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

Forget everything you thought you knew about charcoal grilling - this thing redefines the experience. The build quality is simply outstanding; you can feel the heft and durability in every component. This isn't just a grill; it's an investment that's built to last. But the real magic happens when you start cooking. The dual-wall insulated steel body and Rapidfire lid damper system make temperature control an absolute breeze. I've effortlessly maintained low and slow temperatures for hours, producing the most succulent and smoky brisket l've ever made. And when it's time to sear, the E6 ramps up the heat incredibly quickly, giving steaks that perfect crust and juicy interior. The versatility of this grill is also a huge win. From smoking ribs and pork shoulder to baking pizzas and grilling vegetables, it handles everything with finesse. The wide diameter cooking surface provides ample space, even for large gatherings. Plus, thoughtful features like the integrated thermometer, hinged lid, and easy-to-clean One-Touch cleaning system make the entire process enjoyable and hassle-free. Honestly, the Weber Summit Kamado E6 has elevated my outdoor cooking to a whole new level. It's a joy to use, consistently delivers exceptional results, and is built with the legendary Weber quality I've come to trust. If you're serious about charcoal grilling and are looking for the ultimate kamado experience, look no further. This grill is worth every penny!

It's a good looking Weber but it's not as good as a kettle for standard grilling. The top grate is further above the charcoal than a kettle. At least it looks like a Weber.

Got this at the end of October 2024 and wasn't able to get it together until toward the end of November. First thing I made was a Texas style turkey breast and it was gone before I had a chance to enjoy a 2nd piece! Even the kids that didn't like turkey had extra! Next try was ribs and couldn't quite keep the temps low enough but the ribs turned out ok, good but just not right. A little dive in the google machine and some video watching got me some better temperature control and some much better ribs! The only thing that is keeping this from a 5 star is one of the castors broke and I've only had this thing for a little over 5 months sitting on my deck. That and it took a little " finessing" to get some of the parts to line up, it was definitely a two-man job.

Great grill, but leaks smoke around the back of the lid.

Awesome grill/smoker. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the leg assembly. The screw holes never align right. Could definitely be better designed. The grill itself hold heat for a very long time and could get up in very high temp.

Best Charcoal Grill every owned and reason being it hold heat very well and the options for even smoking low and slow and its a real sturdy grill that will last for years.

Love the Summit, used many times for smoking brisket, plus beef spare ribs and pork baby back ribs, even turkey breasts. Excellent heat retention and constant temps make long cooks a breeze. Have used one batch of lump charcoal for up to 12 hours of smoking time. Clean-up of ash is very easy, and the grill can be used for high temps as well. I have done great pizzas on the accessory stone insert. The unit is well built and solid, looks like it will last a long time.

We've only had the E6 about a month and have only completed a few cooking sessions getting to know the unit. In general, it runs much hotter than a standard Weber kettle. We are still learning how to control the temperature. We typically like to run 4-5 hour smoking sessions and hope to use the E6, without the need to reload coals. We'll keep you posted on our progress in learning about charcoal consumption. The unit was shipped to us directly from Weber. Assembly took about 2-3 hours. The assembly instructions were good. One leg had a threaded bushing that appeared to be the wrong size. Fortunately we had a stock of fasteners that we drew from to find a screw that worked with this one bushing. Everything else about the assembly was very straight forward. The packaging the unit was shipped in was virtually all easily recyclable with the exception of a few plastic bags and pieces of plastic. Kudos to Weber.

Have used it 1/2 dozen times now, just now starting to understand how to control the temp. Thing gets hot for sure, very hot, the low and slow is different than I am use to but achievable once you figure it out. Doesn't use much charcoal, very stable to roll around, coming from kettles thats appreciated. Everything we have smoked or grilled has been great so far, honestly no complaints.

I bought this because I prefer Kamado smoking and grilling over my Pellet or offset. I needed to be able to cook larger cooks, like two turkey's. My 18 inch just can't do that. I have done the turkey, ribs, and 1.5 inch cut pork steaks. I am still getting used to the vent setings but was adle to hold temp easily. Accept when opening the lid the vent moves under its own weight, please increase its resistance if Weber is reading this. Last thing I am used to more head space between the charcoal and heat deflector, I think I would have to add more charcoal for a long cook like pork butt or brisket. I love the size and it is well built.
