Weber Summit · Parts Guide
Burner tube replacement is the most significant maintenance task on Weber Summit gas grills — after 8-15 years of premium-grade construction, even Weber's flagship burners eventually rust through, warp, or develop holes that affect flame consistency. The fix is straightforward but the parts are model-specific: Summit 400 Series (Part #67553) takes 4 main burners, Summit 600 Series (Part #67554) takes 6, plus separate sear burner (#70866) and smoker burner (#70307) replacements for models with those features. This guide identifies your specific Summit first, then connects you to the exact burner tubes for your grill — including the complete 2024+ redesigned Summit lineup.
This page is a Summit-specific deep dive on burner tubes. For cross-model burner tube comparisons across Weber's full lineup (Spirit, Genesis, Summit), see our Weber Burner Tubes guide. For sibling tier guides, see Weber Spirit Burner Tubes and Weber Genesis Burner Tubes. For all Summit replacement parts, see the Weber Summit Parts hub.
Diagnosis
Knowing the signs of burner tube failure helps you catch problems before they affect cooking performance or create gas safety issues.
Healthy Summit burner tubes produce uniform blue flame across each tube's length. Failing tubes show yellow flame, weak spots, or gaps. Often caused by rust holes or grease clogging gas ports. Summit owners typically notice uneven cooking results before visible damage.
Premium Summit burner tubes are stainless steel but still corrode over 10-15 years of outdoor exposure. Visible rust spots, pitting, or orange staining indicate end-of-life approaching. Severe rust creates holes that let gas escape improperly — a safety concern.
High-heat cycles cause metal fatigue. Bent, split, or visibly warped Summit burner tubes distribute heat poorly and may leak gas. Summit tubes are heavier-gauge than Spirit and Genesis tubes due to premium construction, but eventually fatigue. Summit's longer expected lifespan (10-15+ years) reflects this.
If Summit burners take 5+ seconds to light or produce dangerous flare-ups, tubes may be partially clogged or damaged. This is a safety issue requiring immediate replacement. Summit's higher BTU output means flare-ups can be more dramatic than on Spirit or Genesis grills.
Typical Summit burner tube lifespan: 10-15+ years with normal use. Summit tubes typically last longer than Spirit or Genesis tubes because of premium construction (heavier-gauge stainless, larger diameter). For Summit owners reaching the 10-year mark, plan for burner tube replacement as routine maintenance.
Step 1
Summit burner tube specifications vary across generations. The 2007-2023 era is most common (Part #67553 / #67554), but pre-2000 Summit and current 2024+ redesigned Summit use different parts. Identify your grill carefully here.

Quick Summit identification rule: count your main burners and check production year. 4 burners + 2007-2023 = Summit 400 Series (use Part #67553). 6 burners + 2007-2023 = Summit 600 Series (use Part #67554). 5 burners + 2024+ = current Summit Series (different parts entirely). Pre-2000 Summit grills use different mounting than modern Summit. When in doubt, contact Weber at 1-800-446-1071 with your serial number.
Most Common Tier
Summit 600 Series — the flagship of the 2007-2023 Summit lineup. 6-burner premium gas grill with the most owner volume. Most current Summit owners have 600 Series grills.
Official Weber stainless steel burner tube kit for Summit 600 Series (2007-2023). Set of 6 main burner tubes, 20-1/2" long each. Each tube features air/fuel mixture adjustment shutter with insect screen and forked mounting tab. Fits Summit E-620, S-620, E-640, S-640, E-650, S-650, E-660, S-660, E-670, S-670.
Individual stainless steel burner tube for Summit 400 and 600 Series (2007-2023). 20-1/2" long, sold individually. Use if replacing only 1-2 burners rather than full set. Same dimensions as full-kit burners (kits are 4-pack or 6-pack of these individual tubes).
304-grade stainless aftermarket burner tubes for Summit 600 Series. Set of 6 tubes matching OEM dimensions (20-1/2"). Available from QuliMetal, Plowo, Cmanzhi, SafBbcue, Hongso. Replaces Weber Part #67554.
Stainless steel sear burner tube specifically for Summit 660 and 670 models (2007-2023). The sear station is the additional dedicated burner positioned for high-heat searing. Only fits 660/670 variants — Summit 620/640/650 models do NOT have sear stations and don't need this part.
Sear station identification on Summit 600 Series: only Summit 660 and 670 models have a sear burner. Summit 620/640/650 do NOT have sear stations. Look for the smaller 7th burner positioned for searing — present on 660/670, absent on lower 600 Series models. The standard burner kit (#67554) does NOT include the sear burner — order it separately if needed.
Dedicated stainless steel smoker burner for Summit 400 and 600 Series with integrated smoker boxes (2007-2023). The smoker burner heats the smoker box separately from the main cooking area, allowing wood chip smoking. Most Summit 600 Series models include smoker boxes; verify your model has one before ordering.
4-Burner Summit
The 4-burner Summit 400 Series — smaller than the 600 Series flagship but still premium-tier. Same per-tube specifications, fewer burners total.
Official Weber stainless steel burner tube kit for Summit 400 Series (2007-2023). Set of 4 main burner tubes, 20-1/2" long each. Same per-tube specifications as 600 Series (Part #67554) but 4 tubes instead of 6. Fits Summit E-420, S-420, E-440, S-440, E-450, S-450, E-460, S-460, E-470, S-470.
304-stainless aftermarket burner tubes for Summit 400 Series. Set of 4 tubes matching OEM dimensions (20-1/2"). Available from SafBbcue, QuliMetal, Plowo, Hongso. Replaces Weber Part #67553.
Some specific Summit 400 Series variants (460, 470) use Part #67557 instead of standard #67553. Always verify your exact model number before ordering. Same 20-1/2" main burner specifications but specific to these variants. Plowo aftermarket equivalent also available.
Important note for Summit 400 owners: even within the 400 Series, specific model variants (460, 470, 640, 650) sometimes use slightly different part numbers. Always verify your exact Summit model number before ordering. The 2-3 letter prefix (E-460, S-460, etc.) plus the specific number identifies the exact variant. Weber customer service (1-800-446-1071) can confirm part numbers from your serial number.
Pre-2000 and Post-2024
Summit grills outside the 2007-2023 era use different burner tube specifications. Pre-2000 Summit had different mounting; current 2024+ Summit redesigned the entire system.
Stainless steel burner tubes for pre-2000 Summit grills with side controls or transitional designs. Configuration varies by exact model — 400 Series uses 6-tube set, 600 Series uses 9-tube set. Contact Weber directly with serial number for exact part identification.
Burner tubes for current Weber Summit Series (2024+ redesign). Updated specifications vs 2007-2023 Summit — NOT INTERCHANGEABLE with older Summit parts. Verify model and production year before ordering. For grills still under 12-year warranty (cookbox/lid) or 10-year warranty (burner tubes), file warranty claims first.
For all Summit grills outside the 2007-2023 standard era: Weber's "Find Parts" tool at weber.com/support is the most reliable resource. Enter your model number and serial number to see compatible parts. Authorized dealers like grillparts.com also specialize in legacy Summit support. For grills under warranty, file claims with Weber first before purchasing retail replacement parts.
Buying Strategy
Burner tubes are gas-carrying parts where fit precision matters more. Here's how to choose between OEM and aftermarket for Summit specifically.
Manufactured by Weber to exact factory tolerances. Perfect fit guaranteed. Premium 304+ grade stainless steel. Includes mounting hardware. Preserves warranty on Summit grills under 10-year warranty. Direct Weber customer service for installation support.
Buy OEM when:
Third-party manufacturers (QuliMetal, Plowo, Cmanzhi, SafBbcue, Hongso) make 304-stainless tubes dimensionally compatible with Weber Summit. 40-60% cheaper than OEM. Wide Amazon availability with Prime shipping.
Buy aftermarket when:
For Summit burner tubes specifically: aftermarket is genuinely good value on 10+ year old Summit grills (the 2007-2023 production tier). Premium Summit OEM construction means even aftermarket replacements perform well. Stick with brands that have 500+ 4.5-star reviews. For Summit grills still under Weber's 10-year warranty (purchased 2014 or later), OEM preserves coverage and is worth the premium.
DIY Installation
Summit burner tube replacement is moderate-difficulty DIY. 45-60 minutes with basic tools. Critical safety step: test for gas leaks before firing up.
Safety first: turn off gas supply completely
Turn off LP tank valve or NG supply valve. Turn all grill control knobs to OFF. Disconnect gas hose from LP tank or NG supply. Prevents accidental gas flow during repair.
Remove cooking grates and flavorizer bars
Lift cooking grates out (Summit grates are heavier than Spirit/Genesis — use both hands). Remove flavorizer bars from support brackets. Set aside cleanly.
Remove heat deflectors
Summit grills have heat deflectors above each burner tube. Lift each deflector out — they sit on small mounting tabs without screws.
Unscrew burner tube mounting
Locate mounting screws at the back of each burner tube (inside the cookbox). Use Phillips screwdriver. Summit burner tubes typically have 1-2 mounting screws per tube. 6 screws total for 600 Series, 4 for 400 Series.
Disconnect burner tubes from gas valves
At the front of the grill, each burner tube connects to a gas valve via venturi. Gently wiggle and pull each tube straight back. DO NOT FORCE — excessive force damages valves. Summit's premium construction means tubes may be slightly tighter-fitted than Spirit or Genesis.
Install new burner tubes
Slide each new burner tube's venturi end onto the valve tube. Ensure proper alignment. Reinstall mounting screws at back. Repeat for all 4 (or 6) main burners. If your Summit has sear burner (660/670) or smoker burner, install those separately.
Reinstall heat deflectors, flavorizer bars, and grates
Replace heat deflectors first, then flavorizer bars, then cooking grates. Verify everything seats properly.
CRITICAL: Test for gas leaks
Reconnect gas supply. With all knobs OFF, turn on gas. Mix dish soap and water; spray on all gas connections at the back of each burner tube. Look for bubbles — any bubbling indicates gas leak. Address before lighting.
Test burner operation
Light each burner individually. Check for uniform blue flame along the entire length. Yellow flame or weak spots indicate improper airflow or burner seating — turn off, let cool, check venturi alignment.
Avoid These
Mistakes that waste money on wrong parts or create safety issues after installation.
The most common Summit ordering mistake. 2007-2023 Summit uses Part #67553 (4 burners) or #67554 (6 burners). Current 2024+ Summit uses entirely different parts due to the major 2024 redesign — 5 burners at 13,000 BTU each, top-down infrared burner, updated mounting. Despite sharing the 'Summit' name, these are essentially different products. Always verify production year before ordering.
Summit 660/670 models have a sear station with separate burner tube (Part #70866) — NOT included in the standard 600 Series burner kit (#67554). Order both main burner kit AND sear burner if you want complete burner replacement on a 660/670. Lower 600 Series models (620/640/650) don't have sear stations and don't need this part.
Most Summit 400/600 Series include integrated smoker boxes with dedicated smoker burners (Part #70307). The standard burner kit doesn't include the smoker burner — order separately. Inspect your Summit for the smoker box (typically positioned to one side of the main cooking area). If present, the smoker burner is part of the complete system.
Propane (LP) and Natural Gas (NG) Summit burner tubes have different orifice sizes. Installing wrong-fuel tubes results in incorrect flame and unsafe combustion. Verify your grill's fuel type — check the regulator or fuel connection for LP/NG markings — before ordering. Some Summit kits include orifices; some require separate orifice ordering.
After installing new burner tubes, the soapy water leak test at gas connections is non-negotiable. Skipping this can result in slow gas leaks that cause fires or explosions when the grill is lit. The test takes 5 minutes and requires only soapy water. Always perform before first use.
