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

Expensive, but totally worth every penny. It does everything as advertised.

I have owned several grills over the years. I've had a lot of grills that I thought I loved including some other Webers. This one tops the list. Since purchasing this grill the cover hasn't even came off my others. I do wish it had more space for smoking and I'm going to be purchasing the raised rack very soon. I can't say enough good things about this grill.

This Kettle-Mado is everything I love about my kettle and ceramic grill all in one! Inside allows for unlimited creative cooking set ups with plenty of space & efficiency.

This is a great grill! Put it on your list of consideration. I'm shocked this hasn't been better received in the marketplace. Maybe Weber should market this more as a kamado or even rename it (like Weber Summit Kamado) to find itself in more comparisons and articles. Also, the website pics of this do not do it enough justice -- it just looks like another kettle, which is not even close. I never even considered this grill until I accidentally found it at a local hardware store and saw it in person. Being a longtime Weber fan, once I saw it I started getting obsessed and had to end up getting it. Maybe add some pics with a regular kettle next to it for reference. I've been able to do everything on this grill... smoke low and slow, sear high and then indirect, cook pizzas, bake, you name it. I've read it may not smoke as well as my WSM due to it's superior efficiency, but I haven't found that to be true at all. This smokes great and due to the larger size, I'm better able to spread wood chunks around in different spots that light throughout the smoke using minion. You will end up saving money on fuel when using this grill. It's just that much more efficient. I now buy the big, expensive lump and end up saving money overall. I love how there is design attention in all the details. The storage and utilization of it all is fantastic. You can really tell they thought this thing through. I can store hot items below the grill, prep and deal with food on the stainless table, use the side grate hooks when firing up, and have everything ready to go within arm's reach with the tools. I put my temp controller in the slide out basket to keep it shaded. If I have one nit-pick, it's the gas start tube. It lets in more air/oxygen than I prefer when not in use. I'm actually considering closing it off and losing that functionality - which would be a shame since I do like using it. Well, also the cheap, cost-cutting plastic wheels do seem really out of place on such an otherwise amazing, premium backyard appliance. Those wheels don't scream premium. Overall, I'd buy this thing again in a heartbeat. Weber has done a really nice job and if you are in the market for a kamado, do yourself a favor and check this thing out.

Love my new Grilling Center. Great design, so versatile. One minor issue, the removable center grate has one bar that has disconnected from the circle. Hasn't caused any problems but this happened day 1 of use. Also I love the GBS inserts, I own 3 and want to purchase more. So excited. Great so far.

This grill has exceeded my expectations. When I first saw the teaser pictures and advertisements I was at the edge of my seat with anticipation of what was to come. I had to have it and I can say that I'm glad I purchased it. I have cooked almost everything on this Grill. Breakfast tacos to Texas BBQ Brisket. It's flexibility and the ease to go from smoking at 225 to searing a steak at over 600 is what sets it apart.

I have used this nearly once a week since delivery, and every single time I have loved it. I have not smoked on it yet, but for grilling, it has been fantastic every time. Incredibly easy to start the charcoal. I had to adjust my normal grilling behavior, as my old grill was an adjustable level, but the direct-to-indirect cooking is as easy as could be.

I have had this grill almost 4 years, I've replaced the regulator 3 times, the last time I had to argue with a customer rep for an half an hour to get one because it was out of warranty even though the regulator was not a year old. The 4th regulator is now bad again, and of course they will not replace it, because of the age of the grill not the regulator. Don't waste your money on the grill with the gas starter.

I'am unhappy because I have not got my grill been ordered on may 29 2020 deliver time 7 to 10 days but been 3 months

Grill is amazing. I grill several times a week during the spring, summer and fall. I will grill less in the winter but But I'm never discouraged by temperatures, wether it's 15 below zero and over 100. I built a gazebo around it. In the winter I hang heavy black curtains around it and it keeps me warm. Wish I could share some photos.
