Weber’s product engineers developed SmartControl technology to control how gas flows to individual burners. This technology continually monitors and immediately reacts to temperature changes so that the barbecue maintains a precise temperature, delivering an exceptional culinary experience. At the heart of the SmartControl technology is an integrated electronic gas valve system that continuously looks for the presence of gas flame across the barbecue’s burners and infrared (IR) broiler. The technology automatically triggers flame re-ignition when needed to ensure a safe grilling experience.
For the ultimate smart and easy- to-manage grilling experience, Summit gas barbecue owners can also rely on the Weber Connect App. With approximately 600 recipes and guided cooking programs and automatic alerts and notifications, Weber Connect technology makes barbecuing while entertaining even less stressful, giving owners more time to prepare and socialise with
