SmallBBQr 821 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 With the Weber S6 and E6 being officially called "kamado" by Weber, and probably quite a few older Summit Charcoal owners too, might generate some more traffic and/or content from some more metal-heads...

Forgive my ignorance but what is the S6 and E6? Only the old Summit is listed on the Weber website Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SmallBBQr 821 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Or to put it in a more positive light, they removed unnecessary features/options from the original design and are able to provide it at a lower cost now. A Big Joe here is $3300 compared to $2300 for the Weber S6 with table, or $1300 for the standalone. I actually still think they are over-priced (as are all Kamados!) but they've priced them where they think they will sell. In the words of Baby Back Maniac - if he had to get rid of all his MANY grills and keep only one, this would be it. I sold my ceramic and just put my Keg is up for sale too. I have an S6 coming next week. Can't wait to spin it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I had been able to buy one in Aus before i picked up my Big Joe, I would have and will likely get one in the future if/when I move house Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rollin Coal 0 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I'd just like to second the motion of a summit specific page. I just purchased mine and am waiting for delivery. I feel that the summit is unique in that it can operate as a Kamado as well as a kettle and thus deserves its own forum. It isn't just another BSK or Akorn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Setzler 14,937 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 If we have a few people here who own these and want a sub section I will put it together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Webber_Grills 23 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I’d also like to see those things get attention. I’m seriously considering an E6 (no cart) for my setup losing the gas ignition to drop the price about $500 was a good trade Don’t need the cart since I have a lot of stainless countertop already Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Setzler 14,937 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 That E6 might be a great system to have at that price point. I'm at the same crossroads with that as the Big Joe. I just don't have any use for a grill that big. Also has Weber provided a port where you can run a temperature probe into that grill? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SmallBBQr 821 Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 There is no port for a probe - users just run it across the lip of the bowl as there are no sharp edges. There is a dedicated port for a temperature controller. Example... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SmallBBQr 821 Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Also just noticed I went to change my grill type in my profile, and had to choose "Other" as there was no listing for the Weber Summit (either the original charcoal versions, or the re branded E6/S6). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
