I'll give those tips a shot! Thanks! Yes, I'm so ready for better weather. We're expecting rain all weekend but maybe after that it will warm up. We had a week of nice spring weather about two weeks ago, then BAM temps went right back down. But that's Reno for you!

Well, I'm not able to get it lit. I may get a new ignition switch, but only because the button is missing - just a hanging corkscrew thing. But it works on all the burners, the smoker burner, and the side table burner. I've tried lighting the IR burner with a torch, but that doesn't even work...

Yep, that was me. I can actually light the side burner now with the ignitor. But it doesn't seem to want to ignite the ir. Still monkeying around with it. I have a small torch and that may work!

Quick question: I have acquired a 2006 Summit Platinum which comes with a rotisserie and an infrared burner - BUT - I'm having trouble getting my burner to light. Probably need a new ignitor kit, but in the meantime... maybe this is a dumb question, but anyway: can I cook a chicken on the...

Thanks, everyone. Got just the info I needed! I'm going to order a Thermoworks Smoke today. Woohoo!

I am rather new to grilling in general, but loving the journey. I have a Weber 22 kettle, and seized the opportunity to add a used Summit Platinum in pretty good condition to my collection. At the moment, I have but one thermometer, a Lavatools Javelin, which works fine when poked into the...

Thanks for your input! It certainly seems like a very sweet grill!

Yep - that's the one. All seems to be in ship-shape except it's missing the ignitor button (just a spring hanging down), and the firebox is a little bowed so, for the moment, I'm not able to use the middle grill. (Which isn't a problem, just have to work around it.)

Yep, that's what this one has. It looks like I got a steal!

Oh hell yeah!

I'm just curious. I purchased one just a week or two ago third-hand for $200, and I'm very pleased with the purchase price. Searching the interwebs to try to learn the original MSRP has been fruitless. Anyone remember about what they cost brand new?

Thanks for this tip. I'll be checking it out. I may replace the igniter just because it's missing the button (I have only the spring) and in doing so, perhaps it will solve my other issues as well. Appreciate the link!

Thanks! I found out I can light both the side burner and the rotisserie manually. Still trying to figure out why they won't go on with the ignitor.

Hi there... I just acquired a 2006 Summit Platinum and going through all the bells and whistles to get it up and running. It was lightly used (and mostly stored) throughout the 13 years it's been around and appears to be in darn good shape. (One downside - the firebox may be warped. The middle...

Hi all! I'm thrilled to have found this site. I've been grilling occasionally on my 22" kettle, and recently had the opportunity to purchase a very lightly used 2006 Summit Platinum which looks like it will rehab quite nicely. That said, I'm not sure what happened to me. From occasionally...
