I’ve had the grill for almost six weeks now. I’m blown away by the heat retention. It holds it almost too well. I say that because if you plan on putting the cover on it you might be up late waiting for it to cool off. It cooks everything leaps and bounds better than my other two grills (Master Touch and Spirit E310). Smoking anything becomes so simple it’s like you’re cheating. After smoking a pork shoulder I cut the...

The only thing I would change is adding some way to raise and lower the coals after theyve been lit so you can switch from lower to higher heat safely.

Excellent charcoal grill !! The food taste better with charcoal grill ..the best

EXCELLENT COOKER_x000D_
However I don't like using the Stainless Steel Defuser Plate because the meat doesn't create the bark I'm use to seeing and tasting when I cook the Indirect Method._x000D_
Also you need to do a SAFETY MODIFICATION on the Propane Gas KNOB. It doesn't have the WRITTEN text "ON" or "OFF" on the knob as shown in the assembly instructions. I was not familiar with the so called "ICONS" on the knob. Never having a COOKER with a propane fuel ignit...

I did a lot of research before purchasing this grill. I compared it to Kamado Joe, Big Green Egg and various other Kamado style cookers. My biggest hesitation was the cost and not being able to see the grill before purchasing (at the time no one in my area carried one in stock). I was able to finally put hands on one and purchased it immediately. Various reviews on YouTube do not do it justice. The grill is fantastic! Mine did not have the charcoal bag that was suppose to be included (l...

Discontinue the charcoal bag and provide a grill cover instead. Also, provide a grill grate lifter for the center sear grate. Redo the pullout drawer slide out mechanism—always binding. Also, the optional Pizza Stone product features last line indicates to “easily cleaned with soap and water” but your Specigications indicates “…rinse with water, no soap”. Conflicting info&sbquo...

Excellent Product, i would recommend, cooks consistent every time.

Sturdy construction all around. Holds heat exceptionally well. Propane charcoal starter is great. Vent system allows perfect temp control. Grate is very well designed. Highly recommend!

I love the Summit it works beautifully!_x000D_
But, the design of the flip flopping center grate is DANGEROUS, damaging and scary in that when working with the top grate it will fly out! Damaging anything it hits!_x000D_
My stainless steel top is dinged up, my block patio has broken cracks and the black porcelain is scratched from where ever it flips to!_x000D_
Webber, is fully aware of this potentially libel situation and has not yet addressed it the safety of the flip flopping center grate!

I had a similar weber self igniting Charcoal grill for 20 years and this summit Kamado replacement is awesome. It's very easy to use and I've been amazed. We've tried pizza, burgers, fish, steak and everything else with the temperature controls that work makes grilling all the more satisfying. Thanks for the awesome product and services!!!!
