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

I've had this grill for about 6 months. I've grilled and smoked dozens of times on it. I have since sold my smoker. I couldn't be more pleased with how efficient charcoal usage is. The auto charcoal lighter is a nice touch as well! If your on the fence, buy one.!!

The WSC is a very versatile grill, from low temp smoking to very high heat bakes and everything in between. love it. From salmon, wings to packer cut brisket and pizza, it can do the job.

Cons: Thermometer fogged up excessively on a cool day, the larger wheels feel cheap, and the storage basket under the table sticks. Pros: I am very satisfied overall. Most convenient grill I've ever owned. Easy startup, excellent temperature control, and excellent storage options from grates, charcoal, and tools.

Holds consistant temperature for hours. Minimum attention for long cooks. Summit Charcoal Grill delivers consistant and predictable results. Could not be happier with this purchase... thanks Weber!

The grill offers outstanding performance, but required modifications to get there. Having to modify the grill to get the expected level of performance at the price is the only reason I did not give five stars. The primary flaw is that the contour of the inner bowl does not match the contour of the ash sweeper vanes, which allows uncontrolled air into the system, making tight control at minimum smoking temps extremely difficult. Weber sent me new ash sweepers, for which I am grateful, but they were identical to the ones installed at the factory. Since I had spares, I used a bench grinder to re-profile a set for proper fitment, and now the grill works superbly. I can hold 225F with almost no effort, with nearly any fuel, and I've managed 22 consecutive hours at that temperature. That alone makes the price of entry bearable, because my old rig needed to be refueled every 4-6 hours. With a second lower grate, I am able to beautifully reverse-sear steaks without any fancy attachments. The grill will also get to temperatures over 500F and even 600F (even at over 6,600 ft altitude), making pizza baking a breeze with nothing more than a pizza stone and a Weber 5" stand. The side port allows simple, no-drill attachment of a pit control fan, which is only necessary for overnight/unattended cooks. The large table is very nice and sturdy. The built-in starter is so convenient (I didn't think I would use it, but I now only use my chimneys to light large quantities of charcoal). The size is also a great advantage. I no longer have to give any consideration to whether a large piece of meat will fit under the lid. Overall, it is a terrific machine that beautifully combines low-temp efficiency and stability for smoking, and high-heat performance for baking and grilling.

Have been using grill for for 1 month and have not found anything this grill can't do well. Temperature control and range are exceptional. Brisket for 15+ hours without adding coals. Wok cooking at high temperature in minutes. Ash cleaning with the flick of a lever. Summit uses less charcoal. Just close vents and unused charcoal is extinguished and ready for another cook. Very attractive and well built.

I have 5 grills and smokers and this is the best. Well insulated and you can cook everything. Nice look. Junior V.

Bought this as replacement for my husband. He loves it.

I have been a Weber charcoal guy for years. I used the same Weber Performer for over 20 years. It was such a great grill that I have been so hesitant to get another for fear I would just be disappointed. With that said, I finally pulled the trigger on a Summit, and I could not be happier with my purchase. It's everything you want in a grill.

I bought this grill about six weeks ago after procrastinating for a year. I've had a 22 inch Weber Performer grill since the early 90's, and it's still perfect. I wanted something that was an actual smoker, but This grill does everything perfectly. I did a 11 hour brisket smoke on my first try with it. This Summit held temperatures perfectly, controlling temperatures was easier than I thought possible, and even after 11 hours there was still charcoal left unburned after I shut it down... Amazing!
