Guide Review - Weber Summit E-620 Gas Grill
The Summit line of gas grills represents the best of what Weber has to offer. This, the base, 6-burner unit of the Summit line, is an attractive and capable gas grill. What you get for around $1,900USD is a six burner, 60,000 BTU gas grill with a side burner. Weber makes grills that produce great heat, for less fuel and provide a professional level of evenness in cooking. This unit will do pretty much everything you would want a gas grill to do (rotisserie kit optional) from searing a steak to indirectly cooking a turkey.Construction of this grill is excellent. Avoiding lots of stainless steel (except where it really counts), this grill is large made from cast aluminum and porcelain enameled steel. Superior materials and welding make this a great grill that will last for many years.
This unit comes with a handle mounted, battery powered grill light that I find to be more gimmick that practical. If you want a light that will tell you where the chops are on the grill, this will do the job. If you need a light that will show you the color change on shrimp you might be a little hard pressed to see that with this light. A cute feature, and the only real gimmick to this grill.
All in all this is a great grill. Even people who don't like Weber as a company have trouble complaining about this one. If you are serious about grilling and want a grill that will last you a long time, then this is the unit for you.
While you pay for the Weber name, they are the only company that will give you 24/7 support 364 days a years. They also have a great reputation for service. This grill is also available in natural gas.
Want a smaller grill? Try the Weber Summit E-450. Want a rotisserie burner, kit and smoker burner? Try the Weber Summit E-650.
