Undeniably the best charcoal grill offered by Weber. Quality of construction is excellent, and smoker and grill functionality make this grill capable of anything. Versatile and easy to use. Love the size and the effectiveness cooking with this grill.

I like it because of ease of use. Previous editions had issues which are resolved with the Summit Kamado S6 Charcoal grill.

This is the second Summit Kamado S6 Charcoal Grill Center we have purchased. That says it all! We like the added feature of smoking with the new model but we miss the charcoal bin and solid metal bottom shelf of the old model. Overall for someone who enjoys true BBQ charcoal flavor, this grill is exceptional.

More than I expected! After upgrading from a Smokey Mountain unit I can image reverting make and that was a great unit too.

Great grill, best in class. Holds temps well, smooth operating

grill grate states its stainless, my magnet sticks to all of the grates including the grill grate, also the 2 shelfs under the cart witch have no paint or coating on them. am i missing something?

Overall solid grill, although wheels and drawer are flimsy for this level of equipment. Venting and ash system are excellent for temperature control. Finish on main grill suggests it will last a long time like other Weber products

I’ve owned more Weber products than I can remember. Gas, Charcoal, Smokers. Honestly all of them are well designed, durable and turn out excellent food that will impress neighbors and family.

But this Summit is absolutely the very best cream of the crop unit that the folks at Weber have made. You can do anhing on this machine that you can do on an egg, kettle or Smokey Mountain. Excellent design much more durable than a ceramic egg and much more pleasing to the eye. A masterpiece

I had a top of the line T-brand 2023 Pellet Grill and returned it to purchase this Kamado from Weber. No electricity, noise and dependance on WiFi is just the initial components of reasoning for the decision. Beyond that. It is just a superior for grilling and smoking. Weber did their homework and developed a grill using their metal fabrication and design skills to create an awesome charcoal, wood, grilling, smoking, and searing capability that competes with other top of the line Kamado grills. And,,, it is light enough that it can be moved easily when grilling, something not possible with traditional ceramic Kamado’s. The table and underneath storage along with the gas ignition capability put it over the top. I have a Summit 670 gas grill that I have used for well over 10 years, and this grill has now taken in place by it’s side.

You will not be disappointed if you purchase this product, it is an impressive cooking device that can be used in numerous configurations to accomplish any cooking method or style, and in true Weber style will last an eternity.

Best grill I've ever owned!! Superior temp control.

Grill itself is great. Large cooking area. Easy access to fire. Rest of cart is mostly useless.

I upgraded from a trusty old Performer to the Summit Kamado S6. The S6 was easy to assemble, even by myself. It is lightweight but sturdy, and compares very nicely to heavier ceramic komados. I also like the gas assist, but do find it inconvenient when wanting to use the upper charcoal grate position. After things get lit, it's easy to control and maintain temperature. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and look forward to many happy years with it.

The propane charcoal starting device needs to be re-engineered. The igniter on mine failed in less than two years. Recently, the propane regulator also failed a little after two years and the replacement igniter failed again. The location of the propane flame is too low and should be closer to where the charcoal is located. After 3 years of use substantial rust has formed on the leg areas. Finally, one of the grilling rods on the grill surface has separated from the rest of the grill due to a poor weld. Given all of these issues, The Summit Charcoal Grilling Center is greatly overpriced. DON'T BUY IT unless you are willing to accept all of the above problems and probably other long-term issues.

We've had ours for a few years. The major problem is the ignitor. If you're grilling steaks, burgers etc, the ignitor is useless. The flame does not reach the charcoal in the high position. I bought a chimmy for regular grilling. I feel this should be addressed. Other then that, this grill is fabulous!

I have not had time to cook on the grill yet. But I did throw a can of charcoal in it to burn off the oils. I can already tell it will hold temp for long periods of time. I had a performer previously. I had to wait on a part that was not threaded. Not a problem especially when it comes to weber customer service. They asked me to send some pictures and describe the problem. And they sent the parts out right away. I purchased my first weber grill over 40 years ago and had many throughout the years. Not because they failed. I just upgraded and passed them onto my friends. Weber grills are made to last unlike other BBQ brands that I call throw away grills after a couple of years. When I go to the big hardware stores, I like to go over to the BBQ section. When I see people looking at BBQs, I go brag about the weber grills which I have convinced many people throughout the years, even my friends to purchase weber grills. Thanks again for another wonderful product and support.

Been very happy with it. Tried a pellet grill but can never replace charcoal. I tried once before but never again. I have always had a Weber kettle that always worked good but this new Summit S6 works so much better in every way. I think it is a little overpriced but glad I pulled the trigger and bought the one I wanted. No regrets.

Love this grill, it's sooo Weber. It's well thought out. Weber has taken the Performer and put it on steroids. They added double wall air Insulation, stainless gasket lid insulation, rapid fire vent system, super beefy stainless grilling & charcoal grates, visual indicators for bottom vent settings, a port & cover for automatic temp controller, increased the cooking grate to 24", heavy duty hinged lid, a drawer, copious amount of storage underneath and a large stainless steel work space. This is the ultimate grill / kamado, it has it all. It comes with everything you would need. It's ready for low & slow, searing and indirect right out of the box. I've used ceramic cookers and this to me is more user friendly. The air insulation is incredibly efficient at maintaining temps during cold & wind additionally its lighter and can adjust much quicker temperature overshoots. If you are on the fence pull the trigger, you won't be disappointed.

I bought this as a housewarming gift to myself three years ago and have used it almost weekly since. It replaced my smoker and old grill. With the addition of the Spider Venom fan controller, this grill will hold 225 for 20+ hours and still have fuel left. The propane starter clogged up due to my own lack of cleaning, but I use the wax cubes anyway. With a Vortex, you'll make the best wings you've ever had, and sear your meats beautifully.

And the best thing about this grill is that all you need is lit charcoal. No motors, no propane, no electricity. If you can light a fire, you can cook.

I purchased my Summit Kamado S6 to replace my Performer and 18” Smoky Mountain (which are amazing cookers) since I now live in a cold climate and wanted an insulated cooker to cook more consistently in the cold. I’m still learning the habits of this cooker, but so far I know I’m going to love its efficiency and temperature stability. I like the fact that it’s a grill and smoker in one, and it does each well. One feature that disappoints me is the gas ignition. I love my Performer because of the gas charcoal igniter. The igniter on the Summit Kamado is useless in the “grilling” configuration. It works fine it the lower “smoking” configuration. Weber needs to come up with a fix for this, as this is marketed as a key feature of this cooker. All in all this cooker is an expensive investment, but if it lasts as long as most Webers do, and if there are problems or issues with it and the warranty and/or customer service takes care of it, it will be a smart purchase.

Charcoal won’t light when using propane ignition system on top level. Why even have propane ignition system? Terrible design.

I wrote a review days ago and scored this low because I did not have the springs included in the hinge when I was assembling. I was told by support that I would receive a confirmation email when/if a replacement was shipped. I wrote my other review as I didnt receive a confirmation email, but that same day I did receive the hinge (after submitting my low scoring review). I was upset that I couldn't use the grill on Thanksgiving and throught that the response was slow due to not getting the confirmation email. However, after receiving the hinge, I have completed assembly and I look forward to using the grill. Just wanted to update and clarify. I expect that after I use the grill I will be able to give 5 stars.

Only issue I found so far you can not ignite the charcoal with the provide propane ignition with the fuel grate in the upper position which is not a huge issue provide Weber supplied a second fuel grate insert so when I light the fuel with a chimney I would not have to reach for a hot grate to reposition to the upper level for grilling. Aside from this the Summit is an exceptional cooking rig.

I debated long & hard before making this purchase. I already a grill that I enjoyed using but I was limited with the types of cooks I could perform with it. I thought about getting a pellet grill for it’s ease of use. I also thought about getting a ceramic Kamado style grill for their flexibility. I watched countless videos on YouTube with many people discussing the pros & cons of each cooker. Money was a factor as well. I wanted to get the best “bang for my buck.” I wanted to get a grilled that would grow with me and offer various ways of cooking great dishes. I needed something that offered various accessories to make even mundane cooks exciting and easy. After a 2 year search (yes, 2 years) I settled on the Weber Summit Kamado. It is everything I hoped it would be and I could not be happier! This thing is a double steel-walled tank that locks in your desired temperature like a kitchen oven. While I know I would enjoy the ease of use of a pellet grill, I’m an old-school wood & coals guy. I can purchase a pellet grill sometime in the future if I want to. I decided against a ceramic Kamado style grill because of the sheer weight of these cookers. I’m no longer a young man (but I have some juice left in the tank!) Ceramic can crack (it’s hard to do but it can be done) and that would ruin the grill. All these factors directed me to the Weber Summit. Although it wasn’t cheap, I am content that I got what I paid for. Looking forward for all the cool & fun cooks that lie ahead for me with this wonderful grill! Bravo Weber and thank you!!!

A little bit of charcoal, lump coal or wood goes a long way
