Excited for mine, Christmas present!

Very cool, I didn't even think to look for this. Thanks Mack! Joe, excellent example you have there. Very nice.

sorry, I don't mean to paint a life of luxury, just a splurge on a grill with features I always felt would be great to have. I still drive a small car and live in a modest home :). I have the blessing of my wife on the purchase (worth more than the money). Along with the cost comes the risk...

I wish I did, but I consider the 2500 I spent yesterday split over 8 years or so as acceptable. The E6 and smoke fire were each $600, so I was fortunate there. I have always wanted the functionality of the summit, so its a splurge for me for sure.

Thanks Chris and Lmichaels. Im aware of the risks here, but will take my lumps if they eventually come. I have had very good history with weber customer care. I had issues with my weber E6 (I had the faulty cart when they initially launched, received an additional grill for free, and recycled...

Hey Bruce, thanks for the tips. I don't expect it to last much longer than 10 years, and 10 years is the amount of time I can get any faulty parts replaced by Weber for free. Expecting more than 10 years out of modern grills is unfortunately only something we could do some time ago. My life...

I bought a genesis II s435 at Costco on close out. Assembled last week and have done two cooks. It’s a really good grill and I’m very impressed. I saw the sale yesterday on these summits and called Costco to see if they would take it back. They said no problem. The s470 sold out quicker than I...

there are four. it doesn't seem right either. the two on the edge seem like they would be under the burners, but they bump into the tub. this seems to be how they want to fit. my brain was expecting that there is one under each burner, but in this picture that is not the case. I will...

I picked this up today to keep for grilling at my moms house (Gen II E 410 SE ... I think). It has minimal use and is in great shape. Few pics before the question: I disaasembled everything that would shake in my expedition on the ride to my moms, and did not know if I assembled these...

Does IPE just coat over the existing black porcelain enamel with another coat?

Thanks Brenda!

When ..... ? ;)

For my situation, I have too many grills. I got approval through the sale of two large eggs, two kamado joe jrs, and one 26” kettle. That funded the purchase of this grill and a smokefire while they were on sale. But the money was secondary to clearing some space for them. I still have too many...

I doubt it’s a pellet refresh, they just released the “gen2” smoke fire (Ive had it a month and it’s awesome). Their teaser hinted at something big, my prediction is a 26” WSM or performer.

I love it. I used the first one I received for more than a month and it’s a true kamado. I have not smoked on it yet, but I feel it would work just like the XL big green egg.
