Frankenweber gone wrong?

[Ed Grostas]

Saw this today on FB MP. Thermodor rangetop built into Summit SS frame.

With the Weber sideburner, he could cook seven things at one time.

If you look at the sides in his ad, he used wood to attach it to the cart. I don't think that's really smart ...

 

[LMichaels]

Hey I like that!

Yah, good eye. That looks like a dangerous situation or at the least not something that will be very durable with the heat it will encounter.

No temp gauge required when you start smelling burning pine you know the grill is now hot enough to start searing your steak

 

[timothy]

Yea I dunno. Those are installed in counter tops and some are made of wood so maybe it's insulated on the sides?
Wonder if it's LP or NG, seems like it would be a fuel hog on LP.

 

[Bruce]

Yah, if you run all those burners on full at the same time, it would suck down a 20 lb tank pretty quickly.

 

[Tim Snyder]

The side burner almost seems ridiculous.

 

[Bruce]

I agree, I think he would be much better off dropping another thermoset table in place of the side burner.

That’s basically a modern take on the original Weber “Flat-top.” That was also based on the Summit of its time. You don’t see them very often, but they sold well in Australia as this Weber Australia catalog shows:

Cool idea. But I wonder how well it works on a windy day.

 

[Bruce]

Stefan, that is my thought exactly. It looks like it belongs in a kitchen or restarant. Otherwise, they should have 10-12" wind guards around the sides and back if they intend to use that outdoors.

That would have been nice on a really hot day connected to a 100# tank!
