We use the VCS40 everyday since we got it. It will and does cook almost everything you can cook indoors (I say almost because I haven't tried cooking my grandma's recipe for pasta sauce yet) The food comes out looking like it was cooked on a restaurant grill and tastes terrific! The nice thick heavy grill plates do a great job of evenly cooking the food and clean up is quick and easy. We have cooked all types of vegetables, toasted bread for Bruschetta, used the side burner to make a quick tomato sauce and cooked all types of meat and they come out perfect! It is worth every penny I spent on it.
The product was delivered within the time specified. There is a problem with a stripped thread in the door handle and I am still waiting for the replacement. Customer service has been very friendly and helpful in getting this resolved - we are waiting for the part from the manufacturer.

Use the product two to three times a week and it works very well. Would like a shorter grill time.

I AM VERY INPRESSED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION , GAUGE , AND QUALITY OF THIS LAST OF THE AMERICAN MADE GRILLS.
from Southwest Florida on 11/29/2007
Since physical stores offering this brand are difficult to find, shopping on-line made it easy to obtain the grill and model I was looking for. It is easy to use with great ability to control the temperature.

Great grill overall. Rotisserie bar and motor are good design. Rotisserie supports are flimsy and can allow bar to slip out of motor under load.
Door arrived with slight dent.

Construction is very good. Assembly was very fast as the grill came mostly assembled. Per the intructions, I first tried to assemble shelves on the unit and had difficulty getting screws started while working from underneath. I then tried assembling the shelves first and then attaching them to the unit which was much easier.
The only con is the tool hangers could be designed to be stronger.
After assembly I fired it up and Wow! This unit puts out some heat! A few nights later I grilled steaks and some vegetables and they turned out perfect. No need to go out anymore.
I am very pleased and hope to use the rotisserie this weekend.
My expectations were certainly exceeded

This is not only a great grill that is NOT made in China but it is atractive and grills great.
from Ontario on 10/8/2007
bigger than I needed but I only turn on the heat that I need.
from NJ on 10/2/2007
I was drawn to the looks and sturdy, high quality nature of this grill. It's heavy (over 200 lbs.), but that's a by-product of the cast iron grill unit. This thing carries a premium price but I'm glad I splurged, as I think I'll have it for a long, long time. The lights are a gimick but cool nonetheless.
Note that if you're going from a charcoal grill as I was to this (or any gas) grill, cooking times will be significantly longer.

Have not had for long but results very good
Easier to assemble than expected, came more togather than thought it would
Amazingly fuel efficient

[...]We have several neighborhood BBQs every summer and this grill is great for cooking for several people. Much faster than my pld one.

I was tempted to buy a cheaper, Chinese made grill, lack of quality was evident. My Summit is very high quality, and has ramped up my abilities three fold. It's abilities inspire mine.

We don't eat out as often now, we get better meals in our own backyard.!
from Weston, FL on 7/16/2007
This grill does a great job, very even cooking with no cool spots as I am aware of. The light options really do work and are not just a gimmick. I wish the thermometer went to at least 700 since it easily breaks 600 within 10 minutes.
My only real complaint is that the side burner needs some adjusting. The "low" setting is still very hot. Also, for the price, the cooking area could be a bit larger, but for my purposes, it's just fine, I can break out the Weber Q if I need additional area.
from Bothell, WA on 7/2/2007
The only flaw to this grill is that the stainless is not 304. Absolutely superb construction - very sturding and all sub-assemblies line up perfectly. Everything turns out with nice grill marks. The griddle is a must-have accessory - sizzling grilled onions on top of a perfectly seared burger is heavenly. The pop-up grill light and backlit dials are a sexy gimmic, but cool nontheless.
from Green Bay, WI on 6/5/2007
Best BBQ grill we owned so far. Efficient, keeps it's temperature very well, less gaz consumption. The only downside is that it is hard to find a cleaning brush for porcelain grid.
from San Diego on 5/16/2007
I love this grill. We grill about 3 times a week and it have done everything to perfection! I researched grills on Consumer report before I bought and although I had never heard of this brand it was the only BBQ that with great ratings on all their grills. NOW I KNOW WHY.
