Weber Summit 24" Kamado S6 Charcoal Grill Center - 18501101

Our take on the Summit 24" Kamado S6 Charcoal Grill Center

The Weber Summit 24-inch Kamado is a charcoal grill built around a double-walled steel bowl and lid, finished with porcelain enamel inside and out. The trapped air between the walls acts as an insulator, helping the grill hold steady heat for up to 12 hours on one charcoal load and respond to temperature changes more quickly than ceramic models. It offers 452 square inches of stainless steel cooking space, a hinged Gourmet BBQ System grate with a removable 12-inch insert, and a propane-powered Snap-Jet igniter that gets the fire going quickly. A two-position charcoal grate lets you switch between low smoking heat and high searing heat.

This grill suits people who want a large, versatile charcoal cooker for family meals, smoking, or searing. Before buying, check that you have room for a unit of this size and a supply of charcoal, and note that the Snap-Jet ignition runs on a 16-ounce propane cylinder, which you will need to keep on hand.

About the Summit 24" Kamado S6 Charcoal Grill Center

Kamado Grills & Smokers. Taking the classic design of the Weber kettle grill and making it bigger and bolder in every way, the Weber Kamado Grilling Center is designed to make backyard grilling and smoking more easy and convenient. Made of premium-grade U.

S. Steel coated with porcelain enamel inside and out, the Summit Kamado grill features a double walled bowl and lid. Air is trapped between the double walls and acts as an insulator, retaining heat and keeping the temperature consistent for up to 12 hours on a single load of charcoal.

In addition, the air insulated design allows the grill to respond to temperature adjustments much faster than grills made from ceramic. The 24-inch stainless steel cooking grate offers 452 square inches of cooking space, so you can cook for the whole family easily. The Summit Kamado grill also features the Gourmet BBQ System hinged cooking grate with a 12-inch insert that can be replaced with other components (sold separately) such as a wok or pizza stone, allowing you to cook a wider variety of food on the grill.

The Snap-Jet gas ignition system runs off a 16 ounce propane cylinder so you can start the fire with a gas flame and be ready to cook in 15 minutes. With the two position charcoal grate, you can set the grate low for smoking or high for high searing heat. For more improved cooking at low temperature, place the stainless steel heat diffuser plate just above the coals.

The plate deflects heat away from food, keeping the consistently low. The Summit Kamado is designed to take the guesswork out of perfecting the airflow during cooking. Three bottom vent positions make it easy to dial in the right amount of air.
