Craigslist Weber Summit


 
Well, I would allow that that particular one looks to be in unusually nice condition, although there are no inside cabinet pictures where all the big problems start.

I know I sound like Dave Ramsey on a rant when I get going about these current (third) generation Summits. My lame attempts at buying beat up ones to restore have convinced me that they are too heavy, too complicated and made with too much substandard materials. Here in wet Florida they disintegrate with alarming speed.

That being said, if you are buying to use, not restore, and you have a dry inside place to store this large of a grill, you will probably get a great cooking experience with it. Nice rotisserie, heavy stainless grates, and plenty of room and power are some good attributes. Just be prepared for a complicated repair and maintenance regime. If you are keeping it outside and it is going to get wet, well, forget about it!

Well it's less than 1/4 the price of a new one. It looks like if it's been used it's only a couple times literally. Even the internals are still shiny. Living in CA I think moisture will not be an issue for you so rusting out should not be an issue with just a little care on your part. They do cook remarkably well BTW, it does have the rotisserie burner (a HUGE plus for that burner layout and a HUGE negative for the Genesis now), so honestly with careful maint and care you could have a very nice long term grill though if it's an LP version better have more than one spare tank. It's like the Hummer of gas grills
