Weber Summit Series Gas Questions & Answers

Hi Phil did you get an answer as to if you can build in the bbq cabinetry

Hi Janice, yes this can happen. If you can please contact our head office on 1300 301 290, our team can coordinate the parts and any help from our technicians that you may need. Thanks!

Thanks! We've already had a technician come and convert it for us. Great service!

Hi Brett, thanks for your question. If it's closed, with no open air windows or doors, then no. An outdoor area is an open-air situation that is not obstructed by buildings, structures etc, facilitating correct combustion and allowing products of combustion to be readily dispersed into the atmosphere.

The following situations are considered to provide the natural ventilation required for an outdoor domestic barbecue or patio heater to be used: Four open sides with a roof or overhead cover. Four enclosed sides (walls) without a roof or overhead cover. Two parallel walls or two walls at right angles to each other with a roof or overhead cover. Three walls, with the one open side being at least 25 per cent of the total perimeter and the remaining three walls having an area of 30 per cent or more of unrestricted opening, with a roof or overhead cover.

Excellent support thank you

I have a similar problem with my S670. I installed new batteries, but the lights on my knobs do not work. The light on the gas gauge on the front of the grill works just find,indicating I have a full tank, thus the batteries must be good. The button on the left side of the grill appears not to work when pushed to turn on the knob lights so I must have a wiring problem and not a battery problem. I would suggest you change batteries and check out the lights on the knobs as well as the light on the gas gauge.

Hi Colin, there is batteries that need to be changed if your control knob lights are no longer working. If you take a look at this assembly guide, step 4 shows you where the batteries are and how to replace them :)

The addition of the extra burner in the centre and the built-in smoker box is incredible. Even thawed from frozen steak turns out very well.

the summit has the sear burner in the middle great if your a steak lover. Also the summit has a smoker box, built in rotisserie and a rotisserie burner. The only down side is the price difference $1600 for the genesis or $4300 for the summit that's $2700 but if you have the cash get the summit other wise you will kick yourself later.

Based on your replies, I purchased the Summit. I had concerns that the BBQ (in comparison to other brands with higher BTU ratings) wouldn't get hot enough. Well the BBQ heats up to 400 degrees within 5-7 minutes and the "flame tamers" get literally red hot in the process. I was also a little concerned (moving from a 6 burner) that I wouldn't have enough room, but the even temperature cooking surface nullifies that issue.

My only "complaint" is that they should have the grill plate standard as a cross hatch formation. Then you wouldn't have to turn the steak 90 degrees half way through cooking to get that classic cross hatch look. (First world problems :) - I believe you can get this as an extra but I prefer the stainless steel grill plate to the enameled cast iron.

Thanks for the advice...

Hi Steve,

Glad to hear you've made your decision. Hope you're happy with your Summit Barbecue. Enjoy!

Hi Anthony, if you're talking about the Spirit bbq range - the new model has now been released.

Check them out at your local Weber Specialist Dealer.

Cheers, Dave@WeberAustralia

I think you would need to ask Weber about that.

Yes - the hose does need to be changed over because the US use different type of gas bottle connection. Hoses are readily avail. I got ours through Sharper Auction via eBay and paid by PayPal . Overall good experience and very happy with bbq

Hi Sam, thanks for your question. We are unable to recommend using your imported barbecue here, as this barbecue is not compliant with the Australian Gas Association. We are unable to modify (or recommend modification) any part of the barbecue that forms part of the certification (ie hose and regulators, manifolds etc.). To do so would be to effectively supply a non-certified gas appliance in Australia.

You may be able to find a gas fitter who is willing to modify your bbq but again this would not make the appliance certified and would potentially expose the gas fitter and yourself to liability and safety issues should anything go wrong.


We are sorry that we cannot offer further assistance. If you would like any further information, please contact our Customer Service team on 1300 301 290 (toll-free) or your local gas provider.

Thanks again Sam
