Key Features

Snap-Jet gas ignition system lights the charcoal with ease
  • Two position charcoal grate can be raised for improved searing or lowered for smoking
  • Air insulated design allows grill to respond to temperature adjustments quickly
  • Stainless steel hinged diffuser plate for indirect low temperature cooking
  • Includes a convenient work table with tool hooks and a charcoal storage bin
Taking the classic design of the Weber kettle grill and making it bigger and bolder in every way, the Weber Grilling Center is designed to make backyard grilling and smoking more easy and convenient. Made of premium-grade U. S. Steel coated with porcelain enamel inside and out, the Summit Charcoal grill features a double walled bowl and lid. Air is trapped between the double walls and acts as an insulator, retaining heat and keeping the temperature consistent for up to 12 hours on a single load of charcoal. In addition, the air insulated design allows the grill to respond to temperature adjustments much faster than grills made from ceramic. The 24-inch stainless steel cooking grate offers 452 square inches of cooking space, so you can cook for the whole family easily. The Summit Charcoal grill also features the Gourmet BBQ System hinged cooking grate with a 12-inch insert that can be replaced with other components (sold separately) such as a wok or pizza stone, allowing you to cook a wider variety of food on the grill. The Snap-Jet gas ignition system runs off a 16 ounce propane cylinder so you can start the fire with a gas flame and be ready to cook in 15 minutes. With the two position charcoal grate, you can set the grate low for smoking or high for high searing heat. For more improved cooking at low temperature, place the stainless steel hinged heat diffuser plate just above the coals. The plate deflects heat away from food, keeping the consistently low. The plate is also hinged so you can add more charcoal or wood if needed. The Summit Charcoal is designed to take the guesswork out of perfecting the airflow during cooking. Three bottom vent positions make it easy to dial in the right amount of air. Use the smoke setting to minimize the airflow, or open up the vent wide for searing with high heat. The RapidFire lid damper features a hinged design, so you can open it up for maximum airflow or adjust it side to side to dial in more precise temperatures. Although the lid is not as heavy as a ceramic kamado, the Summit Charcoal includes a heavy-duty, easy open lid hinge makes opening the lid nearly effortless. The lid also features a braided stainless steel gasket which seals the lid and the bowl, holding heat inside like a vacuum. The One-Touch cleaning system makes clean-up hassle free. As you rotate the handle, three blades in the bowl move ash through the vents and down into the removable, high-capacity aluminum ash catcher below, which is enclosed to prevent ashes from blowing away and creating a mess. The Summit Charcoal Grilling Center is equipped with a large, durable stainless steel table which provides ample space for food prep and serving. It also includes a removable Char-Bin storage container that holds up to 22 pounds of charcoal with a tight closing lid to keep moisture out. The heavy-duty steel cart features a bottom wire rack for extra storage space for grilling tools and accessories.

Why you should buy a second charcoal grate

The Summit is great for grilling, roasting and smoking. I had difficulty adjusting the temp after using a 22" Weber Kettle Grill for over 40 years. Should come with two charcoal grates so you can always start the charcoal on the lower grate which is close to the propane flame

Weber summit charcoal grill center

This is a very versatile grill, and I particularly like the well thought out grill center/cart. Everything you need is all right there. Even the Weber cover is a breeze to remove and put on and secure. I appreciate this grill as it's easy to light, easy to clean out the ash, and easy to move around. I also really like the grill grates design features and the ability to add bbq gourmet accessories. I've even been cooking breakfasts for the first time. Temp control is simple! I've owned a number of grills in my lifetime and this is my favorite!! It looks great too! Would highly recommend this grill for charcoal grill fans!!

Excellent grill. Needs a one-piece grate option

I've had the Summit Charcoal for a year and a half and cook very regularly. It's an excellent grill and holds the heat very well. My only suggestion is that Weber offer a one-piece cooking surface. I regularly grill fish for a crown and the removable center tends to cause food to stick at the seams. I would love an option that has no removable center. Thanks Weber

Should have purchased...

Should have purchased this grill sooner. It is a joy to cook on. I am thinking about purchasing a second one if I can find the original version.

Amazing grill

This grill is amazing. I smoked a brisket, 12 hour cook and still had half the coals left over. It held a temperature of 250° the entire time. Also I like the fact that the coals are a little closer to the cooking grate for direct cooking. This is a life time grill.

Great Grilling System

This was a surprise BD gift from family. Really enjoy this grill, there is ample storage, and a convenient work space. I appreciate the charcoal bin being right there--with an included scoop, so no more charcoal hands. The versatility of this grill is also impressive. So far we've done steaks/burgers, and I even made a pizza on a stone. Who wants to heat up their indoor oven to 700°? Using the Weber Gourmet BBQ system gives lots of convenient options also. Note--I keep the stainless steel spray cleaner nearby to wipe down the work space frequently and thus far have been able to maintain it in good condition.

Question:
Is the grate actually stainless steel or is it that chrome plated stuff that Weber uses on other kettles?Was This Helpful?
Answers:

Neil; The grate on the Summit Charcoal Grill is not plated. It doesn't rust, flake off, cleans easily and is of good quality. I have owned my grill for 3 years and couldn't be happier with everything about this grill. I do, however, keep it stored inside my shop at all times, under the form fitting Weber cover. It looks nearly new, and I do use it frequently. The only problem I have had is the propane charcoal ignition system. Once I learned to clean it properly, especially the "jet" orifice, it has operated flawlessly. i know this is more than you asked for, but I felt it is good information to have about the grill. John

Asked by Neil | Answered by johnmengle

It is stainless steel. The center pulls out and the sides fold up to add more charcoal. I love this bbq. I almost bought it without the attached stainless steel table. I am glad I have that table and has proven to be very useful. Derek

Asked by Neil | Answered by capt.dereklee

I would say yes...Its heavier gage than the 22 inch classic.Cleans up very easy. Just heat up the grill 500+ and brush her clean.Very expensive grill Neil....but this baby delivers. I couldn't be happier.Did Two 19 lb briskets at the same time for a 13 hour cook 2 weeks ago...nailed it.You won't be disappointed...I prefer charcoal.

Asked by Neil | Answered by brett.chiefs

Yes, the Weber Summit Charcoal Grilling Center has a stainless steel cooking grate. Some of the other Weber grills state in the specifications "coated steel", but the Summit has stainless steel.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
