Weber Summit S-470

The Verdict.

8.9/ 10

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 integrated smoker box is the feature that separates the Summit from the Genesis — most premium gas grills make you choose between sear and smoke; the Summit gives you both with dedicated hardware. The 304 stainless build and 10-year warranty justify the premium for buyers who view this as a 15-year purchase.
