Weber Summit 24-Inch Kamado E6 Charcoal Grill w/ Stand - 18201001

I have only used this WSK 2 times but I am excited about how it works ansd look forward to expanding my skills to meet the possibilities of this kettle. This is number 9 in my family of Webers....SSP Peformer, GlenBlue26, Special Edition red 22, Stars & Stripes 22, 18" Smokey Mountain and 2 Platyus 22s dedicated to pizza...plus our original blue 22 in retirement after 25+ years.... Grate grills!!!

Very easy to build with one person Easy to maintain at a temperature desired

Hard to recommend for the price. They have a known design flaw with their casters. 3 years in and they will not warranty. Disappointing for their flagship charcoal grill. I also have a Kamado Big Joe and although it is more expensive it is night and day difference in quality and comes with more accessories.

Update to my earlier review. Nothing but empty promises, and the most disorganized, useless customer support i have ever experienced! Grill fell over backwards due to very poor stability and design. Lid is dented...enamel chipped. Been trying to get a replacement for several months. Lots of promises from multiple people but exactly zero actual help at all!! Now I get A.I. spam every other day about my 'cases being closed if I dont respond...but there is nothing to respond to. Just horrific customer support. Terrible!

I bought this grill last year. Have always used Weber Kettles and have a Smokey Mountain. Family has Green Eggs and Primo Ceramic grills. I built it into my outdoor kitchen. I've smoked on it and even smoked side by side with my Smokey mountain and this grill can do it all. Huge cooking surface. Great heat retention. Can get it roaring hot for searing. This grill is fantastic. Nice fit and finish. Love the hinge for the top that you can open to different degrees. If you are thinking about getting this grill…do it.

I have been a long-time Weber guy and recently replaced my old 22" kettle and 18.5" smoker with the E6 Kamado. It will be a bit of an adjustment but overall is a huge step up in versatility and quality. Heat control and efficiency are fantastic. My only complaints are a bit minor - the tool hooks built into the Weber logo on front are a bit small, and it would be nice to have more than two small hooks. More importantly, it would be nice to have more accessories; e.g., a quality side table that could hook to the side of the grill.

We needed to replace our classic, smaller webber charcoal grill after 14 years, and this is the perfect upgrade. We can grill larger quantities at once and use various grilling techniques more easily, all while keeping the traditional grill flavor that we love. We have been very happy with the heat retention and evenness of heat distribution.

Missing all three legs. Box was completely sealed. Been waiting weeks for them. Will not be here in time for Memorial weekend which I bought the grill well ahead of time for. It's just a boat anchor for now. Lid was also damaged due to poor packaging. Do better Weber! Disappointing!

I've had my Weber Summit Kamado for two months now, and it's already clear that this is in a completely different league than my Grand Daddy's kettle. Coming from years of gas grilling, I've had to adjust to a new rhythm—learning to respect the additional prep time to warm the grill and refamiliarizing myself with the nuances of charcoal. The build quality is what really blew me away first. From my very first touch of the chunky handle and lifting that massive lid with ease, I could tell how unbelievably sturdy the materials are. The triangular base and locking wheels provide a rock-solid foundation that gives me total confidence in its stability. What has really impressed me is how easy it is to light and heat up, even in the dead of a cold and windy Chicago winter. The grates themselves are solid, and I've noticed the center removable grill is actually better than I expected; despite some reviews I'd read, it's well-positioned and stays exactly where it's supposed to. I haven't used it as a smoker just yet, as I'm focused on honing my basic grilling skills first, but I'm planning to dive into that side of things once the weather finally relaxes into summer. It's a transition from the "turn and click" convenience of gas, but the Summit Kamado makes the whole ritual feel like a premium experience.

The Kamado Double Wall allows a batch of charcoal to last a long time. This is the only way to have an effective Kettle larger than 22-inches. The 26-inch and the Ranch Kettle go cold really fast.
