Summit Kamado Review

I have used my new Weber Kamado grill several times now. I have found the grill maintains a cosistent temperature with minimal effort and if I overshoot on the temperature I have found it very easy to correct. Smoking with the E6 has been great so far. I have smoked a Boston Butt as well as a Brisket and have had great results. The grill uses a minimal amount of charcoal and wood while smoking or grilling which is a plus. I would highly recommend the Weber Kamado to anyone looking for a smoker and grill. I replaced a propane cabinet smoker with the Weber Kamado and I am completely happy with this Grill. I purchased this grill from my local Ace Hardware and received free assembly and delivery which was an added bonus.

I love the size of the grill, the ease of use.

My first cook was some short ribs, had to cook them for about 5 hours, I got the temperature to 275 once there the grill held that temperature for the duration of the cook, the ribs came out great!

Excellent product. Minor quibbles.

This is Weber’s premier charcoal product and it is indeed excellent at what it does. The fit and finish are great, the fuel efficiency beats my already high expectations and while I will still use my regular kettle, Smokey Joe and Searwood for other jobs, this is my favorite and go-to grill.

Dream Charcoal BBQ / Smoker

I've cooked on just about every type of wood/charcoal bbq and this is by far the best. I explored all options extensively before settling on the Weber Summit Charcoal due to its size and quality of materials. It's heat retention, airflow management and ash removal is as good as, if not better, than any other Kamado, but you still get the same ease of use as a traditional kettle. I think the porcelain-enamel steel is highly preferable to a heavy/prone-to-cracking ceramic cooker. As with anything, eventually you can find some minor potential tweaks for improvement, but this really is a leading product and incredibly versatile whether it's for traditional direct sear cooking or low and slow.

Smoke master ultimate grill!

I finally did it, bought the Summit Kamado and can't believe how great this smoker is. Holds the heat, saves on charcoal, easy set and forget smoke temp.

Good purchase

Holds temp long and steady, uses minimal charcoal. Well built and would buy again

Very Happy!

If you used gas and/or pellets before and want to take it to the next level of flavor with charcoal and wood smoking, this is a great choice! There are a few KAMADO style cookers to choose from, I loved this price point and the lighter weight. Was easy to assemble by myself and move around the backyard by myself, holds steady temps, and is quick to get up to temp. I've only had a few cooks on it up to this point, but so far I'm extremely happy with my decision and very grateful to have the best support company backing this with Weber. They are nothing short of amazing and I am truly appreciative.

My favorite

The capacity to keep his heat is amazing and use way less coal to cook and reach the desired temperature. The heat deflector allow to use 100% of the grate as we smoke, this barbecue is a game changer

Kamado/Kettle Grill Hybrid

I cook on this alot. I am very impressed with all you can do with it.

Would buy again!

Love this grill! It cooks beautifully and does a great job maintaining temps.

The Best

Best grill I’ve ever owned. Amazing how it can hold temperature for 10+ hours!

Great Grill, Great Assembly/Delivery by Ace

The grill is exactly as I expected; solid, heavy, and it feels like you can cook anything on it. An Ace employee assembled and delivered it to my house, and they carefully helped me get it around the yard to the steps on the deck. I'd recommend both the grill and Ace assembly/delivery again

Almost perfect

Ive been using the Weber Summit for 1-1/2 years. I’ve very happy with it. It’s so versatile. I use it for smoking, grilling & more. However, I do wish that Weber would correct the top vent to prevent the vent from shifting every time the lid is opened.

Amazing grill. I have only ever used charcoal so I went for the best!! Customer service was great ensuring that everything was perfect.

AVOID HOME DEPOT AT ALL COSTS!!!! SCAM COMPANY!!!

Grill arrived damaged and clearly used just loose in the packaging. After being given the run around from multiple Home Depot reps, I was able to speak to a manager by finding an extension to dial online. They sent UPS to pick up the item for a return and state that you will receive a refund within 2 weeks. It has now been 3 weeks and I still do not have my money back. I called and spoke a representative a week ago and was told "it was in process". I have opened a dispute with the bank. AVOID!!!

E6 first review

A grill that will do everything but with a few minor flaws.

Kamado do it

Went through two chargriller kamados (rusted out), saved up got the Weber made in USA ,totally worth it!

Awesome performance, ok quality

This an amazing performing grill. It heats fast, maintains temperature really well, and truly a do it all smoker and charcoal grill. My only issue with it is the build quality isn’t up to par with what i expected from a Weber product. I had issues with some of the bolt threads on the base when assembling, and overall I feel the quality of materials is lacking compared to my last Weber purchase, a 2009 Genesis

Very versatile grill

This grill is excellent at both low and slow cooking plus high heat sear. Temperature adjustment via top & bottom air ontrols is excellent. The Kamado also retains heat very well. The only major thing that should be improved is the ability to add more lump charcoal mid cook-this part of the system should be much easier than it is.

Swiss Army knife of grills and smokers.

The Weber Summit Kamado does it all.
