Weber Summit 24-Inch Charcoal Grill Center - Black - 18501001

Bought this as a retirement gift for my boyfriend after a very extensive research. This grill exceeded all of our expectations. It maintains low temperature for smoking large cuts of meat and it gets very hot for restaurant quality pizza. Although it's pricey, it is well worth the money.

Awesome grill had it for 2 months and got it as a gift from my wife. It is so awesome that someone broke into my backyard and stole it. Now I can't afford another one .

Wow the Weber Summit Charcoal Grill center doesn't disappoint and any level! Truly loving this grill more and more each time I use it!

Beyond pleased with my WSC grilling center. Still amazed at how once I've locked in a temperature, the WSC will hold that temp hour after hour after hour. Great for low and slow, and amazing for high heat/searing. Now if Weber would just come out with a rotisserie attachment.....

Had it for about a month now. Have cooked ribs, Pork Butt, Thanksgiving Turkey, steaks, chicken, pork chops, duck breast in cast iron, and does it all. I went from low and slow ribs to super hot for wings in an instant. Very easy to use and control. Two minor gripes. I wish the Rapid Fire damper would stay open. When I open the grill lid it slaps shut. Second gripe is that the propane lighter does not light the charcoal when the fire grate is in the high position.

Bought this for the versatility of a grill and ability to cook low and slow, not disappointed, this grill does both well.

This grill exceeded all expectations. We have had it just over a month and we have used it most every night. You should purchase all the different accessories to get the full bang. The Pizza Stone is a must and the the Cast Iron Grill is worth the investment.

I have been a Big Green Egg guy for years, but recently sold my XL to purchase this Weber. I have to say it was the best move I have ever made. No more worrying about ceramic parts breaking, gasket issues, and a terrible hinge design that causes the dome not to seal properly. I have also moved a couple of times while owning my egg and must say it was a pain to move. The Weber is much more light weight. The propane ignition system is so much easier to use compared to the fire starters, eggniters, etc. that are available for the egg. The food quality on the Weber is also just as good if not better than what I was getting with an egg. I also find I get a much better smoke flavor on this Weber compared to my egg. The Weber also starts very quickly and seems to get up to temperature much quicker than my egg. When I first purchased this grill I was afraid it would be hard to control temperatures (especially on low and slow cooks) relative to an egg. However, I have found that this grill holds temperature very well for both grilling and smoking with minimal vent adjustments. The grill also seems to cool much faster than my XL and I am finding that my charcoal expenses have dropped significantly since purchasing this grill. If you are on the fence between a ceramic and this Weber, I would highly recommend the Weber. The cost of the Weber is a little bit higher but I promise you the ease of use, transport, temperature control, and food quality will make up for the price difference.

I purchased the Weber Summit Charcoal Grilling Center about 3 weeks ago. I am amazed at how much thought went into this grill. You can do low and slow with the charcoal grate in the lower position with the diffuser plate in position or hot and fast with the charcoal grate in the upper position. Everything I have grilled or smoked on the grill has turned out excellent. The two fixed position wheels would work better for me if they turned and the charcoal starter will probably never get used (I like the Weber charcoal chimney) but other than that, no complaints and many Kudos to the Weber team!

I bought it about 4 weeks ago. The grilling versatility is out of this world. Between the the smoking, indirect, and direct options it's awesome. I smoked a brisket last week, held it's temperature with ease and clean up was a snap. The grill space is awesome. I always ran into issue with my old performer when grilling multiple items, no issues with this beast. My one minor issue with grill is the quick starter. I have found on windy days, particularly when using the charcoal baskets, the charcoal often won't ignite. I have had to resort to using the lighter cubes to get my fire going. A little annoying but a minor issue, until I unknowingly run out of the cubes.
