If I hadn't left Long Island 40 years ago (at 18, as soon as I could escape), maybe. What about you, Bill. Is this sort of thing up your alley?Roy are you up for a LONG ride?

What have you accumulated?
I thought all Summit Platinums had a smoker box and rotisserie burner? Why doesn’t the Weber emblem have Summit Platinum on it?Roy are you up for a LONG ride?

I don't remember enough about that line but I think Platinum referred more to the esthetics than the contents. Could be wrong as only Summit I ever bought was my 450 1st generation.
For second and third generations, There are 400 series and 600 series or silver, gold or platinum. 4 or 6 main burners. All have side burners. Some have a rotisserie burner.

The badge makes sense, I received a new replacement hood last month with a new style badge for my platinum 6 burner. Looking further, my Summit Platinum is a D6, and I see they also have an A6, probably without the additional accessories.Good eye on that. I am surprised they sold the Platinum version without the smoker box and rear infrared. I might guess that the owner managed to get a replacement hood at some point. A generic badge would make sense at that point even though it looks to have been put on crooked
I think this is how it works for second generation Summits
Thanks for the info. I had a few over the years and noticed the variation.
Wow, so that old piece of junk I have is a D4 Platinum I guess. Who knew? I still have no desire to do anything more than pilfer the grates and maybe the frame. That SS monolith style is so overplayed and overdone. Does nothing for me. Perhaps when it first came out but not now. Which isn't really fair to the Summit, in a way, given that the thing is the real deal (in that it weighs about six million pounds). Perhaps if I were further along with this hobby I'd be tempted to fabricate a fix for the fire box, but I'm not and I won't.
Is the firebox on your summit rotted out? I mean, did you take a close up look to confirm that it is? I'm just wondering because I don't think we can automatically assume that yours is toast. There have to be some survivors out there.
How can I tell. I looked down there and it looked rough to my untrained eye. But I don't know what I'm looking at.
Definitely has its weak firebox issues, but most of the rest is 304 stainless and will outlast most any grill - even a classic Genesis.
I can’t say there would be a huge improvement, but four burners in the same square inch space as the Genesis has only three should yield more power and more even grilling.
Wow. Well I admit that I think both have their place. The rear infrared makes up for the disadvantages perceived by those who are regular rotisserie users. It can also help with cooking pizza on your grill. At least that’s what I have heard.
I definitely respect that, Jon. Different strokes and all. Right now, it's just not pulling at me the way the old Genesis grills do. The Platinum is pretty much indestructible now that it's an open cart. The box on the 2000 with the 13 bars is really special.
