Weber 1710001 Summit S-420 Propane Gas Grill, Stainless Steel

   In October of 2007 we upgraded to the Summit 420 and gave my old Weber to my daughter. I'm just now writing a review of our new grill because I wanted to know what I was talking about. First I have to say, the old Weber (a Genesis purchased in 1987) was in top shape having only replaced the grills and flavor bars. Second I have to say, my new grill makes grilling far more relaxing regardless of what we grill. From catfish to the finest fillets, it provides the most consistent great texture and taste. The ability to adjust four different burners from side to side without moving the food is the magic in this grill. The grill is a perfect size for my wife and I, or up to 10 people. Chicken wings are the all time favorite in our family and on this grill I can brown the outside of the wing, fully cook, and then crisp them before taking off (not one burnt spot), without opening the grill but one time. You can cook brisket at 200 degrees, grill shrimp and veggies at 300, bake catfish at 400, and grill steaks at 500 degrees. The stainless steel grills are easy to clean, the light works great at night, and it sure seems like I'm using less propane. Service has always been awesome. I truly feel that if you were lost and you called Weber customer service, they'll try to help you. As far as the downside: I haven't found anything negitive from grilling on this grill at least twice a week for almost a year.

   Easy to assemble, worked immediately, gets super hot. I strongly suggest this brand, it replaced a 20 year old weber that still works!

   After much reaserch my spouse and decided on the Weber S-420. So far, it has been excellent. It was delivered 98% assembled so as soon as we had the natural gas line hooked up, we were ready to roll. So far steaks, burgers and hot dogs have been cooked, all to perfection. Great grill marks, too! It cooks quicker than my former BBQ so I do have to watch it as things tend to get done sooner. We are quite plesed with this BBQ!
