Hi everyone!
I discovered this website several years ago when I had a Weber Master Touch Kettle and was looking for advice on the best ways to cook on it. This site was a great resource for me - between this and several YouTubers I was able to successfully use my kettle for both low-and-slow cooking and grilling for 3-4 years. I lived in Northern Nevada, and I struggled at times in the cold weather to get it to hold its temps, which made me wish for a kamado cooker for my low-and-slow cooking. But I knew we would be moving in a couple years and decided it wasn't worth buying anything until after that. Then in 2020 as we were packing up to move to Florida (my original home and where my family lives), I sold off all my Weber kettle stuff knowing that we would be in an apartment for an indeterminate amount of time and would not be able to use it. I figured I would re-evaluate our needs when the time came.
Well, the time is coming soon!
We live in West-Central Florida and have for 2 years, and decided we really like the area we are in. When our lease renewal came around again, our rent when up another 20%, so we decided that if we are going to spend that much money for housing, we should buy a house after all! We are on contract for a new house to be built, breaking ground this month and be ready for move-in around June 1st next year.
After researching our needs and desires for outdoor cooking, I have decided that the
Weber Summit Kamado E6 is going to be what we are going to buy! I had thought about a Traeger because it is perfect for the lazy BBQ'er, but really don't like that I can't easily sear steaks and such on it. And I don't want to buy 2 different cookers. So, I am back to being a Weber-gal! I am so excited about the possibilities of the WSK and the fact that I already have some experience with the kettle side of cooking should mean a little less learning curve. The WSK seems to have the best of both worlds - kettle-style grilling and Kamado-style slow cooking. And even though I am no longer in a cold, snowy winter location, I love the potential of the insulated walls to really add temperature stability to all the cooking modes! It seems like the perfect and natural upgrade to the kettle I used before!
I have already been reading some of the forum posts tagged with wsk and can't wait for next summer! I am so happy to be here!
