Ive have the exact same grill and luckily at Lowes I was able to buy it for $1700 because it was a floor model. The weber summit is hands down the best grill ive ever owned and used. Make sure you buy the natural gas version like this so it takes the headache out of using propane. My favorite features are the sear station burners which take a little practice to perfect and the built in Rotisserie. Ive done everything from 2 full sized chickens to game hens, turkeys and tritips. I know the grill is exspensive but its well worth it due to how high quality everything is and ease of use and cleaning. If you're thinking about buying this and your not sure about spending the money do it. Webber grills will last a lifetime so if you're unsure about it just know its the best grill you'll ever buy. Ive had mine for about 5 years now and nothing has broken. Just make sure after every 3 times you use the grill to clean it and make it brand new you leave everything in the grill and turn on every burner for at least 30 minutes or until you get a white ashy build up. What i do to power steam clean the inside is once its done the self clean burn off you take a bottle of water and use a nail to poke a hole in the cap so you can spray it on your grates and since it will still be really hot the water turns to steam and it gets the toughest of burnt on stains off. Hope this helps you decide on this grill and you will never regret it in any way 😉

Thank you for an in-depth review; I have an S-670 and the one thing, beyond anything else, that I love about the unit is the evenness of heat, no need to dance the meat around the whole grill to make sure it gets enough heat, just lay it on there, flip it as required and it cooks perfect every time.

Does the smoke box add noticeable flavor? Thanks for the great review.

Would like a video on How to use for specific foods. (i.e. temp settings, etc.)

I've had my S-470 since 2008. Best grill ever. I've had to replace parts, some under warrantee, some not. Customer Service has been great. I agree with everything you said. I would add one thing to the dislike category; The side burner is too hot. It's great for boiling a large pot for corn-on-the-cob, but not a iron skillet for bacon and eggs.

The most important feature to me is that it’s made in North America. I’m deciding between this grill or the Napoleon Prestige pro which is made in Canada. The Napoleon does have a charcoal basket feature and that would be nice. Great review, Thank you.

I'm a charcoal fan myself but gas is definitely more convenient. Best bet have one of each.

[Sebelfisch]

Great review and I can relate to everything you said!

I was wondering how hot your unit gets? Mine „only“ reaches 700 degrees with all burners on :(

Weber Summit is an excellent grill, but as Canadians you should look into a Napoleon. After cooking on Weber for 50 years they got me to switch. Prestige Pro 825.

The link for the grill floss goes to the gloves. Could you post a link to get to the grill floss

[rickfennell]

Thats the e-470 not the s-470. The s-470 is stainless✌👍

Is this an advert? Nice review by why keep calling meat proteins. Just say meat!! I don’t know if you are trying to not offend certain people but as my grandmother used to say to me “say what you mean and mean what you say”. Words to live by imo.
