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

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.

The Weber Summit Kamado does it all. First let me address the build quality. This cooker is put together very well. The porcelain coating will last many years. The grill grates are built tough to withstand high heat cooks, the clean out system makes this grill so easy to clean and set back up for cooking. My back sure appreciates this. Low and slow or hot and fast! The E6 can do it all. The E6 snuffs out the fuel very nicely when the cook is over. Fuel efficiency is there! No added accessories are needed to accomplish great food. Webers warranty is second to none.

Love this smoker/grill, I've grilled steaks and smoked pork butts so far. Works great!! Only issue I had was the lid was damaged right out of the box. Contacted customer service and they promptly sent a new lid without any hassle!! Five star on the customer service as well!

This grill is awesome for all things you used to cook on the weber kettle and then some. The then some is, it makes terrific brisket! Something about the close location the brisket sits to that steel lid helps develop the bark and render down the fat to that wiggle jiggle stage. She can run too hot if lit unnecessarily incorrectly. Just charcoal + starter and let it come to temp slowly, she will do the rest. Great product, great quality, very happy.

Love it! This grill can do it all and could replace several grills / smokers. This is super insulated and can maintain temp for a very long time, easily overnight and even all day long. If you want to go low and slow, this is your grill. If you want hot and fast, this is your grill. If you want hibachi style, this is your grill. If you want just regular standard charcoal grill for burgers and hotdogs, this can do it too. Plus there is so much room on here, no need to run 2 kettles anymore for a party. Easily fit a brisket or even several pork butts, a 2 dozen burgers, no problem.

Chose the Weber over other ceramic kamados due to manageable weight to move around. Like the ease of the ash collection feature and quality of Weber kettle grills. Easy to adjust temperature especially lowering temp vs ceramic grills. Slow smoked 6lb pork butt and did not run out of fuel.

Ash bin allows too much ash to escape. The design does not scale well in this regard from the standard kettle. The blades that sweep the ash is the same design as the standard kettle, which get lump coal debris under causing them to bend, thus negating ability to sweep.

The grill is awesome. It's very versatile and can do most any style of cook you want. But...going on my 3rd year of ownership, I'm gonna take Weber to task on the design and poor materials used on the PLASTIC caster insert for the front wheel. I'm going through one a year (2 so far). The plastic inevitably is always going to fail. You have a heavy grill like this, and go with a plastic insert to support the weight of this this beast rolling around all the time? I have a brand new, perfectly flat concrete patio that this grill stays on. This plastic damper is the weak leak in the chain of this design. Please redesign this part and use better materials! Customer service is great as usual, but they kinda gave me a hard time replacing my 2nd one as it was out of its 2-year warranty. I know this is going to happen again. The customer should not have to keep paying to replace a part this is part of a bad design. For what it's worth, the locking wheel caster design itself is awesome. I didn't need the whole wheel though...just the caster. Average rating just based on bad design. Otherwise a 5 rating for the rest of the grill.
