Unfortunately, for the first time in who knows how long, Weber decided to not produce a consumer-facing product catalog for 2024, either in print or PDF format.
To document as best I can the 2024 product line-up, I'm going to piece together several documents in this thread.
The first is this press release from Weber about their new products for 2024.
WEBER ‘BRINGS THE HEAT’ WITH SERIES OF INDUSTRY-FIRST, INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED INNOVATIONS TO MAKE COOKING OUTDOORS MORE ENJOYABLE AND DELICIOUS THAN EVER
Create Restaurant-Style Meals with High-Definition Touchscreen and Remote Smart Device-Controlled SUMMIT Smart Gas Grill, Cook for a Crowd on Rust-Resistant SLATE Griddles, and Smoke-to-Sear on SEARWOOD Wood Pellet Grill with DirectFlame™ Temperature Control
PALATINE, ILL., (Jan. 9, 2024) –– Weber LLC, the global leader in high-performance, quality outdoor cooking technology and products, announced today its breakthrough offerings in gas, wood pellet and griddle cooking for the 2024 barbecue season. The new lineup includes the ultra-premium SUMMIT smart gas grill, with the Company's first top-down infrared (IR) broiler and proprietary SmartControl™ technology, which enables home cooks to program, monitor, self-adjust as needed and grill exceptional meals to perfection, all from their smart device.
Also new for 2024 is the SLATE gas griddle collection, featuring a unique rust-resistant, pre-seasoned cooking surface, setting a new standard in griddle cooking, and the SEARWOOD wood pellet grill with its patent-pending DirectFlame heat distribution and temperature control, ensuring rich, deep smoke flavor in every dish.
"Our company's latest products are our most advanced and innovative yet," said Mike Jacobs, Chief Operating Officer of Weber. "Throughout the development process, we focused on solving the problems that our consumers face so that they feel more confident, creative and in control when they cook with their Weber grill. We created state-of-the-art temperature monitor and control systems, leveraged sophisticated digital and predictive control technologies, and utilized the highest quality materials and manufacturing processes. The result is a range of barbecues and griddles that are purposeful and intelligent in design and functionality, yet incredibly simple, intuitive and fun to use."
SUMMIT SMART GAS GRILL: A BREAKTHROUGH HIGH-TECH, CULINARY EXPERIENCE
The all-new 2024 SUMMIT smart gas grill is the most technologically advanced, versatile, premium offering in the Company’s gas portfolio. Weber designed it exclusively for outdoor cooks who seek a high-performing culinary showstopper for their outdoor space.
At the heart of the all-new SUMMIT grill experience is SmartControl technology. From the extra-large, color, high-definition touch screen on the SUMMIT grill’s knob-free control panel or via their smart device, this digital innovation allows cooks to:
For the ultimate smart and easy-to-manage grilling experience, SUMMIT gas grill cooks can also rely on the WEBER CONNECT App. With nearly 1,000 recipes and guided cooking programs, and automatic alerts and notifications, WEBER CONNECT technology makes barbecuing while entertaining even less stressful, giving entertainers more time to prepare and socialize with guests, relying on the grill to notify them when their perfectly grilled food is ready.
The SUMMIT grill delivers the very best culinary features for those who demand them. It offers a first-in-class top-down IR broiler to rapidly sear and caramelize dishes for that often elusive, sizzling chophouse crust and rich flavor. Equipped with supersized FLAVORIZER bars, a massive cook space, reliable electronic ignition, and a powerful PUREBLU burner system, this entertainer’s dream cooks as great as it looks.
Added features such as extra-large prep and serve side tables, a side burner, and NIGHTVISION motion-sensing lid-integrated LED lights that illuminate the entire grilling surface - from the side table to the grates - make cooking delicious meals both timesaving and hassle-free.
The SUMMIT grills come in stainless steel or hallmark Weber porcelain enamel and have premium design elements and culinary touches, including a tuck-away rotisserie, soft-close cabinet doors and a stainless-steel smoker box. Additionally, they come ready to use with the WEBER CRAFTED Outdoor Kitchen Collection of grillware, which includes a variety of accessories such as an air crisping basket, pizza stone and many more.
The complete line of SUMMIT grills for 2024 includes free-standing standard and smart options, along with a Grill Center and Built-in models; a 15-year limited warranty backs each grill, and owners will have access to a specialized helpline staffed by in-house barbecue experts. SUMMIT gas grills start at $3,899 and will be available this spring in the United States from retailer partners and on weber.com.
SLATE RUST-RESISTANT GRIDDLES: NOVEL COOKTOP + ACCESSORY SYSTEM
Fans of one of the hottest cooking trends, griddling, will welcome the SLATE griddle, the industry's first rust-resistant griddle with consistent, edge-to-edge heat and a state-of-the-art digital temperature display.
Weber product experts developed a unique process inspired by the automobile industry to solve the problem of rust accumulation on the griddle's cooking surface over time. This process ensures that the cooktop is ready to use right out of the box, with no pre-seasoning required, and remains prepared over time and usage.
In addition, SLATE griddles offer fast, high heat, capable of reaching temperatures over 500°F / 260°C in as little as 10 minutes. This griddle's rapid and precise temperature accuracy is possible through a redesigned, patent-pending valve and burner system that improves heat consistency across the cooktop. A sensor works under the cooktop to provide a real-time griddle temperature via an easy-to-read digital display, eliminating the guesswork that often comes with griddle cooking.
To complete this new griddle experience, Weber product designers created the WEBER WORKS system. This interchangeable accessory set effortlessly converts SLATE griddle side tables into a griddle master's prep, cook and serve station. For example, a portable caddy easily transports and stores tools from the kitchen to the griddle by snapping into place, keeping needed tools within arms' reach. Two stand-alone SLATE griddle models, 30" and 36", with rust-resistant cooktops, are compatible with the WEBER WORKS collection.
Weber is also introducing two table-top, portable models, the WEBER TRAVELER 17" and WEBER TRAVELER 22" griddles, perfect for tailgating, camping, and smaller spaces like balconies.
The Weber griddle line will be available across the Americas in early 2024 at retail stores and on weber.com. Units start at $249, and a five-year limited warranty supports each model; model and feature availability will vary by retailer and geography.
