I have a very good friend of mine that asked me what I would recommend regarding a gas grill to use on his farm. He has close to 400 acres and there is a covered area that he uses for family gatherings and what-not. He isn't looking to turn it into an outdoor kitchen but wants a gas grill large enough to cook about 12 steaks. I've looked at the reviews here and also outside of the site and was thinking the Weber Summit S-670 would be a good choice. I'd love to hear others thoughts on this from personal experiences and also any alternative recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Weber Summit Charcoal Grill
That Weber is very nice but DCS has more power
DCS grills are engineered for people who want to cook just like a professional chef in their own home. This 48-inch propane gas freestanding grill features four 25,000 BTU U-shaped stainless steel burners that push an impressive total of 100,000 BTUs of cooking power. Each burner features a heat shield that directs heat upwards, maximizing grilling efficiency. DCS grills offer Ceramic Radiant Technology, which is a layer of ceramic rods placed between the burners and cooking grate. The rods provide intense, yet even heat, ensuring the temperature is consistent across the entire grilling surface. This innovative feature allows you to sear meat to perfection anywhere on the cooking grid. This grill boasts an 855 square inch main cooking surface with durable, double-sided cast stainless steel cooking grids. One side has a gentle curve which supports and handles fish and vegetables. The other side of the grates accommodates steaks and other cuts of meat, capturing grease while creating perfect sear lines. Large food items can comfortably fit on the grill, thanks to a hood designed with extra space and a full 90 degrees of movement. DCS Series 9 grills feature a wider range of cooking temperatures with valves that can be turned down to as low as 300 degrees at the grilling surface. The patented Grease Management system effectively channels grease and oil away from the flame while grilling, which greatly reduces flare-ups. The 18,000 BTU infrared rear burner functions perfectly for slow-roasting, and the included rotisserie kit can accommodate up to 50 lbs! The rotisserie is not in use, the spit rod can conveniently be stored under the drip pan handle. The charcoal smoker tray includes its own cooking grate and can easily be placed over one of the burners. Simply remove one of the cast stainless steel cooking grids and ceramic rod trays, then place the charcoal smoker box over the burner. Either grill directly over it, or fill it with wood chunks to add more smoke to everything on your grill. This grill has a multi-level warming area with 2 warming racks and a broiling pan that can be rearranged to suit your needs. This gives you 738 square inches of additional versatile cooking area. The push and turn hot surface ignition operates with the ease of an indoor range, while intuitive lighting from a 40-watt halogen Smart Beam BBQ grill light, as well as the two hood lights, add visibility while you grill. LED lights in the knob bezels glow white when the grill is on, and orange when that specific burner is in use. The temperature gauge allows you to control cooking temperatures. Every DCS grill is handcrafted and constructed entirely of heavy gauge, type 304 stainless steel. The DCS CAD grill cart is constructed of 18 gauge, 304 grade stainless steel and features a pull-out propane tank storage bin, drawer for trash can storage, one small drawer for holding grilling tools, and one large drawer for holding larger items such as wood chips or grill cover. The larger drawer can also be filled with ice to keep drinks or food chilled.

I own an S-670 and can vouch for it, it's a great grill. I also like the Napoleons, especially the models with the side sear. If he's only using it intermittently I wouldn't advise him to spend more than $3000, not worth it imho.

I've had a Weber Summit as well. Great grill lasted years in a salty air location. Replaced the burners twice. Once under warranty once out of pocket. I gave it to my sister. It is 10 years old and still going. Box is rusting but it still cooks. That said I bought a DCS and there is no comparison. Time will tell concerning longevity though.

My Summit S650 is still going strong after over 10 years of heavy use. I live in the mountains, though, not in sea air. No replacements except a side burner ring plate, due to my own personal FUBAR (for details read here: https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...autionary-tale. )

- If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
I like all Webers for warranty and parts availability if nothing else. I'll probably never own a Summit gasser, but have been using Genesis gas grills since my dad got a Genesis 3 burner in 1985 at the local Ace hardware.
