The Bottom Line

This grill has been discontinued. See Weber Summit Gold A4 for the closes match. Quite possible the best of the mass market grills on the market. To move up in quality and appearance you'll end up spending a lot more money. However at $1,000 for a basic model you can find grills that cook as well for less. Of course, they wouldn't be a Weber that looks like this.

Pros

  • Even, high heat from 4 stainless steel burners.
  • Quality construction with double layer stainless steel for insulation
  • Good warranty.

Cons

  • Higher price, partly driven by the Weber name.
  • Limited features for the price on this unit. More features drive up the price.

Description

  • 44,000 BTUs from four stainless steel burners.
  • Stainless steel "flavorizer bars" burn off almost all the grease that drips from foods.
  • 504 square inches of primary grilling area with 700 square inches of total cooking space.
  • Dual layer stainless steel lid that keeps heat in and keeps the outside cooler.
  • Slide out grease catcher for easy cleaning.
  • Enclosed bottom storage space.
  • Fold up side work tables.

Guide Review - Weber Summit Silver A

This grill has been discontinued. It has been replaced by the Weber Summit S-420.

Not only is this a great cooking grill with plenty of even heat, but it is a great looking grill with good control and versatility. If you consider this the base unit you can add up to $700 more by the time you get to the top, but either way this series is a collection of really great, high quality grills.

The four burner configuration gives you great versatility in your grilling. You can almost surround foods grilled indirectly or you can create a wide range of temperature zones for grilling all kinds of foods simultaneously. The ability to grill one thing hot and fast while grilling something slower and lower is a great feature.

Weber products today have great warranties and a long history behind them. Take care of this investment and it will last a long time.
