Wow, looks even better than the stock photos. Haven't been tempted in awhile, but this has activated the itch.

Thanks for all the info - sounds like if it's not already a problem it will be one eventually. Don't really need it - will just stick with genesis for now and keep an eye out for a 1st gen.

Thank you - Isn't this a 1st gen Summit though - early 2000's? I have the Genesis equivalent to this grills vintage - which they made for many years - and the build quality seems better than the current genesis line - plus, really easy to source parts for.

Are these style Summits worth getting into? I thought I'd heard parts for these were next to impossible to get. This one looks to be in pretty good shape and can get it for $100.

Just saw this - wish they were offering all master touch colors in the 26, but it's a start. https://www.weber.com/US/en/charcoal/original-kettle/master-touch-26-charcoal-grill/1500064.html

Agreed, I'd prefer two smaller birds. Still might keep this one in the garage freezer and go with 2 smaller ones - just grabbed the 27 as I was between work trips and wanted to get the discounted price based on my grocery shopping. Always nice to have a couple in the freezer for later in the...

I picked up my turkey last week and it's quite large - 27lbs. The store I got it at had limited selection and every bird was between 25 and 30 - never seen anything like it. I plan on using the apple brine and then smoke on 18 wsm. Obviously I'll need to break down the bird for it to fit...

Thought I'd give this a bump - if anyone has an older Genesis (early 2000's) that they're parting out - looking for a replacement side burner. I've seen quite a few genesis come up on craigslist, but really don't have the room to store another grill. Please PM me if you have one to sell...

I've cooked on it 5 times now and just wish I'd gotten one years ago - one day I'll probably say that about the summit/kamado - if I can ever find one cheap lol. I've done pork butts, 15lb turkey and ribs a few times. Using the instructions on this site - every cook has been a success. Still...

Yeah, dropped the ball on taking pics - next time. I took the no-peaking advice seriously, maybe too seriously...lol

Cook went grate - just used the top grate. Started the grill at about midnight and butts were done a little after 11AM. First time running a WSM - followed site advice on firing up and reducing vents once it hit 200. Used a meater thermometer and the graph showed the temp running in the...

Will this fit on my early 2000s genesis gold?

Thanks for the help/advice - will definitely go the 1 shelf/grate approach.

My apologies if this is already available somewhere - checked the site for newbies on getting started and didn't see anything. I'm planning smoking a couple of pork butts in the 6-8LB range this weekend. This will be my first cook on an 18" WSM I picked up used a month or so back. Do I need...
