Product Description
Take backyard grilling to the next level with the power and performance of Weber's Summit grill. The Summit S-420 gas grill features a stainless steel enclosed cart with chrome-plated cast aluminum handles. An accent-colored painted steel frame and stainless steel shroud with polished handle and trim will shimmer brightly on the patio or deck. A center-mounted thermometer makes it easy to monitor temperatures.

The cooking system, rated at 48,800 Btu's, includes 4 stainless steel burners and Weber's Snap-Jet individual burner ignition system. The cooking grates are equipped with stainless steel, 9-1/2-millimeter rods for easy cleaning and optimal durability. Weber's porcelain-enameled Flavorizer bars eliminate grease-fueled flare-ups that often occur with standard lava rocks and ceramic briquettes. Fats and juices are vaporized when they hit the angled bars and quickly sizzle away, adding delicious, smoky barbecue flavor rather than cauterizing flames. The primary cooking area measures 538 square inches. The handy warming rack area measures 112 square inches for a total cooking area of 650 square inches. The Summit S-420 gas grill also has a 12,000 Btu input flush-mount side burner lets you prepare sauces and side dishes right on the grill.

Other features include 2 stainless steel work surfaces, Weber's Grill-Out handle light, 6 tool holders, an enclosed tank storage area and a precision fuel gauge. Two heavy duty front locking casters and 2 heavy-duty back swivel casters ensure easy transport and safety. The purchase includes a Weber cookbook and is covered by a Weber limited warranty. The tank is not included with liquid propane grills.

Reader Reviews
I bought this grill for my recent let's say, milestone, birthday. I researched grills for over 2 months. I knew Weber was a good brand but wished to consider other options. My research always pointed back to "buy a Weber". Weber's customer service was always rated A-1, they've been bbq/grilling experts for years, and you know they'll be around in the future. The one kicker for the Summit S-420 model over a stainless Weber Genesis S-320 was a comment from a friend of mine with a nice stainless Jenn-Air model found at Lowes. He wished the rotisserie was positioned higher on the Jenn-Air. In my assessment of grills, I had never considered the importance of the rotisserie height. After looking at the Genesis S-320 and Jenn-Air models again, it became clear that a turkey or large roast might not work on the rotisserie of the other models. The Summit S-420 and other Summit grills solves this problem by providing a much higher rotisserie position. Add to that a much taller cover, and you'll see there is greater height for convection around whatever you're cooking. I've grilled hamburgers, salmon, T-bone steaks, and slow cooked smoked pork ribs - all to perfection. No need for a high end smoker feature that permanently reduces grill space - an aluminum foil tray with wood chips atop one of the burners works fine. The Snap-Jet individual burner ignition system was tricky at first. Once you actually read the instructions - Hey I'm a guy - you'll find the technology is easy and reliable. Quality is the final key to this grill. The stainless everything is impressive and high quality. The side-burner is more than an afterthought and mimics many high-end kitchen gas cook-tops. Even the doors of the storage area below are double sided for sturdiness. I usually have a minor stint of buyer's remorse after an expensive purchase. I have none. With this grill I can proudly say it's one of the best purchases/investments I've made in years!!!!
