Introducing the new Weber Summit: a game-changer for BBQ lovers

As Australians we love our barbecues, and if you’ve ever fired up a Weber, you know that it’s more than just a cooking tool—it’s part of the Aussie lifestyle. Now, Weber has taken everything we love about their barbecues and raised the bar with the all-new Summit. So, what makes the new Weber Summit different from its predecessors? Let’s dive in. 

The new Summit model introduces innovative features that set it apart and makes it the most versatile, high-performance barbecue yet—one that can take your outdoor cooking from great to legendary.

1. Searing power with the Top-Down, High-Heat Infrared Burner 

One of the standout new features is the Top-Down, High-Heat Infrared Burner. If you’re thinking, “What does that even mean?” – it’s a burner that delivers intense, blazing heat from above, allowing you to create perfect pizzas, crackling pork, grilled seafoods, or even finish the perfect crème brûlée. It sears your food to perfection, locking in all the juices while ensuring a crispy, golden crust. It’s like having restaurant-level control right in your backyard. 

2. More cooking possibilities with WEBER CRAFTED 

While earlier Summit models had versatile cooking options, the new Weber Summit takes it further with WEBER CRAFTED compatibility. The included frame kit allows you to use a variety of custom-fit accessories like pizza stones, griddles, and woks (sold separately) so, whether you're whipping up a Sunday roast or cooking pizza on a Friday night, this barbecue has you covered. 

3. Cooking after dark? No problem! 

Ever tried barbecuing after the sun goes down and found yourself juggling a torch or having to rig up a DIY lighting system, MacGyver-style? Well, not anymore! The new Summit steps up with NIGHT VISION LED lighting that illuminates the entire cooking surface when you open the lid. Whether you're roasting up a feast or flipping some burgers, you’ll always have a clear view of your food, no matter how dark it gets. This gives the new Summit a significant edge for night-time barbecue enthusiasts. 

4. Larger, more versatile cooking space 

The new Summit features an expansive two-tiered cooking surface that gives you loads of space to work with. Whether it’s a big family barbecue or a casual weekend with friends, this barbecue can handle it all. This two-level cooking area also provides the flexibility to cook different types of food at once, making it perfect for multi-course meals or simply managing large amounts of food at the same time. 

5. Updated design and build quality 

The new Summit barbecue is designed for durability and style, and Weber back it up with a 10 year warranty. Its stainless-steel construction not only ensures it can withstand any harsh outdoor conditions but also gives it a sleek, modern look. The soft-close cabinet doors and premium LED-backlit knobs are additional touches that set this barbecue apart, providing both practicality and elegance to your evening barbecues. 

6. High-performance rotisserie with added features 

If you’re into rotisserie cooking, you’ll love what Weber’s done here. The integrated rotisserie paired with the infrared burner gives you even browning and perfect golden crispness, whether it’s a couple of chickens, crackled Porchetta, or a leg of lamb. And the best part? The heavy-duty motor tucks away when you don’t need it, keeping your surface tidy, ensuring you still have plenty of work space. 

7. No more guessing about gas levels 

Running out of gas mid-cook is the ultimate buzzkill, right? Thankfully, the new Summit features an LED fuel gauge that lets you know exactly how much gas you’ve got left. It’s a small feature but one that’ll save you from any last-minute fuel runs. 

If you already own a Weber barbecue, you know the quality and durability that comes with the brand. But the new Summit is more than just an upgrade— it’s about making your outdoor cooking experience more fun, flexible, and effortless. With new features like the Top-Down, High-Heat Infrared Burner, upgraded lighting, and more cooking accessories, it’s ready for any outdoor meal you choose to create. 

Add to that the sleek design, upgraded functionality, and thoughtful features like the fuel gauge and soft-close doors and you’ve got a barbecue that’s not only a powerhouse for cooking but a statement centrepiece in any outdoor setting. 

So, if you’re ready to elevate your barbecuing game and unlock new culinary possibilities, the all-new Weber Summit is here to help you cook, entertain, and enjoy every moment outdoors - the pinnacle of barbecue.
