Weber Summit ® Smart Gas Grill Earns Prestigious Red Dot Product Design Honor for Its Breakthrough Gas Grilling Experience
PALATINE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Weber LLC, a global leader in outdoor cooking innovation, technology, and products, announced today that its premium Summit ® Smart FS38X gas grill received a prestigious Red Dot award in the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025 competition for its breakthrough precision grilling and culinary experience. The Summit Smart gas grill, the most technologically advanced, versatile, and premium offering in Weber's product portfolio, is available on and from select retailers in the U.S. and EMEA. 'We're honored to receive the prestigious Red Dot Award, a global recognition of excellence in product design,' said Mike Jacobs, President of Weber. 'The Summit Smart gas grill represents a bold step forward in gas grilling, where premium craftsmanship, precision engineering, and cutting-edge smart technology come together seamlessly. After thousands of hours of research, development, and testing, our team created a grill with a striking, modern design and intuitive software that gives users unmatched control and confidence every time they cook outdoors. It's unlike anything that's come before it, and we're proud to see it transforming backyards, patios, gardens, and terraces into elevated, high-tech culinary destinations.' The Red Dot Design Award, established in 1955, is one of the world's largest and most prestigious design competitions, receiving submissions from more than 60 countries. ABOUT THE SUMMIT SMART FS38X GAS GRILL At the heart of the Summit Smart FS38X gas grill is SmartControl™ technology—the Company's proprietary digital platform that empowers users to preheat, cook, monitor, control individual burners, and shut down the grill. Traditional knobs are replaced by smart burner control buttons and a weatherproof, high-definition LED touchscreen, or users can operate the grill remotely through the Weber Connect ® 2.0 App. Using the touchscreen or via the Weber Connect 2.0 App, grill owners can: Set, adjust, and maintain precise temperatures, Choose direct, indirect, or manual grilling modes with on-screen guidance, Monitor preheating progress and see where to place food on the cooking grate, Track fuel levels, Receive alerts when food is perfectly cooked and rested, and Power down. This breakthrough grilling experience is driven by an integrated electronic gas valve system that continuously monitors flame presence across each main burner and the grill's top-down infrared (IR) broiler. Like a finely tuned orchestra, it dynamically adjusts gas flow through independently controlled valves to deliver consistent, even heat and precise temperature control. This flame-sensing technology also adds a sophisticated layer of safety, automatically re-igniting burners or safely shutting off gas if ignition fails. The Summit Smart FS38X gas grill also takes cooking creativity and versatility to a new level. It offers a first-in-class top-down IR broiler to rapidly sear and caramelize dishes for that often elusive, sizzling chophouse crust and rich flavor. When paired with nearly 1,000 recipes and guided programs in the Weber Connect 2.0 App, this grill makes outdoor cooking more intuitive, creative, and stress-free. Additionally, this ultra-premium grill comes equipped with supersized Flavorizer ® bars, a spacious cooking area, reliable electronic ignition, and a powerful PureBlu™ burner system. Elements such as extra-large prep and serve side tables, a side burner, and Nightvision ® motion-sensing lid-integrated LED lights that illuminate the entire grilling surface—from the side table to the grates—save time and make cooking delicious meals easy. Summit Smart gas grills come in stainless steel or porcelain enamel and feature high-end design and culinary touches, including a tuck-away rotisserie motor, soft-close cabinet doors, and a stainless steel smoker box. These grills come ready to use with the Weber Crafted ® Outdoor Kitchen Collection, a variety of grillware accessories, including an air crisping basket, pizza stone, wok, griddle, and more. A 15-year limited warranty supports each liquid propane and natural gas Summit Smart FS38X gas grill, and owners have access to the Weber Grilling Concierge, a specialized helpline staffed by in-house barbecue experts. Summit Smart gas grills start at $5,199 and are available from select retailer partners and on ABOUT RED DOT DESIGN AWARDS The Red Dot Award: Product Design is one of the most prestigious design competitions worldwide. Since 1955, it has recognized products that stand out for their exceptionally high design quality.

One lottery jackpot. Six winners. Three bought their tickets in Miami-Dade
Six Florida Lottery players from South Miami-Dade to near the Florida-Alabama border, shared the same thought and shared a Sunday Fantasy 5 jackpot. The Fantasy 5 midday drawing of 7, 12, 16, 22 and 35 matched six tickets, none of which were Quick Picks. The Miami-Dade tickets were bought at a Kendall Fresco y Mas, 15050 SW 72nd St.; a North Miami-Dade Winn-Dixie, 14900 NW Seventh Ave.; and the Murphy USA gas station at 17700 S. Dixie Hwy. The other tickets came from grocery stores in Pensacola (Red Dot) and Jacksonville (Snappy) and a gas station in Thonotosassa. So many tickets on the midday drawing, which always has the smaller jackpot, meant each ticket was worth $8,843.21. To cash these tickets, head for the Florida Lottery main office in Tallahassee or one of the district offices, which are open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Miami district office is at 14621 Oak Ln. in Miami Lakes. Appointments aren't required, but can be made by emailing MIARC@ or calling 305-364-3080.
