Curb Alert !!!


 
I haven't been working on my own personal grills. Because of flips. It's fun to see how cheep you can pick them up and how high you can sell them for. All the money from the flips is for keepers plus it bought me 2 rolling tool boxes, vises, bench grinder and general tools. Its nice to use money made in my spare time to put back into this hobby so that it pays for itself and then some.
 
The 6 burner is just not as "classy" looking as the 4 burner. Something about the giant stainless lid on those just does not exude that tuxedo appearance. They look really nice in a black lid on that model.
That 4 burner is identical to the one Jon got from me. I say go for both :D

With Josh's luck one would think if a summit can be found with a good cookbox, he will find it!

Maybe I could find one with a good cook box but I would still need Jon's help to fix it right to prevent the inevitable. Wouldn't make any sense to me to just use it until it falls apart. It would be a big commitment for sure.
 
I want to find one, just to see how they are built. I have looked at the manuals multiple times, but I want to physically see one and tinker with it, at zero cost to me that is.
 
Got super excited when I first saw this thinking it was a Jr. Then noticed what I think is chipped porcelain on the lid in the middle. 30 minutes away and free.

Josh,
I would be happy to help however I can. These are such wonderful grills, that it makes me sad to think of them being parted out to just keep the grates for a Genesis grill. The 1st Summit was Weber's ultimate grill - at least with a Weber name on it. I would love to see you bring one all the way back! If the cook box front (and maybe the back, too) have just some rust, my stainless reinforcements will still work. If you front is way gone, then maybe not. If you get one, please post some pictures.

Thank you Jon I really appreciate it! I believe you about how great they are. I've noticed in the Genesis series that the very best ones were built in the very beginning with a slow steady decline generation after generation. Seems like the Summit follows that same pattern. When they first started making these grill they admittedly just wanted to make the best grill they could and weren't worried about the price. Knowing that the quality of the grill will sell itself. Of course over time they found ways to trim down the cost and assembly time and it shows.
