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

If 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.

Sure, it's over $2000, but the features and size make it more useful to us than a smaller grill (including the Genesis line), and far more cost-effective than the "professional" grills. The key is the ability to control heat, and the Weber allows you to do that with very fine control. With the sear burner, we've done steaks and chops that have a pleasant outside crust, but are still rare to medium-rare in the middle. We made a boneless leg of lamb using the indirect method, and the grill held 400 degrees steady for the entire time we were cooking. We even tossed in some baked potatoes that came out perfect.

Two minor quibbles that prevent me from making this a 5-star review:

1) We received a defective quick-connect fitting (no...Read more

I look long and hard before settling on this BBQ, comparing high end bbq with this one.
The features and value you get from this BBQ is superb. Installation was very straight forward and legible and intelligible instructions. I love the searing feature. The meat comes out fantastic.
