The Home Depot Kitchen Outdoor Weber Summit Grills Easy Fall Recipes

 

Grilling season is far from over! 

The Mister and I’ve been all about new ways to stay inspired by entertaining ourselves at home.

We started the year with a few new cooking appliances that inspired more creative yet easy recipes. The more new recipes we tried, the more creative we got. From oxtail stew to she-crab dip- and my favorite- Mexican casserole.

The more we created (and ate), the more cooking inspiration we gained. Then our new obsession really caught fire, and we transferred our energy outdoors.

We expanded on our DIY foodie obsession with the addition of an outdoor kitchen and entertaining area in our backyard!

By autumn, The Mister had designed and built the perfect backyard haven for hosting, hanging out and hot searing our favorite recipes!

Weber Grill Sear Station

It’s October, and we’re just getting started- kicking off grilling season just like autumn football ushers you right into the holidays.

Our favorite addition to the backyard, by far, is our Weber Summit Grill from The Home Depot

I keep telling everyone that this grill is the real deal!

Don’t have an outdoor kitchen? No worries- all you need is the Weber Summit Grill.

This grill is the life of the party and the ultimate backyard chef’s station easy enough for anyone to use- including me! 

Weber’s impressive features like a smart fuel-level check and lighted control knobs allow a novice like me to grill with confidence. 

I don’t even need The Mister on call (he’s a retired firefighter, btw). I can achieve the perfect professional sear, with safety at the forefront of it all!

 

The Home Depot & Weber Grills

 

After all The Mister’s hard work, he can now sit back and “watch me whip and watch me Nae Nae” in our outdoor kitchen!

But he couldn’t resist sitting still. The wonders of our Weber Grill had him at ‘Sear Station!’

Grilling with control!

It’s nearly impossible to overcook on the Weber Summit Grill with infrared uniform cooking, built-in thermometer and an easy included recipe card grilling-guide.

There are grill times and instructions for how to pre-heat the grill for direct heat (good for small, tender meat that cooks quickly- hamburgers, steaks, and veggies & shellfish).

 

The Home Depot Smart Grills

 

Or indirect heat instructions to grill larger, tougher foods (roasts, whole chickens, ribs & bone-in cuts).

There’s also the handy Weber Grills app for grilling techniques, timers and tools.

Still, The Mister kept jumping in to give me a hand!

 

The Home Depot Weber Summit Grill Best Recipes For The Holidays

 

The Home Depot Weber Summit Grill Best Recipes

 

Check out these 5 innovative entertaining ideas for the holidays at home

Host your household safely, while experiencing a new holiday setting— by way of your own back yard!

1. Cook your turkey or bird directly on the grill’s large cooking area of four burners with powerful heat.

2. This Weber Grill is designed to work like a convection oven with a large lid closure to keep the heat from escaping while cooking. I see a “Best Bird” award in your Thanksgiving future!

3. Even more- there’s the Weber Summit’s rotisserie for whole chickens with a convenient slide-out grease tray and disposable drip pan. Y’all, having your own rotisserie at home— priceless! It’s foodie eye-candy watching it rotate!

4. Enjoy autumn and holiday nights out back and make hot cocoa or yummy warm apple cider using the grill’s convenient side burner with adjustable temperature settings.

5. If you’re an ole grill pro, you’ll appreciate the autumn ambiance of the built-in smoke-box. Experiment with different wood chips to find the perfect smoke flavor to suit your taste!

    I love the way your outdoor cooking area looks. We live in an apartment complex, and only have a small patio (and management doesn’t allow grilling on the patios). When my husband grills, he has to haul his tiny grill out of the storage room and then do his barbecuing away from our apartment and then carry the food back to our apartment. One of my dreams is to one day have a yard (even a tiny yard), where we can grill, eat, and relax right there. It would be so nice to have a grill that has the features that you’ve described about this grill.

    • October 26, 2020 / 9:05 am

      Hi, Sandy! Yes, I do recall how apartments have this safety rule. Add the Weber Summit Grill to your new home wishlist (Pin an image here). I love creating lists like this, especially by way of a Pinterest Board. It’s fun to come back & see these dreams checked off!

    Love your outdoor kitchen! Grills have really come a long way since the one my dad used and I know hubby would love one like this. It has so many awesome features it could almost take the place of my stove, lol!

    • October 26, 2020 / 9:11 am

      My thoughts exactly, Sheila! This grill is actually the whole kitchen, LOL!! With even more features than my indoor kitchen stove!

    This is a really nice grill. We love to fire up ours up all year round even though we live in the Midwest. Thanks for the article. This Weber grill is on top of my wish list!

    • October 26, 2020 / 9:25 am

      You’ve go the right idea, Debbie! Grilling season doesn’t have to end! Pin a pic of the Weber Summit Grill to your Pinterest Board. That’s my favorite way to create wishlists!

    Reading this post made me so hungry. That Weber grill is awesome. I totally agree that grilling season is not over. My brother in law grills year round. This grill would be the perfect gift for him. Knowing the delivery is free as well as the assembly is an added plus because he’s a great cook but he’s not very handy with putting things together. I love the pole for the chicken or the turkey. Thank you for sharing your family with us.

    • October 26, 2020 / 9:28 am

      You’re so welcome, Della! I love how your BIL doesn’t shut down his grill! The Weber Summit is the perfect gift for him, and it’s awesome that delivery and assembly are included! At my house, The Mister enjoys building and assembly. I watched him & my son put our grill together, and I must say Weber made it pretty easy! 😉

    My family enjoys grilling and entertaining. Weber Grills are known to be some of the best! I love your outdoor grilling area and your dog is also adorable!

    • October 26, 2020 / 9:32 am

      Thanks so much, Andrea! Like your family, outdoor entertaining is our jam! Sounds like Weber Summit is the perfect gift for your family, too!

    I do not have an area for outdoor cooking that is big enough. Your area looks great.

      Yes, Jo-Ann, the Weber Summit is pretty robust! I love that they offer various grill types and sizes.

    I love the grill. It is big enough to accommodate a cookout for family and friends.

      You’re so right! The perfect grill for entertaining outdoors- and timely too! 😉

  21. Tamara Regan
    October 26, 2020 / 9:48 am

    After seeing your setup I think I will look into getting a rotisserie for our Weber grill. What a wonderful way to make whole chickens and still be able to cook on the grill section.

    • October 26, 2020 / 10:17 am

      Oh great idea! I know the Weber Summit Grill comes with a rotisserie- I wonder if you can add that as an accessory to another Weber Grill? Certainly worth looking up!! 😉

    We love to grill throughout the year. Even in the snow at times. Love your grilling area. Very creative!

        This looks like a big bbq. I would love to have one of these, we are due for a new one. Ours is on it’s last leg. Whole chicken on the bbq is the best!

        • October 26, 2020 / 12:00 pm

          Yes, Tammy! The Weber Summit Grill had me at rotisserie! I highly recommend this grill as your next addition!

    This is a nice grill! We grill year round here. I like that you can rotisserie a chicken with a convenient slide-out grease tray and disposable drip pan.. I had never seen that feature on a grill before.

    • October 26, 2020 / 11:56 am

      Susan, being the clean-freak that I am, the slide-out grease tray is also one of my favorite features!

    We would definitely grill all year if we could. But in the dead of winter, it just gets too cold here in Kentucky. The good thing about that is that we always have that to look forward to once spring rolls around.

    • October 29, 2020 / 2:28 pm

      I like that- keeping it as something to look forward to!

    I love grilling shrimp and chicken mainly on the grill. I feel like people that live in the warmer weather that have the great deeds on grilling throughout the year LOL.

    We will grill in a blizzard! Yeah, we have done it. Nothing better than grilled meat even if it means shaking off the snow.
