Weber 2740001 Summit S-470 Grill, Propane, Stainless Steel Review

Weber 2740001 Summit S-470 Grill, Propane, Stainless SteelI started off looking at the TEC Infrared grills at around the $4k price range, after a while, I found I could get a similar grill from Fire Magic, for less money, so was about to go that route.I sent an e-mail to the people at Shopper's Choice, and asked some questions about Infrared grills in general.What I found out was very interesting, and kept me from buying the wrong grill.

It turns out, almost all infrared grills are only good for one thing, cooking steaks, and usually rare to medium rare in taste.I do not like my meat still mooing, so that was out of the question.About the only infrared grill that would allow you to cook other foods, and use other doneness levels, would be the TEC.This is because the TEC version can get down to around 300 degrees, where most other infrared grills have a low temp of only about 500-600 degrees.So, if you only like cooking steaks, then an infrared grill is for you.Otherwise, one of the Fire Magic grills would be a good choice, as you can get both infrared and conventional gas burners, but there is still one drawback to that, over this Weber model.That is, that if you need conventional burners for whatever you are cooking, the grill space over the infrared burner is wasted, and cannot be used for anything else.

After much looking around, and reading reviews of Weber grills (including the one already here on this grill), I decided I wanted one of the Summit grills.I decided on the 470 model, because 4 main burners was more than enough for what I wanted to do, and our family isn't huge, so the added space probably wouldn't get used.The reason I picked the higher end 4 burner model, was because I wanted the sear station, to get the effect of the infrared burner, without having to devote an entire burner to it.In my opinion, the lighted knobs are kind of a waste, however, I haven't needed to use them.The grill out light is kind of cool, and I've actually used it a few times now with good results.

I ordered this grill online (not through Amazon), and it arrived on a pallet, within a heavy cardboard box.Almost all of the main unit was already assembled, leaving the wings, and a few other things to install.I think it took me less than an hour to assemble the entire unit, once I got it off the pallet.This grill is heavy, around 300-350lbs, so it is a lot easier if you have a couple people to get it out of the packaging.

I was really impressed with the quality of the parts.All of the burners, flame tamers, and grates are made out of stainless steel, so they should last the life of the grill (which I expect to be 20 years or more).One of the more cool features of this grill, is the smoker box.This is something that did not even come with the higher-end grills, until you stepped up to the $6k or more grills.The smoker box is all stainless steel, and has its own burner on the very right side of the grill.It takes up little grilling space, which is nice.I've used it several times, and it seems to work pretty well.Controlling the amount of smoke is as easy as turning a knob.

On to the cooking.This grill is fantastic at cooking.You get those perfect sear marks on everything you cook, and the flavor is outstanding.One thing I would point out here, is if you think you really know how to grill, get the cook book by Jamie Purviance, called Weber's Real Grilling (bought here on Amazon for less than $17, 75 reviews at 5 stars), and you will really learn how to grill.It is amazing some of the things I used to do to try and make things taste better, only to learn it was the wrong thing to do.A lot of people I have seen grilling, do it the WRONG way, so I'd highly recommend this book, not only does it teach you the proper technique, it has some fantastic recipes in it (not just meat, either--my wife and I are fans of the Barbecue Chicken Pizzas--yes, on the grill pizza, and the Apple Cake).

The grill is fantastic at everything so far.I have not tried the rotisserie yet, but everything else works really well.The burner lighting system is great, basically like using a flame thrower to light the burner, so you don't have to sit there and keep sparking the igniter all the time (oh, and the igniter is nice, it's built-in to the knob, you don't push another button or anything, just turn the knob to light, and hold it for a second or two, and you're good to go.This grill is capable of getting very HOT.The first time I used it to make a couple steaks, with the sear burner on, I burned all the hair off of my right hand, just opening the grill cover!I did the same thing a few weeks later, until I learned my lesson--get longer grilling tools!The knobs regulate well, and the burners seem to cook evenly.

Overall, I'm really impressed with this grill.I would buy it again, without a second thought.It sure beats the Patio Caddy I had, up until I got this one.This grill does seem to go through the gas a little faster, but then again, it has more than one burner...I ordered the Weber grill cover that goes with this grill last week, because I noticed that even under a covered porch, the grill does get pretty dirty.

Weber 1780001 Summit S-650 Propane Grill, Stainless Steel Review

Weber 1780001 Summit S-650 Propane Grill, Stainless SteelThis is my fourth gas grill which replaces a very expensive stainless "Turbo" unit I bought from Barbecues Galore about eight years ago.That Turbo started out fine, but steadily deteriorated to the point where I didn't even want to fire it up anymore.The quality of materials and workmanship on the Weber Summit S-650 is top shelf.Every detail is well thought-out and executed, including the burner system, high-end side burner, LP tank weight guage, heavy guage stainless grills, jet ignition system, separate smoker box and burner, drip tray system, massive lid, and LED grill-out lights that really work.I've only owned the Summit for a short time, but everything I've grilled so far has turned out perfectly.The six burners and large cooking area make it possible to cook for a large party, but also provide more options for indirect cooking.Want more heat without increased gas usage?Turn on the burners closer to the food.It's brilliant.Perhaps the best features are the flavorizer bars and grease drip system.They virtually guarantee no flare-ups on fatty foods like burgers and chicken quarters, which was a constant source of frustration with my previous grill.The grease hits the flavorizer bars and disappears into a poof of smoke.What misses the flavorizer bars hits the full width slanted grease tray that terminates into an aluminum catch pan.Clean and easy to manage with zero flare-ups and no charred food.

I really can't say enough good things about this grill and I can't think of a single negative to write about.While the Summit S-650 may seem expensive at first glance, it compares very favorably to grills costing 4x as much.With the Summit, you don't get what you pay for...you get much more.Is it possible to love a grill?:-)

Weber 2780001 Summit S-670 Grill, Propane, Stainless Steel Review

Weber 2780001 Summit S-670 Grill, Propane, Stainless SteelThis is one solid grill.The panels, grates, double walled cabinet doors, side shelves all are robust in materials and design. The assembly was minimal, I had it together in 15 minutes.At first I thought the handle lamps and lighted panel were gimmick, but actually are very functional. At 70K BTU, this grill packs a mean punch. It zoomed up to 700'F in less than 10min, so cleaning this afterwards is a breeze. My first use were two 2lb chickens on the rotisserie; the S-670 performed gallantly. If I were to pick a weak spot, it would be the caster wheels; they are a bit on the light-duty side especially when compared with the rest of the grill. I suggest registering warranty by phone, the customer service rep will share with you use and care instructions not as obvious in the manual.

Weber 1781001 Summit E-650 Grill, Propane, Black Review

Weber 1781001 Summit E-650 Grill, Propane, BlackAgonized over whether or not an expensive grill was worth the money.I call it expensive since you can get the same size for nearly half the price at a retail chain.I'm not agonizing anymore.I have used it for three weeks now and the kitchen oven is getting jealous.We cook everything on this grill.Today, we finally used the rotisserie for a whole chicken and it was the best we've had. Fish, steaks, chicken and pork all grilled to perfection - and fast!

Solaire 30-Inch InfraVection Natural Gas Cart Grill, Stainless Steel Review

Solaire 30 inch InfraVection Natural Gas Cart Grill, Stainless SteelThis grill is simply amazing. It is made entirely out of stainless steel, and arrives fully assembled. It is quite heavy, and it is a two person job getting it off the wooden pallet it is shipped on. To hook it up to natural gas, the manufacturer recommends SOL-12HOSE12, however, as I found out, it does not come with all the fittings needed. The grill has a 1/2" FPT (Female Pipe Thread), and hose has a 1/2" flare connection. You will need a 1/2" MPT (Male Pipe Thread) to 1/2" Male Flare adapter. You'll find these at your hardware store in the same section where they keep fittings to hook up your gas appliances. Make sure you put pipe dope on the pipe thread, but not on the flare thread. The other end of the hose has a quick connect fitting, with a 1/2" FPT. In my case, the gas outlet on the outside of my house had a 1/2" FPT as well, so I had to get a 1/2" MPT to MPT fitting, which I found in the same area in my hardware store as the other fitting. Make sure you liberally apply pipe dope to the male fittings and leak check with 1 part dish liquid, 1 part water, brush it onto all the fittings, including the ones that were factory installed.

The grill heats up very quickly. The infrared is glowing red within minutes. To grill steaks, I put them on the infrared burner, 2 minutes on each side (turning them 90 degrees after 1 minute to give them a cross pattern), and then I move them to the convection side to finish cooking them. Make sure you leave the lid open, unless you turn down the burners.

I bought this grill to replace a 26,000 BTU Weber propane grill, and the difference is like night and day. With the amount of energy this grill puts out, I'm happy I went with the natural gas version. I have a feeling it would go through propane tanks like there is no tomorrow. Another nice feature is that it can be converted into a built-in grill should I ever decide to build a bbq island. The grill is the same as the non-cart version and it is just bolted to the cart. The cart itself is quite basic. It has a little raised shelf on the bottom inside, and it has a shelf on the inside of each door, but there are no hooks to hang things like brushes or tongs on.

Product Description:
Solaire Infrared Grills preheat in only 3 minutes, and cook about twice as fast conventional grills. You'll be eating before your neighbor's coals are ready.With the time saved, you can now make grilling an everyday occurrence rather than just a weekend event, perfect for today's busy lifestyle.Since infrared heats the food directly, not the air around it, you will be grilling year-round, even in frigid weather, with the same grilling performance as in summertime.
With excellent burner turn down, warming rack and a variety of accessories, a Solaire Grill is a very flexible heat management system that gives you the versatility to prepare virtually any type of food.Steaks, pork, fish, burgers, vegetables, chicken, fruit, shellfish - these and more benefit from the initial high heat sear delivered by the Solaire Infrared burner.Finishing the food after searing can be accomplished by turning down the burner to a lower setting, or moving it over a convection burner, if equipped.The V-shape grilling grids capture drippings and reduce flareups.The high heat of the infrared burner vaporizes drippings back into the food as smoke and flavor.Burner maintenance is easy. After you are done cooking, turn the burners on HIGH for five minutes to keep the 9,000 BTU burner ports in each burner clear of any food debris.Solaire burners can be removed without tools in seconds for thorough cleaning, service or to change from one type of burner to another (infrared to convection, and vice-versa).All Solaire grills are designed as built-in grills that can be placed onto carts.So, if you buy a cart model now, the same grill can be used in a built-in island later by merely removing a few bolts.Conversely, a built-in model can be turned into a cart model.This flexibility provides you with long-lasting value.This grill is relatively simple by design, without nonessential features that are prone to failure.The grill is covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the stainless steel construction, main burners and grilling grids.The electronic ignition system has a two year parts warranty; all other components are covered for one year.All Solaire Grills are made in the USA by Rasmussen Gas Logs & Grills, a fourth-generation, 102-year-old family business.

Weber 7470001 Summit S-670 Natural Gas Grill, Stainless Steel Review

Weber 7470001 Summit S-670 Natural Gas Grill, Stainless SteelIf you read all of the reviews you will have noted the water leak problem. I figured it was worth the purchase even with the design flaw because the grill has great features for the price. I researched solutions for the leaking and then emailed support to ask them for advice. I was surprised when they offered a cover but recommended not to install flashing because "they don't know how it will effect grilling". They have known about the leakage for more than 3 years. With $2,000 grills you think they might explore some solutions other than a cover. People who spend this much on a grill are likely to be the same people who are willing to grill in the rain.

Anyhow, I bought some flashing and some high temp flu tape (highest rated) and flashed the 1" gap between the grill and the cart. Even with this mod, set up was quick and no problems except for the quick connect on the side burner. It just won't snap in for me. No bother, I didn't buy the grill to use the side burner.

No problem with grilling at all. It heats up very quickly and the sear section is incredible. I love the smoke box. It takes a while to get the timing down on the smoker. I have been using the grill for a while now and have no regrets at all. Lights up perfectly, heats well, and easy to clean. The only problem is cleaning the grill with hairy arms. They look like I have a perm. Perhaps time for a longer handle on my brush.

Minden Grill Company MMB1000 Master Propane Gas Grill, Black Review

Minden Grill Company MMB1000 Master Propane Gas Grill, BlackThis is a beautifully constructed grill made from heavy duty materials. I found it to be very elegant looking. Assembly was easy as all the major components are already assembled so it is just a matter of attaching the sub-assemblies. The fitted cover is heavy duty and superb.

I was disappointed with the performance, however. Despite having a smaller grill surface and lower hood than my old, cheap, Fiesta grill, which should equate to higher temperatures, the cooking times were longer on the Minden. Also the grill had very uneven temperatures. Three hamburgers, placed in a line, front to back, would all cook differently.

I live in Nevada and had wanted to support a local company. I called them and they said they'd inspect it to check whether or not it was operating properly. They did and said it was. I told them I was not happy with its performance and they arranged a full refund. So customer service is excellent.

I also did not like that there was practically no vertical lip at the back of the grill to back-stop hamburgers if you try to pick them up with a spatula (and need to slide them into something) and the control knobs do not have clock face hash marks to line up against to indicate amount of heat, rather an expanding arrow making it difficult to finely adjust the heat settings.

I would recommend getting one from a dealer with a liberal return policy but understand that it will be difficult to re-pack to return it if you have it shipped to you.

Broil King Model 94628 Crown 20 Post-Style 44,000 BTU Natural Gas Grill Review

Broil King Model 94628 Crown 20 Post-Style 44,000 BTU Natural Gas GrillThis grill suits my needs.I wanted a grill fixed to the ground because I enjoy grilling on my side deck that's right off the kitchen, I also enjoy not having to worry about how full my propane tank is.So this post mount natural gas grill was a perfect fit.
What makes this grill over-the-top awesome?
(some of these comments compare my new Broil King to my old Charmglow)
* The side shelves are made of very durable material, and it's easy to clean.The side shelves also have drink *beer holders* that are far offset from the grilling surface to keep the brew cool
* The grill has a thermometer that works!And the ignitor works too.
* You don't have to use briquettes with the flav-r-wave, but you can if you want to
* The grilling surface is huge, no space wasted, and the upper rack is twice the cooking size, even though my charmglow grill was about the same overall size.
* The instruction manaul that comes with the grill is mind blowing - pictures, sturdy, color manual with recipes, instructions for care, index, ideas.It's written by folks that genuinely want you to enjoy your grill!
*There's really not much assembly to do - I'm a bean counter and figured it out.
* The knobs to hang your brushes from are a nice touch
* I bought this on amazon and the shipping was great - not a nick on the box
* I searched for a grill like this for hours and this one had a good price too.

Weber 516002 Q 120 Gas Grill Review

Weber 516002 Q 120 Gas GrillThe Weber Q120 is a fantastic little grill.As a vegetarian, I wasn't sure just how much I'd actually use a grill, and didn't want to BBQ on something that felt unstable or flimsy... well... I've had the grill for almost a month now and I think I've only missed grilling 2 of those days.

Veggie kabobs are a breeze (it holds 6 perfectly) as are bocaburgers, tofurkey beer brats, and jumbo dogs.I'm sure for my carniverous friends, it would work equally well.

I'm loving it so much I just ordered a cookbook today for vegetarian grilling so that I can expand my repetoire (sic).

Best Features:
- easy to put together
- cast iron grate
- shape/size
- fantastic electric starter that doesn't have an 'explosive' start to it

It is worth the price... I think it will last a good long time.

Broil King Model 94947 Crown 40 Natural Gas 44,000 BTU Gas Grill with Side BurnerI'm no grill expert and this was my first new grill purchase.I needed natural gas connection at an affordable price, so I went with the BK Crown 40. Some notes: Even though it's natural gas the area behind the doors is still designed to hold a LP tank. Why? That should have been transformed into a usable storage area. The hardward used to put together the grill is fairly cheap in my opinion. The main grilling area is pretty good quality, the burner, the cast iron grills, the top. Lesser quality: the doors, the base, wheels, storage cabinet, hardware. It's almost impossible to find a cheaper nat gas grill with a side burner, so maybe it's still a good deal for the price, but they could of really improved this grill for an extra $15 in parts.

Weber 3880001 Genesis S-320 Natural Gas Grill, Stainless Steel Review

Weber 3880001 Genesis S-320 Natural Gas Grill, Stainless SteelThe Weber was top rated by a consumer testing firm and they are right.

It cooks great, has lots of power and can also cook at low temps.

I owned my last Weber for over 15 years and love this new one.

You can spend less and get lower quality and more for a bigger grill; but this grill looks great, cooks great and is big enough for most peoples needs.

Char Broil T480 Three-Burner 40,000 BTU Gas Grill, with Sideburner Review

Char Broil T480 Three-Burner 40,000 BTU Gas Grill, with SideburnerWhen I purchased the Char-Broil T480 3-Burner 40,000 BTU Gas Grill I did so for several reasons: features, reliability and price. For me the Char-Broil had more of what was important than any other grill I looked at.

Assembly:
On a difficulty rating I'd give this a 7 and I've put together everything from Bikes to Ikea Furniture. Out of the box this didn't scare me, but it did take about 45-60 minutes from start to finish.

Use & Features:
It has an electronic ignition for all of the burners. My only complaint so far is that the button is rubber and dried up very quickly from the heat. Mine detached from the grill, but still works as long as it doesn't get lost.
The warming rack although a great idea, hasn't really been useful to us. Even though it's raised up on the back portion of the grill it takes up too much space and makes getting to what is grilling beneath it very difficult.
The side burner is great for heating up sauces, baked beans, making grilled onions or even frying bacon.
Temperature gauge on outer front is useful. I'm not sure of accuracy, but it has helped me pre-heat the grill when I do things like tri-tip or beer can chicken.
The two wheels on the bottom make it easy for me to maneuver around on our deck and also for storing.

Grilling:
I used to be a firm believer of grilling only with briquettes, but when you want to do it as often as we do it's just not possible. During the summer we use the grill about 2-4 times a week and during the winter we still use it at least once a week.I have become very comfortable with this grill, knowing how long to preheat, how long to cook and what works best. The 3 separate burners allow me to heat only the grates we need. Most often it's one for just a small dinner, but we have had all three going when cooking for a large crowd.

Clean-Up:
After cooking I give the grates and initial scraping with the Mr. Bar-B-Q Wide Grill Brush and then I usually turn the burners I had been using up to HIGH for about 60 seconds.This seems to burn off any excess food and keeps it ready to go for next time. As long as you take care of this grill you should be able to get many years of service and delicious food from it!

Storing: We purchased a cover for it since we do have it out year round (and in rainy Seattle no less). This Weber 7555 Premium Cover, although not meant for our grill, has been our favorite one.The quality of the materials and weight of it have kept ours clean and covered even through some pretty bad storms. We figured it we were investing the money in a grill; we should invest in this too.

Ducane 31731101 Affinity 3100 Propane Grill, Black Review

Ducane 31731101 Affinity 3100 Propane Grill, BlackThis is the nicest grill I have ever owned and I can't believe it really is only about $100 more than the last grill I had which was a total piece of junk. It is really nice, quality made. It heats evenly and quickly and is really much larger cooking area than I thought. Its perfect.

I put the entire thing together on my own and I'm a pretty petite woman. It was nowhere near as complicated to assemble as I thought. However I could not locate the knobs for the grill (dials) or the handle for the door. I re-checked every box, maybe it was there and the kids conveniently "relocated" it or it was missing in the first place (which I believe). I called Ducane, a few questions later they shipped out what was supposed to be 3 knobs and 1 handle, only got 1 knob. Tried again, only one knob. 3rd time is the charm and the woman I talked to the last two times said she would have the error corrected to reflect the proper part. Really their service was amazing and I'm thrilled with the grill. I splurged on a nice Ducane cover, I'm glad I did but this baby will get a parking space in the garage come winter, I'm in love with it!

Weber 586002 Q 320 Portable Outdoor Gas Grill Review

Weber 586002 Q 320 Portable Outdoor Gas GrillBeen waiting for awhile to find a good deal on this, but Amazon's got the best price with shipping you are going to find.$0.01, doesn't get much better than that.What surprised the heck out of me was ordering early Thursday morning and finding at my doorstep Friday before noon.FedEx overnight, somebody loves me.This was supposed to ship ground.

I've bought a Weber Q several years ago, so I already know what the fuss is about.Cast iron grill, great cook platform, etc.I've never used a cover, so over the years, I've had to replace burners, etc. as they corroded and degraded.Not Weber's fault, but Weber customer service is the greatest, 24/7 etc., cheerfully helped identify what I needed and sent me the replacement parts.

I've been enviously looking at the 300 and when I saw the specs on the 320, I knew I was looking at my next Weber.

I thought I knew what I was getting, but I was pleasantly surprised at what I unboxed.This one is even cleverer than the original.

Stationary Cart is a well thought out design.Stable, with safety features I've never seen implemented as well.The Tank storage system that locks the propane tank in place so it can't shift and also provides the cart with a counterweight to help prevent tips is a marvel by itself.The collapsible shelf system is elegant and functional while feeling more substantial than the Q200's fixed shelfs.

The slightly larger cooking area is served by split cast iron grills instead of the single grill piece used by the Q200.This actually makes this grill easier to clean and service, while taking nothing away from the cook area.A stainless steel warming rack is a nice place to put up food from the grill surface.Just sits there but is totally substantial and stable.

A second burning tube, stainless steel to prevent rusting out provides the additional heat and controls to bring the grill up to the temperatures I need to cook in colder weather.40degrees last night, and the grill still heated up to over 400 degrees in about 5 minutes.

Thermostat is simple, and will be easy to replace in the event of breakage or failure.This has an integral BBQ light that has a sensor that automatically turns it off when the lid is lowered.Very cool.

I have never been satisfied with the old style igniter on the previous Q models.The Q320 now has a electronic igniter that works great.Uses a AAA battery.Press a button and poof.Weber's lit.The outer burner ignites the center burner automatically.

Assembly was easy with two of us, but this could have been assembled easily by one person.Directions could have been better, but pictures worked fine.

Food tastes great.Looking foward to putting through it's paces this summer.

Already bought my grill cover.This time I don't plan on abusing Weber Customer service as much .
