The Weber Summit FS38 S delivers just that with a built-in design featuring a premium burner system - with a top-down infrared broiler - and integrated lighting for anytime cooking. Durable, heavy-duty stainless steel cooking grates retain high heat and leave steakhouse-level sear marks. Its compatibility with the Weber Crafted® Outdoor Kitchen Collection allows you the freedom to experiment with different cooking styles. Available in natural gas or liquid propane, so you can conveniently experience Weber's best in your backyard.
Achieve Steakhouse Sear with Infrared Broiler Precision
The top-down infrared broiler directs blazing heat onto the surface of your meat, creating a beautifully even, edge-to-edge caramelized crust while locking in juicy, tender flavor. This restaurant-style technique is ideal for steaks, chops, and more - finishing proteins with that signature sizzle and sear. Delivering 16,000 BTUs of focused heat, the infrared burner quickly reaches intense temperatures, mimicking the high-end broilers used in commercial kitchens. It's perfect for reverse searing, flash-finishing, or adding a final char to grilled items. With this broiler, you get chef-level results without leaving your backyard.
Versatile Rotisserie for Evenly Cooked Meats
Designed for performance and convenience, the built-in rotisserie system slowly rotates multiple large cuts of meat beneath a top-mounted infrared burner, producing a crispy, golden exterior while retaining tender, juicy flavor throughout. It's ideal for preparing everything from whole chickens to pork loins and prime rib - bringing that signature, slow-roasted quality to your own backyard.
The high-powered infrared broiler delivers direct, radiant heat from above, minimizing flare-ups and promoting even browning. A dedicated motor ensures smooth, continuous rotation, while sturdy forks and a counterbalance provide secure support for larger roasts. When you're done, the spit rod tucks neatly away for a clutter-free grill space.
Infuse Dishes with Rich Smoky Flavors
Enhance your gas grilling experience with the included oversized stainless-steel smoker box, designed to deliver authentic wood-smoked flavor - no standalone smoker required. Just load it with your preferred wood chips - like hickory, mesquite, or applewood - and allow the burner heat to naturally release that signature smoky essence. Built for durability and convenience, the smoker box is easy to clean and made to last. Its versatile design allows it to be placed anywhere on the grill for even flavor distribution across meats, vegetables, and more. When not in use, the box removes effortlessly for safe, compact storage.
Expand Your Culinary Repertoire with Weber Crafted®
The Summit FS38 S works seamlessly with the Weber Crafted® Outdoor Kitchen Collection, unlocking a new level of versatility. Swap out the standard grate for custom-fit grillware to roast, bake, steam, sear - even stir-fry. Keep in mind that the Weber Crafted® frame and accessories are sold separately, so be sure to include them with your order if you're ready to explore an expansive range of outdoor cooking possibilities. Whether you're craving wood-fired pizza, sizzling fajitas, or flaky seafood, this innovative system transforms what a gas grill can do. With Weber Crafted®, your backyard isn't just for grilling - it's your new favorite kitchen.
Grill Anytime with Nightvision LED Lighting
Grill confidently after dark with bright, built-in LED lighting that shines directly onto the cooking surface of the Summit FS38 S. Whether you're searing steaks or checking for doneness, the added visibility ensures precision and safety - even in low-light settings. No need for flashlights or guesswork. These energy-efficient LEDs not only enhance nighttime grilling but also add a sleek, modern touch to your setup, especially the backlit control knobs. Designed to last, they provide reliable illumination with minimal maintenance, making your outdoor kitchen more functional and inviting long after the sun goes down.
Consistent Heat with PureBlu Burners
The PureBlu burner system in the Summit FS38 S features 4 unique, tapered burner tubes that generate consistent pressure and deliver even heat across the 681 square inches of grilling surface. That's 4 burners at 16,250 BTU each, for a total of 65,000 BTUs for efficient power. Flames are directed above the raised gas ports, while food debris falls below, minimizing clogging and ensuring the grill lights every time.
This burner system not only helps maintain reliable ignition but also contributes to longer burner life and reduced maintenance over time. Enjoy steady, high-performance heat across the spacious grill surface that can hold up to 33 burgers or 25 steaks.
Side Burner Adds Flexibility for Sauces and Sides
The side burner on the Summit FS38 S opens up new possibilities for outdoor cooking. Use it to simmer sauces, sauté veggies, or boil water - no more back-and-forth trips to the kitchen. It's ideal for tasks that require finer heat control than the main grill, making it perfect for preparing delicate dishes alongside your grilled favorites. From heating up baked beans to crafting a flavorful reduction, the side burner lets you handle it all right there at the grill. It's a practical way to keep your entire meal outdoors and your cookout running smoothly.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction for Longevity
Built to go the distance, this grill features durable stainless steel construction inside and out - engineered to withstand the rigors of the outdoors and the test of time. The sleek stainless steel exterior resists rust and corrosion, while the heavy-duty stainless steel cooking grate offers long-lasting performance and easy cleanup after every meal.
Beneath the surface, stainless steel burners deliver consistent heat and reliability, even after repeated use. And for added versatility, the generously sized smoker box - also crafted from stainless steel - infuses food with rich, smoky flavor without compromising durability. It's a rugged, ready-for-anything grill designed for serious outdoor cooking.

The grill works great, however when delivered there were several stickers plastered all over the grill from Weber advertising different features. These took hours to remove the adhesive. The platforms off the grill are weakly attached such that if one tries to lift the grill it bends the metal (this was done by the third party who delivered the grill.
Bought the new summit grill because the old Weber I had for 16 years had parts replaced but was still operating good. This new grill cooks food to perfection. It's amazing built like a tank. Weber makes the best grills. I have bought other grills like Nex grill which never last long
Love this grill! I waited a long time to get my "forever" gas grill, and I'm so glad I did my research. The versatility of this beast is flat out amazing! The infrared sear zone, the built in rotisserie and the sear grate, the pizza stone and the griddle inserts make this the most multifunctional grill I've ever owned.

I am not new to the Summit model, as I owned the Summit S-670 S for 17 years (I swapped out the cook box and control manifold after about 10 years). The FS38 S is very close to my previous S-670 S purchase. Some notable differences are in the door (hinges versus pivot corners), the grease tray, the IR burner (top parallel to the grill versus top perpendicular to the grill), and the smoker box (sits on top of the grill surface without a dedicated burner versus a dedicated burner). Overall, I am very pleased with the FS38 S grill performance and burner accuracy. However, starting the IR burner required relearning, and it necessitated contacting Weber for some help, which they provided. The issue I encountered was that when I went to turn on the burner, the expected starter clicked. However, the burner knob needed to be held down for about twenty seconds (the starter was still clicking, even though the IR burner was getting hot) for the burner to start fully. Due to the burner being positioned upside down, the glow of the IR burner can't be easily seen. I understand the intent of having a broiler-like capability, but I consider the starting process a bit wonky, and improvements to that design should be considered. I purchased the full-size griddle insert, which is claimed to fit the Genesis 300 and Summit grills, and the Weber website offered it as a purchase add-on option when I bought the FS-38 Summit grill. The griddle only covers four of the five burners, which was a surprise and not what I would consider a full-size griddle for the Summit FS-38. The other small concern I have is when cooking bacon with this griddle and pushing the bacon grease off the griddle, the grease hits the fourth burner, causing a grease flare-up. The handle grill lights are positioned right and left, flush with the grill hood edge. There is insufficient light for the grill center. Lastly, the grill installation document consists entirely of pictures with no written steps, and the BILT app lacked step-by-step voiceovers. I'm an old-school guy and prefer diagrams with step-by-step instructions, regardless of the platform.

Very happy with my new purchase. I am a repeat Weber Summit owner. Our first lasted for many years, but it was time for a new one. Wow! This beast is HOT! Love the new features. Curious why they moved the side burner to the opposite side, but it's just a matter of getting used to that. Nice having the rotisserie built in. The pop up motor and storage for the rod on the BBQ is well thought out. The top burner is insane. When they say sear, they mean it! Great for searing steaks, melting cheese on burgers, etc. Would have been nice to have a more affordable Summit model like they used to. Not sure why they went with only one model after the other line (Genesis) below it. I'm sure it would've been great, but I just felt this one was built far more substantially, and would last longer. Also coming from a summit series I didn't want to go to a lower line after using my other one for so many years. I had the six burner series with side burner and I was concerned that only five zones in this one would not be as hot. Boy was I wrong! This is insanely hot. It will take some time for me to get used to how much hotter this one is than my previous one. I'm sure the old one was just as hot when I first bought it, but after so many years, they don't tend to put out as much heat. The lighted knobs and internal lights are a nice touch. My old model had the plastic lights on the outside on the handle and they constantly suffered corrosion of the battery inside because of poor seals. I feel much more confident that the batteries in this unit, being contained inside the entire handle itself is a much better design. I haven't used some of the other features in this barbecue. I'm not sure if I actually will, but it's nice to have them in case I want them.

Overall very well designed and made with ultra quality materials.
What's not to love about my new grill!! All stainless steel, lighting features for grilling in the evening, propane tank monitor at your fingertips, pull out drippings tray, and soft close doors. The infrared sear station, OMG, far better than my old Genesis grill. I also love the ability to take the center grating out and bring the two smaller grates together for a smaller cooking area. Great design Weber!
I love the versatility of this grill. Being able to utilize it as a grill, rotisserie, and griddle was exactly what I was looking for. The build quality is definitely worth noting as well.
Phenomenal Grill, everything cooks even and the upgrades from 10 years ago are great. Extremely happy with everything that this grill can do. The lighting system that is integrated into the handle I love. All stainless steel makes this grill stand of time with the year round weather it will go through since we live on a lake and our winters are harsh. Thank you for continuing to offer such an incredible quality product.
When moving the grill to my backyard the delivery people used straps underneath the bottom panel from side to side. This resulted in bending of the side panels at the bottom. Even thought there is a flange it is still very week.

Questions & Answers
Hi Questioner. The Weber Summit hood is not spring assisted.
Asked by Questioner | Answered by QuestionerHi grill. Weber uses stainless steel screws throughout the Summit grill. As for materials, Weber uses a cast aluminum fire box, powder-coated back and sides for the cart, and stainless steel for the hood, doors, and side shelf surfaces.

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
