Visionary and exclusive: While it all started in Chicago in 1952 with George Stephen’s idea to transform a simple ship’s buoy into a kettle grill, this year Weber presents the most modern SmartControl gas grill in the entire history of the company: the ” Summit FS38X”, for restaurant quality grilled food and with a Top Heat infrared searing zone for temperatures up to over 815 °C, the likes of which the BBQ market has never seen before. It uses the heat from above for even better grilling results without contact with flames. Another highlight: the 8-inch color touchscreen.
Industry leading SmartControl technology
The new Summit FS38X Smart Gas Grill features industry-leading SmartControl technology and is the first grill of its kind with a large 8-inch HD color touchscreen. The smart technology works together with the Weber Connect app and provides automatic control, monitors the grill and provides intelligent, precise heat control. This also makes it possible to monitor the grill remotely and adjust the heat of individual burners. The basis of the SmartControl technology is an integrated electronic gas valve system that continuously checks for the presence of a gas flame in the burners and infrared burner of the grill. The technology automatically reignites the flame when necessary to ensure a safe grilling experience.
Most advanced Sear Zone on the grill market
High heat is easy for the Summit FS38X Smart Gas Grill. The grill impresses with Weber’s first and most advanced high-performance infrared searing zone. The most important thing: from 815 °C it does not affect the food from below, but from above – and is therefore much more effective. “The high heat infrared searing zone enables the highest temperatures within minutes and is a culinary aid for caramelizing, roasting, gilding and grilling. In this way, steaks are prepared to the highest perfection,” says Weber grill world champion and meat sommelier Patrick Bayer from experience. The temperature is individually adjustable; By raising or lowering the rack, it can always be optimally adjusted for different cuts of steak and other grilled food.
Sophisticated design and large grilling surfaces
The versatile grill also impresses visually. The luxurious design is characterized by timeless elegance, clear lines and high-quality stainless steel. The large side tables offer more work space. Nightvision LED lights with motion detection integrated into the lid illuminate the entire grill area. “Equipped with oversized seasoning rails, a huge cooking surface, reliable electronic ignition and the powerful Pureblu burner system, this BBQ entertainer’s dream cooks as good as it looks,” describes Daniel Ipser, Managing Director of Weber-Stephen Austria. A game changer for all grill masters who are looking for a powerful, culinary eye-catcher for their outdoor area.
Flavor highlights are pre-programmed
A grill that prepares every recipe in restaurant quality as if by itself: The large display on the grill is compatible with Weber Connect technology – an online recipe collection with all the tips and tricks, but above all step-by-step instructions. This allows you to select your favorite recipe directly on the grill display and start grilling according to the instructions. Another highlight: Thanks to the technology, you can set the right heat directly on the display instead of using mechanical temperature controls – regardless of whether you are grilling directly or indirectly. Highest precision.
