The design of this model has open gaps on both the side of the grill that allows rain and food drippings to leak directly down into the bottom cabinet. The wiring and bottom of the cabinet are now soaked with each rain (yes, I cover the grill) and food drippings as I lift food on and off the grill. I was told that this was an intentional design feature to allow for airflow. My previous Weber Summit lasted 10+ years with a sealed frame (the same as every other barbeque from all other manufacturers). A simple Google search exposes that this is a common complaint with this high-end model. One company sells filler strips to cover the openings. It's a shame to have to buy aftermarket parts to fix a design mistake from this premium brand.
I loved the first Built-in Summit for my home in Arizona that I bought a second for my home in Illinois!
The grill had a few issues when it arrived. After a number of calls to the seller I was put in touch with a knowledgeable person. He assigned a repairman who did a great job.
I bought this to replace my old Summit Series that rusted out at the base. This version has HUGE openings on the side that will let all the rain water fall right into the cabinet, where electronics are. And, animals to stroll right in. I have no idea how I'm going to cover these. Such a colossally bad design. I'm truly shocked. And other reviews online seem to say the same. I wish I had seen them beforehand.

Thank you for your feedback. So sorry to hear about your experience. We do have filler strips that would cover this gap in the side. Our Care team is here to help. Please look for an outreach from us soon. Thank you!
I can't say enough good things about Weber and my recently received Summit SB38 that replaces my nearly 20 year old Summit Platinum. I loved my old grill but this new Summit SB 38 with new Weber grill technology is a significant upgrade. The electronic starters, the new PureBlu burners and the overhead infrared sear burner are amazing. The included frame kit is also a nice feature. This unit is bigger than my old Summit Platinum and I had to make a couple of slight modifications to my grill island to fit the new grill but no biggie. The SB 38 is a fantastic grill and I'm looking forward to years of enjoyment.
Love this grill. Heats up quickly. Pretty even heat distribution. Comes with the smoker box which I use all the time. The last Weber is about 12 years old and I wanted to upgrade. A little pricey but great choice.
The bottom of my last Weber rusted out which required total replacement of the grill. The new one has large openings on each side that allows rain water to pour down inside the cabinet area. I am concerned the new one is going to rust out even sooner. Also the electronics and batteries are right in the path of all the water. Looks like a poor design to me. It would have been nice if the new grill had the same dimensions as the old one. I had to cut out 2" of granite to make it fit.
Was very happy with my 660 summit but it was rusting out.I had a red top weber prior I had rebuilt 2 times got almost 20 years out of. So I decided it was time to replace after about 10years. Not completely installed yet the SB38S seams to be well made,a little deeper,and little narrow I will have to alter not a problem.im a little concerned about the top sides are opened,am I missing something,is there any missing parts or do I have to fabricate a cover so water,snow does not enter and rust out my grill again.please advise so I can complete installation or is there a stainless plate you sell to fill the gap. I will give an updated rating when I complete the installation. If i have to fill the gap will it affect operation.

We appreciate your honest feedback on the Summit SB38 S Built-In Gas Grill. It is very important to us. Our Care Team will reach out to better assist you with your concern. Please look for an outreach email from us soon. Thank you!
I have been looking at this grill to replace my old built in grill at my home in AZ for a long time. It required a significant amount of rework to my island in order to accommodate this design, but I am familiar with the quality of this product and felt it worthwhile as it would last a long time. I was disappointed at the condition the grill was delivered with scratches of the frame and the visiguard on the doors could not be removed. I thought we resolved that problem years ago. The store replaced the entire grill and I had them remove all the protective visiguard before delivery so I don't know how difficult it was to remove. The second unit arrived in great shape and I had it installed. As I expected the overall function of the grill is perfect. I am very happy with the temperature control and heat distribution for cooking a variety of dishes.
Questions & Answers
Hi Churrasco. These would be questions for Weber Customer Care - https://www.weber.com/US/en/contactus.html
Asked by Churrasco | Answered by WesleyHi Ted. Weber does not show exactly where the gas connection is located. However, they do point out that the rigid gas line is 58 inches and show most connections on the left side of the grill. I'm attaching the "assembly" manual since page 20 (Step 21) diagrams the gas connection. https://digital-assets.weber.com/documents/8652245_031424.pdf?fm=pdf
Asked by Ted | Answered by WesleyHi ForMaine. The built-in Weber Summit requires anchoring/securing due to being top-heavy. For safety reasons, we would not suggest using it before it is installed into cabinetry.
Asked by ForMaine | Answered by WesleyHI BG. Weber requires a specific connection for using bulk propane that they only sell themselves.
Asked by BG | Answered by WesleyHi PSH. Please give our sales team a call at 877-743-2269 and they can help you with the appropriate configuration.
Asked by psh | Answered by WesleyHi Rob. The Weber Summit is designed to be covered on all sides, including the back.
Asked by Rob | Answered by WesleyHi Joe. Weber provides openings in the bottom shelf of the grill to allow running the gas line.

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.
