Wow - New Spirit 700 - Glowing flavorizer bars


 
Those grills just seem way too small to me. I looked at them in person and that 3 burner is not really much if any bigger than the older 2 burner version. So of course you pack 31k BTU into that small space it's gonna be hot. Kinda like Jon's "Judge"
 
I discovered on my own the other day in the store that these Spirits have the same Snap Jet ignition as the last generation Summits.

I was kind of shocked.

The Snap Jet ignition is actually kind of a pain in the ***. If you don’t prime enough of the gas “just right” before getting the spark, the ignition fails. I actually had someone show up to recently to buy a Summit I have for sale and they walked away on it because they hated the Snap Jet ignition. They were like “Why can’t I just simply push a button to ignite it?” And…I don’t really disagree with them.

My theory is that Weber ended up so heavily overstocked on those Snap Jet valves from likely “poor” Summit sales over the past 15 years that they decided to gobble up inventory by slapping them onto all these “guaranteed sale” Spirits.
