WOW... makes even me a grill master!

Have owned this gem for three years and LOVE IT! It makes fantastic grilling sooo easy even though I had not grilled much at all before. What do I like? First, the smoker box easily infuses flavor in the foods. I just place wood chips in the box, light the dedicated burner below and in a few minutes smoke pours out at which time I lower the burner level a bit. Second, all the burners allow me to control the temperature. They provide GREAT heat control. Third, the lid thermometer lets me know the inside temperature so I can increase or decrease temps as desired. Fourth, the infrared burner helps me convince my wife that THIS grilling is safe. She read articles a couple months ago about the evils of grilling foods. With the infrared, I can dial down the heat below, still create grill marks, and yet cook the food safely. I also use the burners away from the meat to increase the ambient temperature to "bake" without blackening. Fifth, the rotisserie lets me safely cook two organic chickens at once. We do this to avoid the salt and junk they inject into store roasted birds. I could go on, but you get the idea. Oh, night grilling is fun with the lighted knobs and handle lights which turn on automatically when the lid is raised. It would be nice if they were just a little brighter, but they do the job. I better stop now and get stuff done. Hope you get one and join the club. They are AMAZING!
PS: last night I grilled eight turkey burgers, from frozen pack to table in about 18 minutes. My wife wanted to welcome a new neighbor with a meal. You can't make this stuff up, they just texted me... "Thank you again for the amazing dinner last night. It was all delicious and the turkey burgers with onions and mushrooms were incredible!" I'm not joking... I just received this text today.

Oh, two minor issues, 1) the grill cover Velcro fasteners stopped working after the second winter and, 2) the grill hanger posts don't work with my grill tools. I think I will live.

The BEST EVER Natural Gas Grill
on July 11, 2018
Posted by: Corbin
from Ft Wayne Indiana
Gender:Male
I I have had my natural Gas 470 grill for over a year now. This is my 4th Weber, not because they wore out, I just kept upgrading, sold the previous ones which are still working. I still have my Q series for tailgating. There is nothing I can't do with this grill including smoking. I live in Indiana and use it all year round. Definitely worth the money and have suggested Weber to Friends who are also happy with theirs." Best Grill Known to Mankind"

This Grill is Awesome!

Since purchasing this grill, each and every meal I've made has been as good as grilling gets. My guests seem to think I'm a great chef, but it's the grill!
I really enjoy the smoker box, the ruggedness of the stainless steel grill, the great control of the temperature and the way this unit looks.
If you are in the market for the "best of the best", I would recommend this grill!

Gives Me Lots of Grilling and Cooking Options

I've had the S-470 two years now. I have used every feature more than once. I have used to the rotisserie to cook chicken and smoke pork loins and Tri-Tip.
The "Sear Station" heats hot and fast and sears my steaks to perfection. After searing, I use the outside burners and then grill the steak to a perfect medium rare.
I find it odd that others have complained about the quality. They have posted pictures of rust and pits in the chrome, etc. Then they add... "I keep it covered". Well, I keep my covered and mean still looks great. Yes... I have some discoloring around the edges but when you smoke Tri-Tip and other cuts... it can cause some discoloring. But overall, the grill looks great.

Best grill I've owned.

NG Grill was a floor display model purchased ready to go in 2009. We cook on it 3 or more times every week. Over 2000 meals cooked, including rotisserie smoked turkey on the holidays. The rubber on the wheels is coming apart after 11 years. New wheels on order. I need the larger 6 burner S-670 model so this one will be passed down to the kids.

A Really Terrific Grill
on April 13, 2021
Posted by: Steve 6491
from East Bay, SF area
I bought mine ten years ago. It has held up very well. The three heat elements in the middle have been great for steak. We have used the rotisserie several times for terrific, whole chickens. I like the vertical heat elements as they allow cooking on one side while warming or baking on the other. A year ago, when a couple heat elements rusted, they were replaced under warranty. I use the smoke section on the right when doing ribs, steak etc as it adds flavor. Even though we use it several times a week and year round and it sits on a deck with salt wind from San Francisco Bay blowing on it, it still looks and works well.
I remember well how it came. The packaging was amazing. Very well thought out so easy to assemble.

My 20+ year old summit died last summer. Only made sense to buy the exact one which will probably last longer since I now know how to take extra care of it.

My Weber Summit S-470 Turns 10!

My Weber Summit S-470 turns 10 and is still going strong! Many wonderful memories of yummy food in the company of good friends. Operated in tropical Singapore, sandy Dubai and back to Singapore. Has suffered only three small rust holes (3 mm diameter) in the back panel (looks like Part #70392 Hardware for IR cover). A great grill!
