Summit S-470 Propane Stainless Steel

I just bought another Weber 470 grill but this time for propane instead of natural gas because I had moved to an area without natural gas. There was no doubt in m mind with regard to buying another Weber grill. The quality is there and parts should you need to replace anything such as grill grids flavor bars are readily available. Absolutely love the searing burners for perfect grill marks on my steaks and pork chops.The smoker box is awesome especially with its own burner and the rotisserie works great for grilling chickens and pork loins. Great grill - will never own any other.

This is our 2nd one in 12 years. We grill all the time, in any season. Never disappoints.

significantly easier to put together than i was anticipating. gorgeous grill with a ton of features. pricey, but worth every penny.

I was unable to assemble the grill due to an injury. I enlisted my wife's help and she got it together in no time. Did two compound butter stuffed rotisserie chickens within an hour of opening. Perfect.

I purchased this S-470 grill on 04/24/2017 so, a little over 4 years later, my review: Following my own motto... "buy the right one the first time and you'll never have to buy it again" (motto created after buying the cheap ones) I bought this grill because I wanted a grill that was built tough and made to last. After 4+ years, it still works and looks like new and I grill weekly if not more often -- even in the winter when I have to shovel a path to the grill! I just keep it clean and covered when not in use and have had zero problems. Is it worth the extra $$$$ to buy a Summit grill? Yes! Hands down, the best grill I've ever owned and fully expect it will be a family heirloom after I'm gone - lol. My only wish is for attached, matching side cabinets so I could store all my grilling accessories. I guess I'll be making my own.

This is the second Weber grill of this model that I own. That should be testimonial enough but let me just say this grill is fabulous. I love it for for bbq-ing everything! It is an absolute perfect companion to our Weber kettle grills. I like that this grill heats up quickly and that the flame is adjustable. Love the lighting and the rotisserie storage on this newer model. We even bbq pizza on it!

I wanted to use the grill a few times before writing this review. The grill is awesome and I do not experience the flame ups normally experienced on the Weber Genesis. I really enjoy the smoke box. The grill cooks very well and my family has commented on how the food tastes a bit better. It is much easier to control the heat on this grill. It is also much easier and faster to clean. There are few items I am disappointed in. Gas valve to left of sear knob is hard to push in when during to light. It also requires the knob to be pulled out after lighting the burner to stop the lighting process. Knob is very rough when turned and does not move as freely as the others. Not sure how to correct this. I travel a lot and have not had time to reach out to your service department. The left door magnet was pushed into the door with just the corner of it still holding the magnet in place but it would not hold the door close. This was corrected by removing the bottom riveted trim panel, removing the magnetic holder from door and reinstalling. Trim panel was reinstalled. Doors are very crooked and could not be aligned with just sliding the doors in the bottom grooves. A washer had to be placed under the right door around the retaining pin to align it to the height of the other door. Both doors had to be slide to the far left to make them look symmetrical.

Grill is very nice. It is getting older and needs some replacement parts. The web site for parts support is basically useless. Even when entering model number (which is not enough alone) and serial number (required if you want to get close). Then almost unreadable diagrams that are not well linked. It will take 20-30 minutes to get something ordered that should have been a few clicks IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGHT THEY STILL MAKE IT FOR A CURRENT MODEL. You will endup at third parties where you don't know if it is OEM or poor quality third party parts. VERY POOR. I gave up when I couldn't get what I wanted all from one place. I will endup trying again soon. But I won't even start at Webers site.

So far, love the grill. Everything works well, easy to use, didn't take long to put together and start using. Dear was a new feature that worked well in our inaugural grilling. The integrated smoker box was well received and heats up quickly to add smoke flavor without a lot of hassle. There are 3 things I would fix. First, the handle covers are easily moved and/or displaced making the handles not turn or off aesthetically. Second, the power cord for the rotisserie is just too short. Even if I was closer to my outlet in the old spot for my grill, it would still be too short. Finally, adding information to the page depicting the size of gas fittings and hose would help avoid extra costs when purchasing.

I like almost every aspect of the grill. It is easy to cook on and clean. Rotisserie makes great and juicy poultry. I even made a duck, it came out with crispy skin. One drawback, a full gas bottle is very difficult to place on the hook for the scale.
