Summer on the Grill: Why a Weber Upgrade Might Be Your Best Summer Move

Ben from Selectrix popped back in this week, armed with tongs, wisdom, and that classic Weber enthusiasm. If you’ve been tossing up whether to stick with the same old barbie or finally step into the good life, Ben says this is the summer to level up.

Why the Premium Range Matters
The Weber Premium line isn’t just about flash features. It’s about control, consistency, and that unmistakable smoky finish you simply don’t get from a budget grill. Ben broke it down in plain language: a premium Weber gives you precision. You can slow roast, reverse sear, bake, smoke, grill, and walk away knowing it’ll behave exactly how you set it.

The Big Game-Changer
Ben’s favourite upgrade this season is the Premium heat control system. It gives you even temperature across the entire surface. Translation: no burnt sausages on one side and sad, pale chicken on the other. You’re the hero of the deck, not the frantic flipper.

What Makes Weber… Weber
• Heavy-duty construction built to last years, not seasons
• Even heat, every time
• Smoker, oven, roaster, grill all in one
• Accessories that actually earn their keep (looking at you, convection tray)
• Easy clean-up so you can stay with the crowd, not the hose

Perfect for Wānaka Summer
Hot evenings, lake dips, mates rolling in with a bag of buns and no plan. With a Weber Premium, that turns into an actual meal rather than a panic cook. Ben reckons that if you invest once, you’ll never go back.

Want to See It in Action?
Ben is at Selectrix Wānaka and genuinely loves showing people how to use these things properly. If you’re thinking summer parties, Christmas day ham, or New Year seafood feasts, now’s the time to go have a look.

Next Thursday, Ben’s back with more Weber wisdom and, thanks to The Butcher’s Block, we’ll have another meat pack up for grabs.

Fire up, breathe easy, and grill like you mean it. Summer’s here. 🌞🔥🍖
