WEBER Summit Charcoal Gril
Weber Summit 24-Inch Charcoal Grilling Center – Black. 18501001. Freestanding Charcoal Grills. 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

Buy it when your 20 and you can still be using it when your 80. I have used Weber grills for decades (and they last for decades). This is by far my favorite. Didn’t take all that long to put together. Instructions were easy to follow. The only hard part was getting the protective plastic off the stainless steel surfaces.My kettles have been 18″ and 22″. Was surprised to see how much extra room 24″ gave. I prefer the charcoal bin setup on the Performer as all you have to do is tip it. The lid for the Summit’s charcoal bin isn’t…
Pricy, but NOT overpriced. This is Weber’s entry into the Kamado style cooker arena and it delivers. I see reviews here complaining about its high price, and that you can do the same thing on a Performer. I had a performer and loved it. I still do, but it is outclassed here.The special part of this grill is the air-insulated kettle. The hot air from the coal area fills the area between the kettle walls making this great for holding heat no matter the ambient air temps…
