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

I am happy that I purchased this grill. I found that it is a a heavy grill that holds a temperature for hours with minimal charcoal use.

I have grilled and smoked on this grill and it has out performed anything else I've used. The must important feature to me is heat control. The insulated body does a great job of heat retention. It is sturdy but easy to move around. There also no fear of the product cracking or breaking. Good job Weber.

Weber designs and manufactures a grill built to last. Solid stanless steel surfaces, easily cleanable, rust proof, capable of handling even winter weather. Everything was thought of with a long life in mind right up to the built in thermometer. If you want a grill that can do it all, look good, and last fo ryears, this is it.

Bought this and put it together/easy. Smoked some Butts, Racks of Ribs, and a Brisket so far. Works super great. Love the GBS and diffuser plate. Would have given a 5 star rating but the fit & finish of the door that accesses the propane tank was a bit crooked on both the horizontal and vertical plane. I have to see if that can be adjusted. Otherwise I love it. Temperature is easy to control & easy clean-up. At $2,000+, I think it's overpriced. Should be in the $1K to 1.3K range. For the higher price, accessories should come with the Summit Charcoal Grilling Center. The Charcoal bin is a little cheesy and has cheap feel. The lid does not provide a good seal and the bowl, used as a scoop, should actually be a scoop versus a bowl. It's kind of flimsy. Should include a tool for lifting the diffuser plate when hot or for lifting the hinged sides when hot to add fuel or wood chunks/chips.

This is by far the most amazing grill I have had the opportunity of using. Weber has definitely hit the mark with this one.

Being a outdoor cooking enthusiast I have tried nearly every type of grill and smoker on the market including pellet, gas, and charcoal varieties. The Weber - Summit Charcoal is the first unit I have owned that is fully capable of using hot & fast and low & slow.cooking styles equal to the best of breed grills and smokers in each class. The insulation and adjustable fuel shelf are key attributes that enable precise adjustments for smoking and grilling styles. This is by far the best grill I have owned.

I acquired my new Summit Charcoal unit about a month ago. I could not be more impressed with the quality and flexibility of this equipment. I have used it in both hot & fast and low & slow configurations and the results have been excellent on both ends of the spectrum. It holds steady temps with very little manipulation.

I got this as a. Birthday gift, couldn't be happier! It lights very easily and holds temp during smoking or cooking extremely well, very little fluctuation. Lots of room and the table, ignitor and charcoal holder is a great added feature.

Great size and easy to operate all the componets.

I've been quite impressed so far from grilling beef tenderloins to smoking brisket and baby backs. Having previously owned 2 WSM (small and large) and a performer, this grill combines all of those great features into one. The best thing other than precise temperature control and outstanding results, is the ease of cleanup. I didn't have that convenience with the WSMs. The only modifications I would recommend is putting adhesive pads under the Charcoal container so it prevents surface scratching when moving to and from its storage location. Also, I believe there is a better engineering solution to make the ash catcher container easier to remove when it needs to be emptied.
