Title: Looking to purchase a Summit Gold
Post by: Zrschaef on October 14, 2019, 10:18:48 AM
Does anyone have any experience with an older 4 burner summit gold?  I found a heck of a deal on one but the seller says it has issues lighting and that it needs new burners.  I do not have any pictures of the actual grill but it looks like the one below.  Is there any thing specific I should check on it when I go look at it?

Be sure to check the front of the fire box.  They are prone to problems with the way they are designed.
Also, the cabinet is notorious for rusting out.  I go out of my to avoid Summits for a variety of reasons,
but those are two of the main reasons.  Would need to see some pics to help you out more.

Thank you!  I'll be sure to request pictures of those areas before making the drive.
