Great grill overall. Rotisserie bar and motor are good design. Rotisserie supports are flimsy and can allow bar to slip out of motor under load.

Door arrived with slight dent.

By Chuck Roast

from Tomball, TX on 11/9/2007

Pros:

Easy Assembly, Easy To Use, Short Grill Time

Cons:

Tool Hangers

Best Uses:

Patio, Weekend Cooking

Describe Yourself:

Avid Griller

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Construction is very good. Assembly was very fast as the grill came mostly assembled. Per the intructions, I first tried to assemble shelves on the unit and had difficulty getting screws started while working from underneath. I then tried assembling the shelves first and then attaching them to the unit which was much easier.

The only con is the tool hangers could be designed to be stronger.

After assembly I fired it up and Wow! This unit puts out some heat! A few nights later I grilled steaks and some vegetables and they turned out perfect. No need to go out anymore.

I am very pleased and hope to use the rotisserie this weekend.

My expectations were certainly exceeded

Pros:

Easy Assembly, Easy To Use, Solid Quality

Best Uses:

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I was drawn to the looks and sturdy, high quality nature of this grill. It's heavy (over 200 lbs.), but that's a by-product of the cast iron grill unit. This thing carries a premium price but I'm glad I splurged, as I think I'll have it for a long, long time. The lights are a gimick but cool nonetheless.

Note that if you're going from a charcoal grill as I was to this (or any gas) grill, cooking times will be significantly longer.

I was tempted to buy a cheaper, Chinese made grill, lack of quality was evident. My Summit is very high quality, and has ramped up my abilities three fold. It's abilities inspire mine.

By griller in South Florida

from Weston, FL on 7/16/2007

Pros:

Easy To Cleanup, Easy To Use, Short Grill Time

Cons:

Side burner flame control, Sq in limited for price

Best Uses:

Daily cooking

Describe Yourself:

Avid Griller

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This grill does a great job, very even cooking with no cool spots as I am aware of. The light options really do work and are not just a gimmick. I wish the thermometer went to at least 700 since it easily breaks 600 within 10 minutes.

My only real complaint is that the side burner needs some adjusting. The "low" setting is still very hot. Also, for the price, the cooking area could be a bit larger, but for my purposes, it's just fine, I can break out the Weber Q if I need additional area.

On the Eighth Day...

By Beefetarian

from Bothell, WA on 7/2/2007

Pros:

Easy To Cleanup, Easy To Use, Even cooking, Grill space, Quality construction

Cons:

Not 304 Stainless

Best Uses:

Big Volume Grilling, Slow Cooking, Weekend Cooking

Describe Yourself:

Avid Griller

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The only flaw to this grill is that the stainless is not 304. Absolutely superb construction - very sturding and all sub-assemblies line up perfectly. Everything turns out with nice grill marks. The griddle is a must-have accessory - sizzling grilled onions on top of a perfectly seared burger is heavenly. The pop-up grill light and backlit dials are a sexy gimmic, but cool nontheless.

Best buy this year!

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best BBQ grill we owned so far. Efficient, keeps it's temperature very well, less gaz consumption. The only downside is that it is hard to find a cleaning brush for porcelain grid.
