Weber Summit FS38-S.
Premium flagship — 5 burners, 60,000 BTU, 644 sq in, integrated smoker box, sear station, infrared rotisserie.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“Buy this if you want every cooking technique on one grill and you don't want to compromise on any of them. The 5-burner expansion versus the outgoing S-470 makes two-zone setups easier and adds enough cooking area for full-roast meals plus searing without a juggling act. The integrated smoker box is still the feature that separates the Summit from the Genesis line — most premium gas grills make you choose between sear and smoke; the Summit gives you both with dedicated hardware. At $2,799 with a 10-year full-grill warranty and 304 stainless throughout, this is a 15-year purchase.”
