COOKING SYSTEM
Extensive thought was put into how your charcoal grill was designed. Weber
®
grills are designed so that you never have to worry about flare-ups, hot and cold spots, or burnt food. Expect excellent performance, control, and results every time.
A
C
A
D
B
F
E
A Bowl and Lid
The air-insulated, double-wall bowl and lid retain heat for longer cook times and excellent temperature control. The unique kettle shape of your Summit
™
charcoal grill allows for true convection cooking.
B
Dampers and Vents
A major component in charcoal grilling is air. The more air allowed into the grill, the hotter the fire will grow (to a point) causing the charcoal to burn much faster. The bowl vent on the bottom of the grill should be open while grilling or in the smoke position while smoking. The top damper is used to control the temperature within the grill; however, should never be completely closed.
C
Gourmet BBQ System
™
Cooking Grate
Made of heavy-duty stainless steel, the cooking grate provides ample area to make all of your favorite meals.
D Diffuser Plate
The stainless steel diffuser plate is used to maintain a consistent temperature and to direct heat and smoke around the food. It is always used while smoking. However, it can also be used while cooking indirectly to maximize grilling space.
E
Fuel Grate
The fuel grate has what it takes to withstand the heat of any charcoal fire. Made of heavyduty steel, this durable grate will not warp or burn through. The grate can be moved to a higher position in the bowl for grilling and lower position for smoking.
F
One-Touch
™
Cleaning System
The stainless steel One-Touch
™
cleaning system makes cleanup hassle free. As you move the handle back and forth, the three blades in the bowl move ash from the bottom of the grill into the high capacity ash catcher for quick and clean ash removal. These same vents act as a bowl damper, to help bring oxygen up to the fire or to allow you to easily extinguish the fire.

Diffuser Plate Storage Area
Wire rack (G) designed to store the diffuser plate .
Easy-Open Lid Hinge
The lid of your grill was designed with a spring hinge to make opening and closing the lid simple and safe. The hinge prevents the lid from slamming shut, preventing possible injury or damage to the grill. (Not pictured.)
Locking Casters
Industrial grade casters make moving around the patio easy, while the locking mechanism keeps the grill in place. (Not pictured.)

USING THE SNAP-JET
™
GAS IGNITION SYSTEM
WHAT IS LP GAS?
Liquefied petroleum gas, also called LPG, LP gas, liquid propane, or simply propane or butane, is the flammable, petroleum-based product used to fuel your grill. It is a gas at moderate temperatures and pressure when it is not contained. But at moderate pressure inside a container, such as a disposable cartridge, LPG is a liquid. As pressure is released from the cartridge, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes LP gas.
• LPG has an odour similar to natural gas.
You should be aware of this odour.
• LPG is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and resist dispersion.
m DANGER
NEVER store a spare cartridge under or near this gas grill. Failure to follow this statement exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.
SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR
DISPOSABLE CARTRIDGES
There are various guidelines and safety factors that you need to keep in mind when using liquified petroleum gas (LPG). Carefully follow these instructions before using your gas grill.
• Do not use a damaged, dented, or rusty cartridge.
• Handle “empty” cartridges with the same care as you handle full cartridges. Even when a cartridge is empty of liquid, there may still be gas pressure inside the cartridge.
• Cartridges should not be dropped or handled roughly.
• Never store or transport the cartridge where temperatures can reach 125° F (51.7° C) (the cartridge will become too hot to hold by hand).
For example: do not leave the cartridge in a car on a hot day.
• Cartridges must be kept out of reach of children.
• Leak-test the joint where the regulator connects to the cartridgeeach time a reconnection occurs. For example: test each time the cartridge is reinstalled.
• The areas around the cartridge must be free and clear from debris.
• The cartridge should not be changed in the proximity of an ignition source.
• Always close the regulator gas control valve before disconnecting regulator.
STORAGE AND/OR NONUSE
For grills that have been stored or left unused for a while, it is important to follow these guidelines:
• Disconnect the cartridge if: 1) it is empty; 2) the grill is being stored in a garage or other enclosed area; 3) the grill is being transported;
4) the grill is not in use.
• Do not store a disconnected cartridge in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
• The grill should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tube before it is used. (Refer to “CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS” and “ANNUAL MAINTENANCE.”)
• Check that the bowl and the high capacity ash catcher are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
• The burner tube should also be checked for any obstructions. (Refer to “ANNUAL
MAINTENANCE.”)
REGULATOR CONNECTIONS
• Avoid kinking the hose.
• Change the flexible hose when national regulations stipulate this as a requirement.
• Any parts sealed by the manufacturer must not be altered by the user.
• Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.
BURNER USAGE
The gas burner feature on your Summit
™
Charcoal grill operates at 2.9 kWh. It is for igniting the charcoal only. It should never be used for cooking.
INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGE
Use only butane/propane disposable cartridges with a minimum capacity of 430g and a maximum capacity of 460g. The cartridge must have an EN417 valve as illustrated (A). m CAUTION: Use cartridges that are
marked “Propane Fuel” or “Butane-
Propane Mix” only.
1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off
( ) position.
2. Make sure the regulator control knob is turned off by turning counter-clockwise to the off position.
3. Push cartridge into regulator and turn clockwise until tight (B).
m WARNING: Hand tighten only. Using
excessive force could damage the regulator coupling and cartridge valve.
This could cause a leak or prevent gas flow.
REMOVING THE CARTRIDGE
When your cartridge needs to be replaced, follow these instructions to remove it.
1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off (
) position.
2. Make sure the regulator control knob is turned off by turning counter-clockwise to the off position.
3. Unscrew propane cartridge from regulator.

PREPARING TO USE YOUR GRILL
WHAT IS A LEAK CHECK?
The fuel system in your grill features connections and fittings. A leak check is a reliable way to make sure that no gas is escaping from any of the connections or fittings.
Although all factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks, it’s important to perform a leak check before using your grill for the first time, as well as anytime you disconnect and reconnect a fitting and each time you perform routine maintenance.
m DANGER
Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, which can cause serious bodily injury or death and damage to property.
m WARNING: The gas connections of your
gas grill have been factory tested.
We do, however, recommend that you leak check all gas connections before operating your gas grill.
m WARNING: Perform these leak checks
even if your grill was dealer or store assembled.
m WARNING: You should check for gas
leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting.
NOTE: All factory-made connections have been thoroughly checked for gas leaks and the burner has been flame-tested. As a safety precaution, however, you should check all fittings for leaks before using your Weber
®
gas grill. Shipping and handling may loosen or damage a gas fitting.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
You will need: A spray bottle or brush or rag and a soap and water solution. (You can make your own soap and water solution by mixing 20% liquid soap with 80% water; or, you can purchase leak check solution in the plumbing section of any hardware store.)
1. Make sure burner control knob is turned off by pushing it in and turning it clockwise to the off
( ) position.
m WARNING: Do not ignite burner when
leak checking.
2. Turn gas supply on by turning the regulator control clockwise to the on position.
3. To check for leaks, wet fittings with the soap and water solution, using a spray bottle, brush or rag. If bubbles form, or if a bubble grows, there is a leak. Apply the soap and water solution to the following connections: a. Regulator-to-cartridge connection (A).
m WARNING: If there is a leak at
connection (A), remove cartridge. DO
NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Install a different cartridge and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution.
If a leak persists after installing a different cartridge, remove cartridge.
DO NOT OPERATE THE GRILL. Contact the Customer Service Representative in your area using the contact information on our website. Log onto: www.weber.com.

GRILLING METHODS - Direct Heat
The Summit
™
charcoal grill can be used for three grilling methods: Direct Grilling, Indirect Grilling, and Smoking. Before continuing, determine which grilling method will be used and follow the appropriate grilling instructions in this owner's guide.
GRILLING WITH DIRECT HEAT
Use the direct method for small, tender pieces of food that take less than 20 minutes to cook, such as: hamburgers, steaks, chops, kabobs, boneless chicken pieces, fish fillets, shellfish, and sliced vegetables.
With direct heat, the fire is right below the food
(A). It sears the surfaces of the food, developing flavors, texture, and delicious caramelization while cooking the food all the way to the center.
A direct fire creates both radiant and conductive heat. Radiant heat from the charcoal quickly cooks the surface of the food closest to it. At the same time, the fire heats the cooking grate rods, which conducts heat directly to the surface of the food and creates those unmistakable and lovely grill marks.
Grill Setup For Direct Heat
1. Place center support ring (B) in the middle position of the bowl, then place the fuel grate
(C) within the center support ring.
2. Pile charcoal on the fuel grate above the tip of the burner tube (D).
3. Light the charcoal. Refer to “BURNER IGNITION
- Lighting with Snap-Jet
™
gas ignition system.”
Note: Lid, dampers, and vents must remain open when igniting charcoal with gas ignition.
4. Put on barbecue mitts or gloves. With long tongs or charcoal rake, spread the charcoal evenly across the fuel grate (E). Make sure lit fuel is in contact with unlit.
5. Place the cooking grate on the top position of the bowl (F).
6. Close the lid and flip open the Rapidfire
™
lid damper (G).
7. Preheat the cooking grate for approximately
7-10 minutes or until desired temperature is reached.
8. Once the cooking grate is preheated, using a stainless steel bristle grill brush, clean the cooking grate (H).
Note: Use a stainless steel bristle grill brush. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grate or brush.
9. Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
Consult recipe for recommended cooking times and temperature. Reference the thermometer for desired temperature. Rotating the top damper will increase or decrease the desired heat inside kettle (I).
When Finished Cooking...
Close the lid damper and bowl vents to extinguish the charcoal.

GRILLING METHODS - Indirect Heat
GRILLING WITH INDIRECT HEAT
Use the indirect method for larger cuts of meat that require 20 minutes or more of grilling time, or for foods so delicate that direct exposure to the heat would dry them out or scorch them, such as: roasts, bone-in poultry pieces, whole fish, delicate fish fillets, whole chickens or turkeys, and ribs.
Indirect heat can also be used for finishing thicker foods or bone-in cuts that have been seared or browned first over direct heat.
With indirect heat, the heat is on both sides of the grill (A), or off to one side of the grill. The food sits on the portion of the cooking grate without charcoal directly below it.
The radiant and conductive heat are still factors, but they are not as intense while indirect cooking.
However, if the lid of the grill is closed, as it should be, there is another kind of heat generated: convection heat. Heat rises, reflects off the lid and inside surfaces of the grill, and circulates to slowly cook the food evenly on all sides.
Convection heat doesn’t sear the surface of the food the way radiant and conductive heat do. It cooks it more gently all the way to the center, like the heat in an oven.
Grill Setup For Indirect Heat
1. Place center support ring (B) in the middle position of the bowl, then place the fuel grate
(C) within the center support ring.
2. Place charcoal in the Char-Baskets
™
on the fuel grate above the tip of the burner tube
(D). Arrange Char-Baskets
™
so that they run parallel to the burner tube.
3. Light the charcoal. Refer to “BURNER IGNITION
- Lighting with Snap-Jet
™
gas ignition system.”
Note: Lid, dampers, and vents must remain open when igniting charcoal with gas ignition.
4. Put on barbecue mitts or gloves. With long tongs, move the Char-Baskets
™
so that they will be set on either side of the food (E).
Note: A disposable drip pan should be placed between the Char-Baskets
™
to collect drippings and minimize cleaning time.
Note: This grill has ample cooking space to cook indirectly and directly simultaneously. By moving the
Char-Baskets
™
to one side of the grill, you can cook directly over the baskets and use the remaining side of the cooking grate to cook indirectly.
5. Place the cooking grate on the top position of the bowl (F).
6. Close the lid and flip open the Rapidfire
™
lid damper (G).
7. Preheat the cooking grate for approximately
7-10 minutes or until desired temperature is reached.
8. Once the cooking grate is preheated, using a stainless steel bristle grill brush, clean the cooking grate (H).
Note: Use a stainless steel bristle grill brush. Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grate or brush.
9. Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
Consult recipe for recommended cooking times and temperature. Reference the thermometer for desired temperature. Rotating the top damper will increase or decrease the desired heat inside kettle.

GRILLING METHODS - Smoking
SMOKING
Smoking is cooking food at a low temperature, over an extended period of time (A). This technique is also referred to as the “low and slow method.”
Cooking low and slow keeps the juices and flavor in your food to produce an extremely tender piece of meat. Smoking works great for large cuts of meat such as: brisket, turkey, pork shoulder, ribs, and whole chicken.
Grill Setup For Smoking
1. Place fuel grate (B) in the bottom position of the bowl then place the center support ring in the middle position of the bowl (C).
2. Pile charcoal on the fuel grate above the tip of the burner tube (D).
3. Light the charcoal. Refer to “BURNER IGNITION
- Lighting with Snap-Jet
™
Gas Ignition System.”
Note: Lid, dampers, and vents must remain open when igniting charcoal with gas ignition.
4. Put on barbecue mitts or gloves. With long tongs, add Weber
®
wood chunks or chips to the perimeter of the lit charcoal (E).
5. Place the diffuser plate within the center support ring (F).
Note: A disposable drip pan should be placed on the diffuser plate to collect drippings and minimize cleaning time. Add two drip pans when smoking larger pieces of meat.
6. Place the cooking grate on the top position of the bowl (G).
Note: The hinges on the cooking grate and diffuser plate should line up accordingly to easily add charcoal while smoking.
7. Close the lid.
8. Once the grill reaches the smoke zone on the thermometer (H), slide the bowl vent arm to the smoking position (I) rotate the Rapidfire
™ lid damper (J) accordingly to maintain recommended smoke temperature.
9. Begin cooking. Consult recipe for recommended cooking times.
Refueling
Add coals as necessary to keep the temperature in the smoke zone.

TIPS & TRICKS FOR
GRILLING SUCCESS
Choose a Proper Location to Grill
• Only use this grill outdoors in a wellventilated area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway, or any other enclosed area.
• Keep the grill on a secure, level surface at all times.
• Do not use grill within two feet of any combustible material. Combustible materials include, but are not limited to, wood or treated wood decks, patios, and porches.
Preheat the Grill
Preheating your grill is a key factor when grilling both directly and indirectly; though should not be done before smoking. With all of the charcoal glowing red, the temperature under the lid should reach 500˚F after 7-10 minutes. The heat loosens pieces of food stuck to the grate, making it easy to brush off with a stainless steel bristle grill brush. Preheating also gets the grate hot enough to sear properly and helps prevent food from sticking to the grate.
Wear Gloves
Always wear barbecue mitts when using your charcoal grill. Vents, dampers, handles, and the bowl will all get hot during the grilling process, so be sure to keep your hands and forearms protected.
No Ignition Fuel, No Problem
If the fuel tank is empty, or running on low, you may also light your grill manually, as you would any other charcoal grill. Weber recommends using a chimney starter (sold separately) and lighter cubes (sold separately) to ignite charcoal manually. Refrain from using lighter fluid as it is messy and can transmit a chemical taste to your food.
Oil the Food, Not the Grate
Lightly oiling your food adds flavor and moisture, while also preventing the food from sticking to the grate. We do not recommend oiling the grate, as this could cause unnecessary flare-ups.
Put a Lid On It
Keep the lid closed as much as possible for these reasons:
1. Keeps the grate hot enough to sear the food when cooking directly.
2. Traps the smokiness that develops when fat and juices vaporize in the grill.
3. Prevents flare-ups by limiting oxygen.
Diffuser Plate Do’s and Don’ts
When smoking, the diffuser plate helps to maintain consistent low temperatures and redirects the heat and smoke around the food. However, the diffuser plate can also be used when cooking indirectly to maximize cooking space. Never put food or fuel on the diffuser plate.
Tame the Flame
Flare-ups happen, which is typically good because the flames sear the surface of the food.
However, too many flare-ups can cause the food to burn. Keeping the lid closed as much as possible limits the amount of oxygen inside the grill, which will help extinguish any flare-ups. If the flames become out of control, temporarily move the food over indirect heat until they die down.
Watch the Time and Temperature
Grilling in a colder climate or higher altitude will extend your cooking time. Hard blowing wind will raise the grill’s temperature.
Keep It Clean
Follow the basic routine maintenance instructions to keep your grill looking and grilling better for years to come. Be sure to remove accumulated ashes and old charcoal from the bottom of the kettle and the ash catcher before every use.
Smoking with Wood
Experimenting with different woods while smoking is encouraged to find the perfect balance of sweet and savory. While smoking over long periods of time, be sure to always use wood chunks instead of wood chips. Chunks allow for a longer smoke that penetrates slowly over a long cooking time. Wood chips work best for a shorter cooking time because they do not last as long during a long smoke.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL
Cleaning the inside of your grill before each use is essential to keep your grill operating at peak performance for years to come.
m WARNING: Turn grill off and wait for
it to cool before giving it a thorough cleaning.
Cleaning the Lid
From time to time you may notice “paint-like” flakes on the inside of the lid. During use, grease and smoke vapors slowly change into carbon and deposit on the inside of your lid. This deposit will eventually peel, and looks very similar to paint.
These deposits are nontoxic, but the flakes could fall onto your food if you do not clean the lid regularly.
You will need: A non-abrasive, nylon mesh scrubbing pad and a paper towel.
1. Scrub the carbonized grease on the inside of the lid with a scrubbing pad (A). To minimize future grease buildup, wipe the inside of the lid with a paper towel after each use; do so when the grill is warm (not hot) to the touch.
Cleaning the Grates & Diffuser Plate
If you have been cleaning your cooking grates routinely after preheating, the debris on them should be minimal. You should also make an effort to keep the debris and buildup on your diffuser plate to a minimum between meals. Utilization of a disposable drip pan will minimize the amount of cleaning.
You will need: A stainless steel bristle grill brush.
1. With cooking grates installed, brush the debris off your cooking grate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (B).
m CAUTION: Grill brushes should
be checked for loose bristles and excessive wear on a regular basis.
Replace brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grates or brush.
Weber recommends purchasing a new stainless steel bristle grill brush at the beginning of every spring.
2. Remove cooking grates.
3. With diffuser plate installed, brush the debris off the plate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.
4. Remove the diffuser plate.
5. With fuel grate installed, brush the debris off the fuel grate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush.
Quick Cleaning the Burner Tube
The burner tube should be periodically checked for blockage and quickly cleaned. Directions for a more thorough cleaning can be found in the
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE section.
You will need: A chenille pipe cleaner and a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush. Do not use a brush that has already been used to clean the cooking grates.
1. Insert the pipe cleaner through the end of the burner tube (C). Be careful not to damage the igniter electrode.
2. Insert the pipe cleaner through the burner slots (D).
3. Brush the outside of the burner tube with a stainless steel bristle brush.
Cleaning the Bowl
For proper air flow and better grilling, remove accumulated ashes and old charcoal from the bottom of the kettle and the ash catcher before every use.
1. Open lid and remove the cooking grates, fuel grate, and diffuser plate.
2. Clear ashes or chunks of old charcoal from the bottom of the bowl. Charcoal requires oxygen to burn, so be sure that nothing clogs the vents.
Move the handle of the One-Touch
™
cleaning system back and forth to move ash from the bottom of the grill into the ash catcher (E).
3. Squeeze the ash catcher handle to release it from the grill (F).
Alternative Method for Cleaning the Diffuser Plate
To remove heavy build-up on the diffuser plate it can be cleaned while it is warm.
You will need: A stainless steel bristle grill brush.
1. During preheating of grill, when temperature is 350° or below, brush the debris off the diffuser plate with a stainless steel bristle grill brush (A).

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF
THE GRILL
The outside of your grill may include stainless steel, porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces.
Weber recommends the following methods based on the surface type. Make sure that all of the charcoal is fully extinguished and the grill is cool before doing so.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean stainless steel using a non-toxic, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner or polish designed for use on outdoor products and grills. Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with abrasive pastes that do not clean or polish but change the color of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide film coating. Do not use paper towels.
You will need: A microfiber cloth, stainless steel cleaner.
1. Spray cleaner onto the stainless steel areas of the grill. Using a microfiber cloth, clean in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel.
Painted, Porcelain-Enameled
Surfaces, and Plastic Components
Clean painted, porcelain-enameled, and plastic surfaces on the outside of your grill with warm soapy water.
You will need: Warm soapy water, paper towels or cloth.
1. Wipe down the surfaces with warm soapy water.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
m IMPORTANT: Do not use any of the
following to clean your grill: abrasive stainless steel polishes or paints, cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene, oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers), and abrasive cleaning pads.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF GRILLS
THAT ARE IN UNIQUE ENVIRONMENTS
If your grill is subject to a particularly harsh environment, you will want to clean the outside more often. Acid rain, pool chemicals, and salt water can cause surface rusting to appear. Wipe down the outside of your grill with warm soapy water. Follow up with a rinse and thorough drying.
Additionally, you may want to apply a stainless steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust.
29
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
To keep your grill performing as safely and efficiently as on day one, we strongly recommend that you inspect and clean the burner tube at least once a year. Over time, the burner tube (A) may become dirty and blocked. Spiders and insects can nest in the venturi (B) section of the burner tube causing gas to flow back out of the air shutter (C).
Blocked and dirty burner slots (D) can restrict full gas flow. This obstruction could result in a fire in and around the burner tube under or near the ignition box, causing serious damage to your grill.
Common symptoms of blocked or dirty tubes may include:
• Gas smell in conjunction with the burner flames appearing very yellow and lazy.
• Burner making popping noises.
m DANGER
Failure to correct any problems described on this page may result in a fire, which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and cause damage to property.
BURNER FLAME PATTERN
The burner tube in your grill was manufactured for the correct air and gas mixture. When the burner tube is performing correctly, you will see a specific flame pattern. The tips should flicker yellow (E), with dark blue in the middle (F) and light blue at the burner tube (G). If the flames do not match the above flame pattern description, or if “popping” noises occur, it could be an indication that the burner needs cleaning.
THOROUGH CLEANING OF THE
BURNER TUBE
You will need: A torch, chenille pipe cleaner, and a clean stainless steel bristle grill brush. Do not use a brush that has already been used to clean the cooking grates.
1. Confirm that grill is off and cool.
2. Remove retaining clip (H) and hose fitting (I) from the burner tube.
3. Look inside the burner tube with a flashlight and insert the pipe cleaner through the end of the burner tube (J). Be careful not to damage the igniter electrode.
4. Insert the pipe cleaner through the burner slots (K).
5. Brush the outside of the burner tube with a stainless steel bristle brush (L).
6. Reinstall hose fitting and retaining clip onto burner tube. m WARNING: Prior to use, pull the
hose fitting to make sure that the retaining clip is in place and the hose fitting is securely attached inside the burner tube.
