Hi everyone,
I’m a long time griller / smoker. I started 30 years ago with gas for many years before graduating straight to a BGE. After 10 years, I grew tired of dealing with the maintenance required for a ceramic. So I sold it and bought a Weber kettle, a RecTeq pellet smoker, and a Blackstone. The Blackstone was a PITA so it didn’t stick around for long. I added a second kettle - kinda by accident - and that was my set up for almost 7 years. I’ve smoked and grilled just about everything except lamb and duck.

A few months ago, I gave my second kettle to my new son-in-law to introduce him into charcoal grilling the RIGHT way :). So I was back down to a single Weber kettle and the pellet smoker. After lusting over the Summit Kamado for 7 years, I finally added it about a month ago. The lack of accessory support from Weber and the low YouTube content drove me to find this forum.

I’ve kept my kettle (and likely will forever) but I am trying to decide if the Kamado is a worth keeping. I’ve done some high heat grilling (smash burgers) and some roasting (wings and spatchcock chicken. Today, on my 56th b-day - I am smoking two racks of ribs and a pork brisket. Next week will be more chicken and a brisket over the weekend.

Then I will make my final call. Hopefully this community can help me sort through my conundrum!
 
Welcome from Iowa. Not having a Summit Kamado I can't give much input on that. I know there are countless accessories for Weber kettles and God knows I have a bunch and use a lot of them. Can any of the kettle accessories be used on the Kamado? You will find lots of help here with your questions and keep on grilling!
 
Welcome @Logan-Cincy

Nice to have another WSK owner join the forum. There are a few of us here. I've had my WSK since 2021 and am a long time BGE owner also. I've used my kettle two, maybe three times since 2021 and my coal cooks are evenly split between the WSK and the BGE.

This thread might interest you if you haven't seen it. If the thread was tagged with "wsk" then you can find them.

I am working on a way to use my rotisserie ring on the WSK.

The roti ring will fit inside the WSK, and I can then use a kettle lid to close it off.

edit: I don't like the metal-roti-ring resting on the porcelain inside the WSK

Until then, I'll keep my performer just for rotisserie even if it is rarely used.
