest subzero days.

This grill is a beast. Cooks great and has ample room to multiple items at once.

Assembly was easy and it fired right up and the steaks were perfect. I haven't tried the inferred broiler yet but I am definitely going to try it out.

Had to get gas regulator replaced. Doors pre-installed but one came off with minimal use

Upon taking delivery of this $4,200 Grill, 1 of the control knobs was rubbing, did not turn smoothly. I contacted their Customer Support, and was advised to take pictures and a video. Even a short video was too large to send by email, and I kept going back and forth with them. Given that the grill was only a few days old, I considered this to be their problem, and by their emails, they were essentially making it my problem. In the most recent email they've advised me make some adjustments to some screws, but with no clear explanation of where the screws were located. I'm still waiting for an answer to that question This is the 3rd Weber Summit grill I've owned, and part of my buying decision was the outstanding customer support that I've received over the years. Apparently, good customer support is no longer part of their business model.

The Summit grill has been my dream grill for atleast 10 years. I finally got one and my ownership has been overshadowed by poor workmanship and poor materials. For starters my thermometer straight out of the box was skewed to one side and not level, the knobs aren't centered in their holes and 2 of them even rub the side of the bezel around the knobs. There's pits in the handle that I'm not satisfied with also. After you get past the poor build quality it does cook great, I can get 650° out of it easily to sear but I've been finding I use the top down broiler to do my reverse sear now. Overall I'm not sure id buy again. I wanted this thing to be the crown jewel of my patio but until I get out there and adjust some things I don't even want to show it off to my friends and neighbors.

I really like the new Summit grill. My previous grill was a Summit. It lasted me 20 years and my neighbor is now using it. The improvements made are obvious when you see the grill and all seem positive at this point. I have not used all the features yet, however everything works just fine. What's lacking is better documentation to provide guidance for how to use the grill. Weber used to include a nice spiral 3 ring binder with complete cooking instructions and cook times for different foods. They also included recipes that were very simple and delicious. I still have mine from my first Weber grill. Bring back the binder! Or at least a cooking guide specifically designed for the Summit. Given the current price, I think it's a reasonable expectation that a comprehensive cooking guide be included.
