EJ Reviews: Weber Summit Charcoal Grill

EJ got a great deal on a Weber Summit Charcoal grill, so he put it through its paces by cooking two of every animal. Just like Noah, but eating all the animals instead of saving them. (RE-UPLOADED because of sound issues)

LOL... "Here's an alcoholic for scale." Why did I relate to that so readily??!! Great job, excellent editing. And I love your twisted humor.

[@-Flabbergasted-]

😭🤣

[@TooManySteamGames]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this show is very underrated.

[@Dee-nonamnamrson8718]

As is everything EJ does.

[@store_brand]

It's just a sleeper. He'll have that breakthrough episode that makes people go watch all the others. The fact EJ keeps the quality up in the face of low view count will most definitely pay off.

[@flirtzwithgirls]

agreed

[@scott09081981]

Completely agree, actual legit information with a great sense of humor

[@davidl6671]

Nicely done. 4 years ago and still relevant and helpful. New subscriber.

[@p9raceway759]

I enjoyed your video. I bought Weber Summit from a hardware store for $799 assembled (brand new, 2 years old) This is a really good grill & smoker.

[@EricBlairMRERICBLAIR]

2 YEARS AGO? WHERE?

[@theimp67]

Fantastic review. I'm looking in to getting one of these, feels like it might be a better option than a ceramic grill, and your review went in to a fair bit of detail. The best thing about the review, and why it was an instant subscribe for me, is the generous sprinkling of sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek humour.

[@ELFKidsVideos]

Great review. Informative and funny. Thank you.

[@Smaug1]

Well-done. I like the humor and honesty. We can tell you're not sponsored and that lends real credibility. Subscribed.

[@omardelgado8325]

How many times did you watch Ferris Buellers Day off as a kid?

[@bashmohandes]

I like you're style, great informative video and nice touch 👍🏼

[@thephantomkeith2656]

OMG you said my name! I love boring salmon!

[@NotMyRealName1]

So I bought a Weber Kamado largely on the back of this review. What a grilling machine it is. Shared a perfectly reverse-seared massive strip steak with the wife tonight, maybe favourite steak ever. Thanks EJ!

[@RedCowEntertainment]

I basically only use this grill now. Still going strong. Made a pizza in it last night, and I’ll make ribs on it today.

[@tanman999]

If I don't see an alligator, kangaroo, or spider episode of EJ reviews next I'm gonna be disappointed.

[@gmag9094]

I like you. Your dry humor is spot on, good sir. Subbed.

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

I want to say I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Not only was the content excellent but the man with the beard that made it was thoroughly enjoyable. It’s enjoyable thoroughly. I would like this grill.

[@dansong.tolman2793]

Thanks for the video. I have 2 BGE. I have broken some parts over the years and it is expensive to replace. I am looking forward gettingrhis grill and compare with the ceramics. Keep up the good info.

[@RedCowEntertainment]

Still my favorite grill! You won't be disappointed

[@sideyardbarbecue3214]

I hope Weber is watching because what you paid is what it should cost. I would never pay $1500 for that. Great review ej. ( great humor as well)

[@tanman999]

Sorry guys. I clicked the like button, but there is no way I'm gonna hit the bell icon for anyone. Don't need no notifications, I'm gonna see your video anyways.

[@green76044]

May I ask you a question? I have my Summit delivered last week. I used it for the first time this weekend. After the first use, I cleaned up the ashes with one touch. Then I noticed that metal wings from the one touch system did actually scratch the enamel. Have you spotted if the one touch system scratches the bowl in your Summit?

[@wiggymccrackin8240]

I gave a thumbs up and subscribed not because of the grille, but because of this guy. Lmao!!!!

[@jyfjgtyuh]

Great video, I found out that 17 minutes is the perfect cooking time for salmon. I like this grill, but it is way overpriced. Here in Europe it cost 1500 euro for the basic model, without the ignition and 2500 euro for the cart version. So weber is basicity charging 1000 euro for a small cart! I'm staying with my weber performer for now.

[@SaucedThoughts]

First time watching you, you're awesome! Def underrated

[@MrVara411]

Great review! Thank you so much.

[@jjmart9203]

Great review!!! Any regrets for not getting the summit charcoal grill with the table ?

[@RedCowEntertainment]

Nope! Don’t miss the table at all! I move it from my backyard to garage a lot so I like that it’s slightly more maneuverable!

[@davidjeanpierre2358]

Great video and informative. Your sense of humor was delightful and fun! New subscriber and looking forward to more videos! 😀

[@alonzocantu4820]

How did I just find this channel? I'm hooked.

[@tfries72]

I want this so bad but just got a SNS for my 22’ Weber we will see how long it will last me until I want to upgrade to this

[@JMGeranimo]

Got mine for 925 off eBay shipped , it's insanely stable on long cooks. Hate the legs though, mines a tad wobbly.

[@russellseward9616]

Thanks! I’m considering this grill, and love Weber, but I do think they cheaped out in a few area’s (wheels) which is frustrating given the price tag.

[@RedCowEntertainment]

I really love this grill, it's my favorite to use. But I do agree the price tag is way too high.

[@snazzyd6915]

I liked this first EJ video....then I kinda didn't, and then I REALLY liked it and subbed. It was a journey, but one unlike most on youtube and I've decided to hop onboard...

[@RedCowEntertainment]

SnazzyD thanks for watching and dealing with my weirdness! Glad you enjoy it

[@wiggymccrackin8240]

"Not an important flap." 🤣🤣🤣

[@Michele-ot8bh]

Funny, made me laugh, more importantly, most helpful as I am researching which bbq to buy. This was one I was looking at, but also the Weber wood pellet 2nd generation grill. Your opinion would be appreciated please.

[@BBQvibesLONGBOARDrides]

This is AMAZING!!! “The ground is nature’s table”??? Baahahahaha! 😆😆😆

Wow great find

[@darrenjlabas]

Loved your video, great commentary! You, my friend, have a new subscriber 👍

[@lenjaisb]

"teeth? dont need them" lost it.

[@peterapgar8149]

Just had my Summit up to 950+ degrees for "brick oven' pizza. The grill did great. The Gourmet Chef pizza stone broke into pieces, however.

[@Lonigahi953]

That's weird. Did you put it in with the Summit cold and let the stone come to temperature with it?

[@ELEVOPR]

@@Lonigahi953 sounds like he did not. He must of put it in at cold temp :o/

[@STP420D]

I have eyed the Weber Summit / Komodo for some time. Anytime a used one comes up on FB Market it's gone in a minute. I would love it Weber would listen to EJ... Price it at a grand and sell a ton. Then I need to do something w my Performer... Great videos EJ.

[@Anteater23]

How does it compare to pit barrel cooker?

[@01mrlek]

First review I have seen on this grill that doesn't seem like an infomercial

[@johnharbour4936]

Just stumbled upon this video and loved it! Very funny and great review. Those steaks looked fantastic.

[@juliankirby9880]

Smoked lentils probably goes super good with grilled lamb.

[@encinosarah]

I love your reviews, EJ. Questions: Could you have put the lit coals on top of unlit coals to go longer without having to add more charcoal? Was there room enough under the deflector plate to do that?

[@millenialbroadcast]

You are a weird dude. But I did laugh often and learn a few things. Nice job 👍🏾

[@s.a.schmitt]

Another thorough, excellent review. Loved the make-out flames. Ooh yeah.....

[@the-bu3lb]

But couldn’t you just get an auto temp controller to keep exact temps u want.

[@JamesWPeetll]

The first time I ever heard of a Kamado was when my wife was given a Vision Cadet. I'm addicted to kamados and may eventually go to a larger size because I want to cook more when we have company. Where do you think the vision would stand if you were to place it among these three. The reason I decided against the summit is that I've always wished I could cook with a tandoor and the kamado seems to come very close.

[@williammcelleney1060]

Very entertaining, funny and informative, thanks for the great review!

[@vanq884]

Also the leg inserts were left there for keeping to the kettle grill history. You can get this answer from Weber KZbin. Other Komato styles are not better. This thing can do it all. Also the charcoal summit heat longevity is amazing. 250 degrees with a full slow cook is an average 16 hrs +. Thought I could help out with your info message about this super grill.

[@Hades035]

You do know that the dome temp is always off because the other probe measures temp at the grid, right?

[@jayhickey5012]

I love these reviews.

[@evolvegod8761]

Great review and comedic commentary.

[@fordmustangjaime]

Any issues with this grill? I'm thinking of getting one, I have a spider 22(love it) and a firedisc.

[@bryanthompson6988]

Good stuff! Informative and very entertaining.

[@nyanates]

Not my style of humor but a solid/thorough review. Good job... liked!

[@kevinhurt7119]

How about a long term review? Thoughts after 5 years with it?

[@RedCowEntertainment]

I love it. It's my most used grill. It's going strong. Perfect for New England weather.

[@kevinhurt7119]

@@RedCowEntertainment Thanks. I am thinking about getting one of these after the holidays.

[@NickAlati]

All right you're hysterical this is a great video

[@avega2792]

So was there a part 2 after all?

[@derikandreoli5177]

This is amusing.

[@monkeyb1820]

Watch out for those dollar-store paint brushes. You're apt to get boar's ass hair bristles on your ribs. Oh, and get some throw-away aluminum pans to catch your drippings. Overall good job. I'd love to have a wsc, but I already have a wsm and performer (their 22" in table).

[@bimteck]

Greatest review ever

[@Punisher-1]

This grill is hard to find. It's not even on weber website.

[@kesselrunheroj8497]

I am positive that the summit is a fantastic grill - but I have cooked so much great food on my old 22" kettle that its really hard to justify $1000 dollars on any grill. Of course i live in the deep south where cold weather is rarely an issue.

[@itr0863]

hopefully you can review the slow n sear kamado

[@BBQ_JerrY]

Lol great content

[@koyinj]

Great video and a amazing commentator.

[@jrocthadino]

5hrs for one chimney at 225 at 80 degrees seems pretty average results you would get with at 22 kettle with a slow and sear.

[@thephantomkeith2656]

Do you have a gigantic shed? Where do you store all your outdoors yum yum equipment?

[@RedCowEntertainment]

Keith Sadeck luckily the house I just bought has a yard that can be filled with grills... I mean my son can run around in... around my grills

[@TexasRanchu]

I subbed..ur video is very entertaining. Not sure how I never seen ur video before

[@soupforare]

rooooooll that beautiful saws footage

[@bkredfern]

Dome temp will always be different than the temp at the grate, apples to oranges.

[@goldenretrogames]

I just got one of these and have been having a real hard time getting low & slow temps on it. Even with the vents barely open, I still go up to 325F and it doesn't drop like your temp did. I close the vents early and light very few coals to start. It's been very disappointing and I hope to figure it out soon.

[@RedCowEntertainment]

goldenretrogames I've been mostly using the snapjet thing. Just light it for 5 minutes then put the heat deflector in and close the bottom vent a hair under the smoke symbol. Close the top vent around 1/4 or so and usually I hit the lower side of things. It likes to hit 250 for me but I'm cool with that most of the time.

[@goldenretrogames]

That's exactly what I did for a test this afternoon, but my top vent was less than 1/4 open. It climbed to 350F and settled at 325F after about 90min. Part of me is wondering if I have an air leak somewhere. The only place I saw smoke exit the grill was from the top vent and from where my grate probe fed through. I doubt the leak from the probe would cause problems. Before it settles at 250F for you, does it still overshoot first and then come back down? It's frustrating, because I can hit 250F without any effort on my kettle. I'll keep at it and I'm sure I'll figure out what's going on at some point.

[@RedCowEntertainment]

goldenretrogames it only overshot the first time I used it documented in the video and then I got it to come down rather quickly with the vents barely open. Since then I've hit 250 and under consistently. Very strange! I'd keep at it!

[@goldenretrogames]

Some people have suggested that the temps might get better once it's seasoned. It's possible yours was better seasoned on subsequent cooks. I had mine running most of the day today, so we'll see what happens the next time I try it.

[@goldenretrogames]

Red Cow Entertainment I got the problem solved. My bottom vent wasn’t assembled properly in the factory. Removed and reinstalled it, then was able to maintain 250F - 260F.

[@rokfather]

Pretty sure this is J.P. Sears' cousin...!

[@hypersoniclightningfast1422]

I'd like this channel to be in the recommended section of vegans 😜. Keep up the good work and greetings from a bbq carnivor!

[@stephanieyeminez89]

Can i buy your shirt? I love it.

[@clydeperrine2959]

Ok, another grilling video produced by someone I have never heard of. Why does KZbin think I would enjoy this guy's video? Do I subscribe to this guy? He didn't really ask me to, which is surprisingly different from others. I think I will invest some time and watch some of his previous videos.

[@RedCowEntertainment]

i don't like to be pushy. enjoy!

[@Dee-nonamnamrson8718]

You should start your own review channel. I would definitely subscribe. Other than scavenger junt, I cant bring myself to watch the rest of the videos. But everytime I see your reviews I insta click.

[@nldavidson]

nonam namrson They have plenty of reviews on Red Cow Pods & Clips and I'm pretty sure EJ is on the panel for most of them. They also have a show on this channel called No Views, where Frankie reviews narrative films and EJ occasionally makes an appearance. Hope this helped!

[@kdaddy310]

Same, I only watch EJ videos here.

[@thepelletcooker5118]

7 hours?? Seems a bit long to me

[@vanq884]

I have to say something about your digital temp. It must be off. The built on temp is just about dead on. I also a a guru and it is about in sink with built on one. Check out babyback maniac on his his run of this grill. I will say there are more guys out there with vids on this grill like pitmasterx on you tube also.

[@leroycolejr6336]

I one similar at Walmart for 97 dollars I'm thinking about getting it

[@juliankirby9880]

Make plant ghosts bro, the animal ghosts need food too

[@ELEVOPR]

Agreed, Weber is seriously over priced. Great video, Will most likely go for a Grilla Grill for Half the Price $799 with accessories and Shipped to my Door. ;o)

[@utilitymaximizer9026]

Holy crap, is that prime or choice steak from Costco? That has to be a packing mistake.

for 1k that's not bad in fact a steal since it's bigger than the egg at the same price without the cart. would never pull the 2k though for the cart version. great video as usual! especially for an alcoholic.

also, please do smoked tofu and lentil recipe.

lol love the video interesting and informative also halarius

[@vanq884]

Be open minded the fake leg implants where there are no more legs like the original is kind of a pun to kind of keep the look of the old kettle. Check out baby back maniac site on KZbin he is very detailed about his summit. It is his favorite go to Komodo cooker. I have had mine for two years I have a stick smoker and I have a YS Yoder pellet cooker, the Weber Summit is a great grill you cannot beat it and I have the one with the stainless steel flat top

[@jasonaguilar4929]

😂👍🏾🤘🏾
