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.

Weber is the best available!!

This is my second grilling center. My previous generation unit is still in use by my daughter. The new Summit is really well built and insulated so it is easy to maintain consistent cooking temperature and the deck is helpful while grilling. Highly recommended!!!!

Pro and Cins

Great for grilling and smoking. Easy clean up. Super efficient. Easy to start smoking low and slow. The lighting system is not perfect. Takes more time to get the grill ready for grilling. It's hard to change from smoking low and slow to high heat grilling

My Summit Grilling Center

It's an amazing cooking instrument. But like any fine piece of equipment, the more I use it the better I get.

Outstanding Grill - It is a Beast

I am now the proud owner of 5 Weber charcoal grills including the Weber Performer Charcoal Grill with the propane gas ignition. The Weber Performer has been my go-to grill for 20 years. It still looks new and works great. This Summit Charcoal grill is much larger in all respects compared to the Performer. I need to see how the Summit performs in 20 years. Will it be able to outperform the Performer 20 years from now? The Performer cooks just like my original Weber Kettle grills. The Summit takes a little getting used to. This is not a bad thing, just that the setup and the way it cooks is a little different from the traditional Weber charcoal grill. The Summit seems to use a lot less charcoal. I am amazed at how quick the charcoal starts when it is 20 degrees outside here in Michigan. (Yes, I use my Weber grills year-round.) Love the countertop type space on the grilling center. Thank you, Weber, for making the space out of stainless steel, just like the old Performer. For those of us that use your grills for 20+ years that stainless steel makes a huge difference. As far as cooking goes, as I said it is a little different from the Kettles. I am finding I am cooking my steaks more than I would like. I am having to shorten the amount of time my steaks are on the Summit. Again, not a bad thing, just different. My shrimp cooked very fast. I have noticed a bigger issue with flair ups on the Summit. I have had this grill less than a month, so I still need to test it with pork butt, chili, prime rib, pork ribs, etc.. In other words, using it as a smoker. Assembly was very easy. I completed the assembly myself, no help needed. I will admit at times a little help from another individual would have been nice. Being in Michigan I assembled most of the grill indoors. Keep in mind the grill is too wide to fit through most home doors so you will need to attach the lid and hinge outside The only downside is the charcoal bin. The bin feels like an afterthought and is not very helpful. I have taken the bin out. I have learned I need a separate storage area next to my grills to store my different types of charcoal and the different types of wood I use for smoking.

Awesomeness!

This is THE best charcoal grill on the planet! I have done low-n-slow pork shoulders and beef briskets. I roasted a turkey and have cooked hamburgers. All in the one month that I have had it. It is very well built and it's as easy to control the heat in this grill as it is to control an oven. Many people say they don't use the propane light feature but I find it handy. This really is a "one" grill does it all piece of equipment. Not only will it do it all - it does it all extremely well. It is completely unaffected by the outside weather; rain, snow, wind the Summit doesn't care; it reacts the same no matter what the condition. Don't agonize over the price; just buy it. You won't regret it.

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.
