Weber 1780001 Summit S-650 Propane Grill, Stainless Steel

1. Posted: Aug 21 2008

   I purchased the nearly same s-670 grill as a replacement for an older weber and returned it as defective. the replacement also was flawed and was taken back. There is a serious disgusting design flaw on this model. there is a large gap all along the attachment of the grill to the cart that leaves a one inch opening around it. In ANY rain storm water leaks in here, runs down the grease trap catcher and fills the grease pan that sits in the cabinet. In a short time your entire cabinet fills with a flood of rotting greasy overflow and water destroying anything inside. Weber claims to know nothing of this and asked for photos to analyze but if you search on line for this problem you will see many many people have had it and demanded refunds from weber. Their only answer is to leave the grill covered at all times when not in use-- this is just unacceptable for a $2000 grill. Beware!

   I have a Weber Summit S-420, but my comments are applicable to the entire Summit line. Whenever it rains, water flows down the back and enters the internal drip tray, which the flows into a drip pan. The pan overflows creating a greasy mess inside the cabinet. The problem occurs with and without the Weber cover in-place. Weber does not consider this to be an issue!!! I give the grill a 2 star rating because it does do a nice job of cooking - once the mess is cleaned up.

   This grill has everything I wanted in a grill. It gives you the convience of gas, but the taste of a charcoal grill. I love the built in wood box. Today I smoked a Boston Butt roast for 6 hours using indirect heat on about 225 degrees and it turned out great. I would highly recommend this product.
