Weber Summit S-450 Gas Grill

This is possibly the best of the "mass market" grills on the market. To get more quality and appearance in a grill you'll end up spending a lot more money. However, at about $1,950USD (though you can find it for around $1,600USD) there are a lot of grills that cook very well for less. Of course, they wouldn't be a Weber and won't have this kind of quality or durability. Weber provides an excellent warranty and support, so you'll get a good 10 years out of this grill. This unit is a full function four burner grill with side burner and infrared rear mounted rotisserie burner.

The Summit line of gas grills represents the best of what Weber has to offer. This, the smallest of the Summit line, is an attractive and capable gas grill. What you get for around $1,950USD is a four burner, 48,800 BTU gas grill with a side burner and full rotisserie system including rear mounted infrared rotisserie 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.

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, 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. I cute feature, and the only real gimmick to this grill.

This grill comes with Weber's new tuck-away rotisserie system that mounts the motor on a drop down platform on the side table and gives you space to store the rod and forks in the cabinet. [

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 great 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.

Don't need the rotisserie and smoker burner? Try the Weber Summit S-420. Want a built in sear burner? Try the Weber Summit S-470.
