I would like to see you cook/smoke a whole turkey on the summit

Haven’t seen many detailed reviews on the Kamado. Been owning one for less than 6 months now. Noticed the enamel coating inside the bowl may have a defect that coating is now burning through and bottom is chipping… not sure if you encountered this.

Just rewatched this. I’m leaning toward getting a Summit E6. I got a little sad at the end. “He’s going to be around for a while.” at the 22:15 mark.

Had mine delivered from ACE today – brand new. Got to putting on the hinge, but the hinge had no springs. Thanks Webber – guess I am not making a turkey on my new $2149 grill on Thanksgiving. What a joke.

I have watched both of your videos re: Weber Summit Kamado. I really like the Summit, and maybe one day I'll have one subsequent to what I have learned on your channel. I had narrowed my choice of ceramics down to Big Joe. Your info regarding ceramic vs the Summit made valuable points — one of which I already took into consideration: A Summit isn't going to crack. And, it's much lighter and easier to manage. In your "1 year" video, you mentioned the Weber Smokey Mountain smokers and I gained a bit more judicial insight. I acquired a used WSM 18 as "best all around" of the three, then I scooped a used-one-time WSM 14 for small cooks. I figured that would hold me, since I do my grilling/cooking on my Weber propane grill, which I need to upgrade to a larger one with a sear zone. Your references regarding kettle vs Summit and lots of other info kinda blended in my head, and I realized that I really don't want to "cook" on charcoal. It's nice; it's fun, but gas is much simpler and easier for lots of reasons. So, when I get to the point of smoking full briskets (yes, I know you can drape them to make them fit in an 18"), I'll probably look around and find a lightly used WSM 22 to complete the set. I think in the long run, I'll do better with dedicated purpose-built smokers and a nice, big grill hooked to natural gas. That way, I can stage brisket, butts or ribs, chicken, and sausage across the three smokers for a big chow-down. I believe in purpose-specific tools, so burgers are on the griddle, steaks on the grill and so on. Thanks for all your detailed info and comparative input. It has helped me be honest with myself in determining what I really need in order to do what I want to do — much like my process with cast iron, carbon steel and stainless steel cookware. Certain tools for certain jobs. Thank you for your time, effort and insight. 🙂

I would buy the Weber Summit but I want them to fix your smoke leak, also I hate the kindergarten looking plastic wheels.

I just got my weber performer premium today, over one month after I paid for and ordered it.
I ordered the Performer and a cover at the same time, got the cover in less than a week, bjut nothing from weber about the BBQ.
Long story short, they lost it and if I hadn't contacted them they would have assumed I received it. This went on for over a month.
Weber Australia are terrible for customer service, really has soured my opinion of the brand.

I’ve had mine for almost 2 years and it’s just a great all in one grill. Bought it to replace a pit boss pellet grill. The Weber is just better. Loaded it with charcoal and did an overnight brisket that came out fantastic. Smoked some chicken and sausage the next afternoon while the brisket rested and never had to add additional charcoal (15-18 hour cook). Great smoker for ribs. 3 racks will easily fit. Reverse seared tomahawk ribeyes for New Years…. Perfect! Used the griddle insert for smash burgers, worked great but wish it was a bigger griddle insert. Good for pizzas if you use a pizza stone. Easy to maintain temperature during a smoke. I see people using charcoal chimney’s to start the charcoal but I just use the propane bottle. Super easy and the bottle last a long time. It’s not as efficient on charcoal as a kamodo but it efficient enough to smoke a large brisket or pork butt without adding charcoal. Cleanup is beyond easy. Just remove the bottom charcoal bucket and dump it in the trash.

One of the biggest selling points on the Summit was the deflector shield…and they went and changed it. Crap.
