Got my Summit Charcoal for Christmas, built it last weekend finally and seasoned it.. The tiniest amount of charcoal kept it steady at 400 degrees for over 3 hours in a snowstorm. I'm happy with that.

Best kettle Weber makes. Had it over a year and never begrudged the price. I highly recommend it!

[MrBingping]

They could take out the gas light ignition and drop the price a fair bit. Lighting coals with a chimney really isn't that much of a hassle. People who care about that level of convenience probably aren't the ones who are going to cook on charcoal anyway.

A kamado with a side table can cost well above $2, 000. I agree though, they could dominate the market if this were just $400-$500 less.

I seen many complaints about the price of the grill. I bought one anyway, it is worth the price and after owning it I feel it's priced competitively.

I sold my house to buy this grill. The Bank turned me down a few times, but after I got my raise at work, it was more affordable. I got a 30 year 2% Fixed Rate loan. True Story Dude..

Man, that's beautiful looking BBQ. Although, my partner would kill me for spend over $2000 on a BBQ. I'll check back in a few year, when the price is lower.

This grill, the Summit, will be considered a flagship charcoal grill along side the Weber Ranch kettle.

However, if I was the designer, I would have designed a 30 inch diameter cooking grate for Summit Charcoal Grill, instead of 24 inches. 7.5 inches smaller than the Ranch (37.5 inch), but 4 inches larger than the Premium Charcoal Grill (26 inch).

$1499 or $1999 price tag demands this consideration.

If you love to grill or BBQ, coughing up $1500 or $2000 big ones for a 24 inch diameter grill makes no sense when one can pay a fraction of this cost on the 26 inch Premium Charcoal Grill. And still do the same kind of cooking, BBQing & grilling & smoking.

You should mention that the grill comes from the factory with a port built in to use with a guru or similar device....you just have to take the plug out and put in the adapter.

[stevehammonds]

I want one of these but 2k that's crazy.

[ajitnambiar]

I was told this is discontinued [SKU 8030458] which has been replaced by the E6 without the propane igniter. Do you recommend getting the earlier version on the E6 or S6?

I’m looking at selling my pellet grill and going back to charcoal. Pellets are nice. Wi-Fi is amazing but the taste is not. This Weber is a little pricey for what you get and there never seems to be a bad review. I guess if they give them to you you’re not going to bash them. My question is what is the best Komodo? Is this it?

[justinlloyd]

For this price point one could purchase the Blaze Kamado.

People complaining about the price but it looks well built.

[mambru]

Is it that much better than the joe for the money, which one would you recommend out of the two? Love the videos keep them coming

[danwhite]

So how much in weight of coal did you use for the brisket

[aaronlunzmann]

Hey Weber!!! Look! Another comment section loaded with dudes who would buy this thing for 500$ less. Too damned expensive.

[millenialbroadcast]

Like the music and the content.

But I would have loved to also learned about the price of the grill.

[crBudgetWatches]

If I could afford a loaded MacBook pro, Tesla and Starbucks everyday, I would buy this.

[jasonburns]

You forgot to mention how affordable it is!
