Weber stopped selling the MT Premium in the U.S. and probably offloaded remaining stock to Costco. Perhaps they have a new top end MT in the pipeline. The hinged lid is good when it fits well. The diffuser plate is a gimmick that doesn't work well in my experience. I don't use it. Not enough...

One of the (first world) problems I have is living in a terraced house. No side or rear access. Everything comes through the house and there are many steps to the back yard. A heavy ceramic kamado would have been a nightmare. My BBQ shelter has riven slabs for flooring and I have limited space...

You could have bought a new one for the price of all the cleaning products :LOL: Looks great and the enamelled parts should last another 14 years.

I'd had my eye on the Summit Charcoal for a few years. I wanted one. Very few people had bought them in the U.K. Price was the issue for me. It seemed overpriced and never got the big discounts offered on other Weber grills. I was never interested in the ceramic Kamados. At a major birthday...

My Weber rotisserie ring is not as snug as I would like it to be but it has done the job for several years. The weight of the rotisserie motor will pull it down, especially without a hunk of meat on the skewer and even more if the enamel mating surfaces are nice and shiny. It's an interference...

I sold a 22" WSM and an old 22" MT to make space for the E6. The WSM was too big for our empty nest and I did all the small scale low and slow on my MT Premium, or the UDS for bigger cooks. 20-30 mins to get the E6 running steadily. I'd say I'm still learning and have to keep reminding myself...

Like many others I would go for the Summit Kamado as a one and only grill. I only use my MT for rotisserie or plancha now. Looked at the Spit on Fire rotisserie yesterday. Looks good, but it's too expensive. Maybe keep the Santa Maria grill and get the cheapest MT, even a secondhand one for...

Seems likely that Weber offloaded remaining stock to Costco. They are currently $500 in the U.K. (with an 11% discount). Over here it comes with the GBS sear grate, not the cover. Weber U.K. website says it has low stocks. I wonder if it will be phased out here too? Maybe a new model in the...

If there were awards for vague replies that would definitely have a place on the podium!

It's still available here in the U.K. MT Premium U.K.

It could be that the ring holds the briquettes more tightly together (at least at the start) and gives a more even burn. Plus maybe better airflow around the ring? 24 hours at 225f is impressive and it looks like it could have gone even longer. It is definitely very fuel efficient compared to...

Once every 4 years or if it gets embarrassingly dirty, whichever comes first ;)

I think the loose top damper is a common problem. It's annoying to have to check and reset it every time you lift the lid. Is it supposed to have enough resistance to not spin loosely? Maybe as the gunk builds up it'll stay in position. Looks like your gasket is not fixed on, you can see the...

My thoughts are: Lumpwood by its nature is going to burn a little inconsistently compared to briquettes. Interesting reading the E6 guide for low and slow. It says 35-45 briquettes for 8-10 hours of cooking. If I have read it correctly all the coals are lit. This is surprising but if you have...

It has always been overpriced for a pressed steel product. It can maintain a high price because it has unique cooking flexibility, looks good and easier to manage than a ceramic kamado. Porcelain enamel is a wonderful finish and surprisingly inexpensive. I'd take a baked in transfer over a...

Sounds like a clockwise direction to me :LOL:

If you look at the U.S. Owner manuals the latest models have 3 castors, manual dated 30th Dec 2020 The previous manual dated 5th Nov 2020 had the two fixed wheels. Must have listened to customers feedback about poor manoeuvrability with the fixed wheels. My UK manual is dated 7th Jan 2021 so...

21st June 2021 It's a European model (no idea what the differences are) Part #. 18201004

So that's three logos out of alignment on this thread alone. That's statistically a systematic QA problem. 😉

I'd have to take them both for a test drive :giggle:
