The Weber Summit E-470 is amazing to look at and full of features, being built to last in Weber’s own factory , and is constructed around a powder coated steel frame on which are mounted the two porcelain-enamelled doors and the porcelain-enamelled lid, with cast aluminium end caps, plus the two stainless steel side tables all of which are finished off with chunky stainless steel fittings. All this is then completed by the stainless steel control panel with it’s illuminated control knobs.

Recessed into the side tables of the Weber Summit E-470 are a side burner and a Tuck-Away rotisserie motor. The side burner gives the opportunity for preparing sauces or boiling vegetables on the barbecue, but when it is not needed to be used a flush fitted protective lid means that the side burner surface can be used for food preparation or storage. The side burner is controlled using it’s own independent control knob with it’s own independent ignition. The Tuck-Away rotisserie motor, which locks up or down into position thanks to a spring-loaded clip, neatly contains its own power cable to prevent it hanging loose to get in the way when not used when it is also concealed by a flush mounted lid.

Below the stainless steel lid sits the beating heart of the Weber Summit E-470, the cast aluminium cook box containing it’s large cooking area with it’s comprehensive range of grilling features such as the included rotisserie, rear rotisserie burner, warming rack, stainless steel Gourmet BBQ System cooking grates, Sear Station and Smoker Box Burner that really do put the Weber Summit range in the front line of barbecues.
