Shipped and received with no problems. In fact it came early. Spent a short afternoon putting it together (2 hours in no hurry), assembly was easy, written directions could be better, pictures helped a lot. Lit for the first time, temp got to 500 plus with no problems. Tested all burners including rotiserie and smoker box, all worked perfect.
Cooked my first pork roast indirect heat med 350-400 degrees. Also did green peppers mushroom and onions using direct heat per cooking instructions provided. All food turned out perfect. What flavor!!!
Will try cooking a couple of chickens next weekend, am positive it will turn out great tasting too.
I see now why people pay much more for a better BBQ. The cooking power, heat control and quality in this cookbox is well worth it. Like night and day from cheaper bbqs.
I know I will use this product quite a bit so I went out and bought two extra propane tanks so I do not run out of fuel. I assume with my weekend cooking I will go through a tank of propane a month is my guess.
I am extremely happy with my Weber Gold Series. I love the stainless steel cooking grates as well as the flavorizer bars on the bottom which are also stainless steel. And yes I got the match stick holder which attaches to the door with a chain. Cleaning is much easier then some of those other bbqs.
I highly recommend this product to anyone who loves to bbq and try various ways of cooking using direct and indirect heat. If you love bbqing you will love this Weber Summit Gold D6 Propane Gas Grill.



The only criticism below seems way over the top. It's for a natural gas weber and this is the web page for a propane one. What's that all about?

I've had 2 Weber Gas Grills that, combined, have lasted over 20 years. They're wonderful and the support is first rate.

I'm also trying to figure why someone would hire a plumber who lives an hour's drive away?


I bought this grill from Amazon and in short everything worked right out of the box. I bought the grill so that I could sear steaks, grill for a party and cook BBQ low and slow all in one grill. I have had nothing but success, great grill marks and I am able to maintain a 230-250 degree temperature for BBQ (with smoker box for great flavor). The six burners plus the smoker burner and wide cooking surface allow me to tailor the temperature perfectly. The setup instructions were clear and I was able to assemle it myself. I am very pleased with my purchase of the Summit Gold D6 and knowing Weber will be around for as long as I will own this grill as also very reassuring.



I bought this grill about recently from a local store. For close to $2000, I thought it would work like a dream.
Because it used natural gas, I had to hire a plumber to run a gas line to my patio. After that was done, he tested the side burner and everything seemed to be working fine. I hosted a large family cookout that weekend with the new grill.
The first thing I did was reading the manual. The instruction said to run all burners on high for 15 minutes before use. I did that, and the temperature rose to 600 some degrees. After 15 minutes, I put two chickens on rotisserie, and turned the knobs to low. I came back to the grill 5 minutes later, and smelled gas. All six burners had gone out, even though there was very little wind. I let the gas dissipate, and lit the burners again. This time I put the settings to medium. About 5 minutes later, the fire had gone out again. This happened about 10 times in a row. If I put everything on high, it stays lit; any settings medium or lower cause all the burners to go out.
I called Weber support after that. It turned out Weber headquarter was located in the next town to me. The first lady I spoke to claimed that my plumber must have hooked up the grill wrong. She insisted the connector was 3/8" for the grill, even though the manual and the label on the connector clearly stated 1/2". I asked to speak to some one more experienced, and was promptly hung up. I called back again, and the next rep. I spoke to had no record of my previous hung up conversation. I gave my information to register the product, and told her the problem again. She asked me to wait for the grill to cool down, and clean all the internal parts per manufacturer instruction. She also wanted me to take out the burners, and clean them with a stainless steel brush. I asked her why I needed to do that when the grill is brand new. She said something about shipping wax could have gotten into the grill internals. She also said my gas pressure may not be high enough. I call the plumber at home, and asked him to come back here to check the pressure. The plumber told me that he had checked the pressure after installation, and it must have been a problem with the grill. He then agreed to come over, but will charge me for traveling time if it was not a gas line problem. He lived about 1 hour away, and it was on Sunday.
My whole family waited with table full of raw meat, while the plumber checked the gas pressure. Sure enough the pressure was fine, even a bit higher than normal. Embarrassed, I paid him for 2 hours of time, and extra for traveling.
I called Weber support again, and spoke to a different support person. While giving my information, I was hung up again. I called back again, and this time was transferred to voicemail. Finally, I tried again, and spoke to another rep. I told her that their previous suggestions did not work, and I paid close to $2000 for a grill that did not work. She told me that I needed to heat the grill up to 700 degree, instead of just 600, even it took over 15 minutes. I tried that solute, and let grill run for over 20 minutes. Finally, the temperature rose to about 680, but would not go up again. I then hear the grill cover metal making popping sound, the temperature started going down. I opened up the grill, and noticed the thing metal line inside started to buckle and warp, and started to peel off the rivets. I called Weber support again, and told them that solution did not work either. This time the support person scheduled for a service call. However, I would not be contacted until a week later to be scheduled, and it would take another week or two for the actual repair to take place. I was so frustrated with the experience, and called the local store to take the whole grill back.
So far I have wasted over $400 paying for the plumber, messed up a weekend cookout (we ended up microwave all the food), and wasted over 4 hours on the phone with Weber support. I bought Weber because of all the great reviews and reputation, but it was a big disappointment. The overall construction of this grill felt light and cheap, and it did not even work right out of the box. My old Vermont Castings grill only cost $300, and it worked for over 5 years without any problem, on the same gas line. Weber support had tried everything they can to not send any repairperson to fix the problem. I was not impressed with the quality at all, especially with the high rate of disconnects (2 out of 6). In the old days, Weber made durable quality products. It is not the case today. At least with the high price Summit Gold D6 I bought. I will not buy any products from Weber again.
