“Nice smoke ring..” Shows picture, no smoke ring.

[@KaeganThornhillTheCyberRaven]

Clearly the Meat is cutting back on smoking. Good on them.

[@Dr-YouTube]

@@KaeganThornhillTheCyberRaven 😂

[@Niagra2011]

I saw a smoke ring, or was that an Aborition. No, it was a ghost! You can send the IGrill to my cousin in Ostende.

[@robertefreeman6945]

this video is from 2017, is this model still available with the igniter and not all the table

[@BrettWilliamson]

I bought one of these 2 weeks ago for $2,500 Australian (gas ignition and charcoal together are not allowed in Australia apparently). I've cooked about 10 meals on it so far and can't get enough of it. It's temperature stability for Ribs or bake part of a Reverse Sear is awesome. Then pop open the vent and up she fires for a red hot sear. I love this BBQ and now look at my kettle with guilt because I know it probably won't get used much anymore.

[@js78js]

Hi Pitmaster X, thanks for this review always enjoy watching your channel. I too own this grill, since March this year. It is absolutely amazing for both small and very large cooks. Since you did a one shot review perhaps good to add some perspective of using the grill over a longer period from my side as I use the grill weekly. It works like a charm and it is runs very economical on its fuel and you can manage/correct temperatures really well. I did some longer cooks on it 10 - 15 hours and it managed to stay on temp really well if you clean the bottom vent regularly. Both with and without a fan controller. I did some searing and pizza making on very high temps (getting of the scale of the provided temp gauge) and also than it works well, even if you use the diffuser plate to create a very hot pizza oven. Very good build quality, insulation and a strong solution for indirect grilling with the diffuser plate. I do have the Weber Summit Charcoal Grill Center (with the full side table) which make life at the grill so much easier as you have a great working space and you can store the various accessories really well (e.g. the diffuser plate). The side table can get really dirty during some cooks but since it is stainless steel it is so easy to clean up. Small points of critique for those considering this grill. The wheels on grill should not be plastic and should all rotate, imho this does not suit a €2000+ grill. I did manage to break the basic GBS Grill insert after a few week but within a week I got supplied with a completely new grill grate by Webber (top service). Also the gas ignition system runs less smooth after many uses as it collects ash and dirt causing an increase in the time you need to get a proper ignition. I am back into using a Looftlighter as it is easy to light only a few coals to setup for low and slow. Overall very happy with this grill and its superb performance. Hope this adds some insights to your review!

[@PITMASTERX]

+js78js wow awesome... thanks for the valuable addition

[@BabyBackManiac]

Awesome. I've been looking forward to this one because I'm very interested in your opinion on this for obvious reasons. I don't know if you saw it or not, but I did an efficiency test video where I put 3 chimneys of charcoal and just let it run at 225 till it ran out. It went for DAYS! It's super efficient. I am amazed you were able to get 15 racks of spare ribs in there. I was only about to get 12 racks of baby backs in mine. Are spare ribs cut differently over there? LOL. Leg sockets = "Weber heritage" (You are much more diplomatic than me, buddy!) Congratulations on the new cooker, man. You are going to love it! Great job.

[@js78js]

Dutch ribs are indeed a different cut and are prepare slightly different if you would choose for e.g. 3-2-1 method as it will become 2-2-1 ;)

[@BabyBackManiac]

Ah! makes sense, thanks!

[@PITMASTERX]

+Baby Back Maniac Thanks Justin... I loved your videos on the weber summit. It is super efficient. Maybe I have special powers that allow me to add 15 😂😆 hahahah baby backs are about the same. We call them spareribs

[@BabyBackManiac]

I can't wait to see what you do next with it. I love your videos. You're like my (wait for it) "brother from a Nether mother." That's probably been done before but I've been sitting on it for a while. lol. Have a great weekend.

[@js78js]

Sorry I meant 3-1-1

[@garywagstaff7142]

Nice video. And I gotta say... I love my Weber Summit Charcoal Grill Center. Awesome charcoal grill! So far it has handled EVERYTHING I've thrown at it...low & slow, hot & fast, baking, pizza...you name it. Versatility is killer. And just for reference, I own & use five other outdoor cookers...not including dedicated fryers.

[@SooperFlye]

Btw, Pitmaster X, this is one of the best demo for this grill, even better than Weber's demo.

[@ELEVOPR]

I sold my house to buy this grill. The Bank turned me down a few times, but after I got my raise at work, it was more affordable. I got a 30 year 2% Fixed Rate loan. True Story Dude..

That's a cheap house you had then.

[@chrisjones1864]

You must have your brains in your feet

[@universaldonor3100]

Next a reverse mortgage for the cart

[@gmshowtruck]

Super gaaf en mooi apparaat Roel. Alleen je hebt het niet over de prijs gehad.... denk dat een heleboel mensen dat ervan weerhoud om deze aan te schaffen.

[@krehbein]

For those comparing this to the Kamodo Joe (I have the II), I see the Summit having the following advantages; - Lighter, easier to move around - The Summit has a better lower/upper section for charcoal. With the Joe you lower the grilling grate itself, which makes it a little harder to use in the lower level. - Looks like the summit comes with the stainless heat diffuser (?) with sides that open up to add more wood chunks, with the Joe you have to move a ceramic half circle to do so. - The Summit doesn't have ceramic parts so it wont crack or break. - It has a built in gas starter. Biggest bennefits of the Joe I see are the built in side shelves, and the theory that the ceramic will retain heat better. But a lot of reviewers seems to say the the Summit retains heat fine, even in the winter. You can get a Joe II for

[@RammRauder]

Pitmaster X. Winnaars gefeliciteerd.

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Good review and a big thumbs up.

[@PITMASTERX]

Thanks !

[@semco72057]

I have the basic Weber grill at home and love it. The one thing I love is that it does keep the coals working for a long time, and the meat cooks greatly. The price was right also and I love that.

[@royv9019]

19 secondes in and I already found the information I need. You are the boss!

[@goirish560]

Great review. I would have owned one of these this year but came across a crazy deal on a Weber Performer. What sold me on the Summit over a ceramic was not just keeping the heat but if you went got too hot you could cool down the Summit a lot faster.

[@PITMASTERX]

+goirish560 That is right

[@surfingonmars8979]

How do you feel bout it five years later?

[@rembtz83]

atm you are the best bbq/grill channel on yt. But you should have named this video "Presentation of the Weber Summit Charcoral" not a review imho. It was obvious that it was a video with a product placement, and thats totally ok. But of a review i expect that even little flaws are mentioned. For example that the gas ignition could not be evereyones style, the reflectorplate material, the isolation and so on. I am not saying that the Grill is not good, i think it is a really good grill, but for a review i missed some critique. Nethertheless, keep the good stuff coming!

[@PITMASTERX]

+Rantan Plan Thanks bro! Your right 👍

[@rembtz83]

Thanks for the reply! Keep the good stuff up! :)

[@PITMASTERX]

I sure will!

[@nancyvanurk]

Hopelijk een lucky girl😁 Ja ook vrouwen zijn dol op jou BBQ filmpjes en na deze revieuw toch serieus gaan nadenken om deze weber aan te schaffen ipv master touch!

[@PITMASTERX]

Gaaf Nancy.. altijd leuk om vrouwelijke kijkers te hebben!

[@gboyce975]

Just bought mine, graduated from BGE. I've gone full circle back to Weber after 9 years of owning the Egg.

[@PITMASTERX]

+Gabriel Boyce Cool... it's is definitely a nice barbecue

[@stevehuk902]

This is my dream grill! However i have bought cars for less money haha. It may not be nearly as efficient but my webber 26.75 will do the trick for now.

[@mjaartje]

Hoi, ik heb de deluxe weber 57! Dus met grote tafel etc en natuurlijk de ontsteking...ideaal....geen "schoorsteen" nodig of wat dan ook! Ik heb hem al 5jr.....

[@WillieKlondike9482]

Good review. Very detailed. I’ll buy one of these based Baby Back Maniacs and your video reviews!

[@peterschockaert9475]

Great review. I was thinking of buying this bbq. Now I'm even more convinced to buy it. Thank you, Pitmaster. Groetjes uit België.

[@trevorbraden5448]

Would you pick this over the weber smokey mountain

[@08yankeefan]

Haven't seen this grill get used a while on the channel!

[@107cadman107cw]

Can the fire be snuffed out like a kamado so you can re-use the coals again?

[@MrAirtaz]

You would do it the same as every other Weber charcoal grill, close the vents.

[@4000marcdman]

Was that Xibit playing in the intro??

[@danwhite8856]

How well insulated is grill oven get hot on the outside

[@czwest7845]

I didn't see any smoke ring did i miss something ?

[@staffbull]

There wasn’t a smoke ring visible on the video.

[@kevinhurt7119]

Do you still own this grill? I don't think I've ever seen any other cooks on this. Lots on the Kamado Joe but not this.

[@Beeldvullen1979]

Weber. Sind een weekje eigenaar van de Summit. Geweldig ding! Morgen je recept met varkenswangentjes proberen 👍🏻

[@Lmedrano88]

Where was the smoke ring on the ribs? From the video you showed, there was no smoke ring at all.

[@PITMASTERX]

The vidoe didn't show it much, but there was definitely a good smoke ring

[@djkentastic9049]

Weber! Die thermometer zou prima bij mijn Weber smokey mountain passen🤗. Ga door met deze toffe video's!

[@PITMASTERX]

+Dj kentastic Dank je ... ga ik doen 👍

[@peterb977]

Weber. De eerste barbecue van Weber waarbij ik serieus overweeg om hem te kopen, met deze barbecue onderscheiden ze zich echt van de rest.

[@PITMASTERX]

+Peter B Tof ding he Peter

[@peterb977]

Zeker. Ik kon echter vandaag goedkoop een smoker op de kop tikken waar ik al een tijd mijn oog op had. Ik vrees daarom dat het niet goed is voor mijn relatie als ik deze er binnenkort ook nog naast zet 😁

[@MargusPalu]

Nice Weber. I have the 57cm Master-Touch GBS kettle, but this looks like a different kind of beast.

[@PITMASTERX]

+Margus Palu It is a real Awesome smoker

[@emiliogarcin2266]

Do you prefer this cooker or the kamado joe?

[@phi8guy]

Any one knows how many inches is the summit grill & is it available in different sizes like the other weber kettles or its only one size available ?

[@cmandaro]

Ive seen it in my local Weber store, It does carry a high price, but compared to others, i really like it better,looks like it will last a long time,

[@WeberEnthusiast]

Great Review , just looking at getting the summit charcoal

[@007linders]

Hey Roel, Zou je mij kunnen uitleggen waarom je bij de weber summit(en andere kamado's) geen bak met water erin zet en juist wel bij de weber/napoleon kettle? als ik het goed begrijp is dat het nodig is voor de vochtbalans in je ketel/temperatuurbeheersing. en is het dan overbodig voor een kamado style alvast bedankt

[@PsychopathicBob1]

Have you heard of the Weber cold smoking device?

[@benjaminmssm]

Nothing about the intro track being a copy of X from Xzibit ?

[@sjengzwakhalen848]

Mooi demonstratie en goed uitgelegd en jammer dat de Performer nog nieuw is anders was dat mijn nieuwe bbq.

[@PITMASTERX]

+Sjeng Zwakhalen Dank je

[@dennissnip9039]

Weber Amazing grill. Oriënteer me op dit moment nog richting keramisch, maar dit brengt me aan het twijfelen...!

[@PITMASTERX]

+Dennis Snip zet ze naast elkaar in de winkel Dennis. Dan kom je er achter welke goed werkt voor jouw

[@12xxddr]

Would you choose a Weber Summit Charcoal over a Kamado Joe? If not, why? Appreciate your thoughts, thank you :)

[@Puckelaris]

Bedankt voor al die prima video's! Lekkere recepten! Gr. Arjan

[@PITMASTERX]

+Arjan van Herwaarden Dank je Arjan 👍

[@murtaghonthemove6780]

Love you videos and love the Weber summit. Just done an unboxing and build video. not up to your standard

[@NordicAdvRider]

That was a really good review, but I'm curious which one of the Weber or Kamado big Joe you would choose and why? In Sweden both are prized the same around 1800€

[@PITMASTERX]

Good question.. between these grills it is all about preference. Best thing is to put them together in a showroom en get a feeling for both. Either way you choose you can't go wrong.

[@aaronkim1074]

I saw no smoke ring.

[@bpeters1981]

Oooh a review at last, ever since i've used it once within the Weber Grill academy, i was intrigued ! Tnx for the nice review, doing a great job neighbour :-). But, although it's much more stable than the new kettle you reviewed last time, this one is really way too expensive. Rather spend it on a Weber genesis ii lx gas grill.. Think we could talk a long time on this topic, off course over a Belgian beer ;-)

[@joecummings9662]

Sorry don’t see smoke ring?

[@wlk9658]

Beautiful Weber...but the charcoal...damn!!

[@olymagofna4937]

I am new to Germany does anyone know where I get a good bbq grill or online that delivers?

[@nathanruben3372]

Isn't there charcoal baskets...

[@realamerican4019]

Nice commercial would you buy it ?

[@craigmilky8430]

Love my Weber performer but I want one of these bad boys

[@Xeromorphic]

Hee Roel, toffe video! Thanks! Ik twijfel al een tijdje tussen een BBQ als deze en een Kamado Joe. Wat ik een beetje mis in je video is een vergelijking tussen deze BBQ en die types, vooral om hij qua prijs ook aardig in die buurt ligt. Zou je hier nog iets over kunnen zeggen of er een video over maken?

[@PITMASTERX]

+Xeromorphic Dank Je 👍👍👍je hebt in ieder geval goede smaak. Technisch gezien kun je met beide barbecues geen miskoop doen en zijn ze allebei hun geld meer dan waard. Mijn advies is om naar een winkel te gaan en daar de weber summit en kamadojoe naast elkaar te zetten. Dit geeft je echt een goed idee van de verschillen.

[@TexasRanchu]

Cheers and happy new years

[@SizzleBrothers]

Nice Review Roel 😍

[@vctr87]

what smoke ring?

[@js78js]

Hi Pitmaster X, since you both have the JoeTisserie and the Weber Summit now can you please validate if the JoeTisserie can fit on the Weber and works? Thanks in advance for your help in this one!

[@PITMASTERX]

+js78js he bro... you can't mix those 2 they are metal on metal. They will damage the grill

[@jensvlogs6339]

van gas (nu) naar kolen/houtskool op een WEBER Summit? zou het, mag het?

[@PITMASTERX]

+ankie Zwartsluis Alles mag 👍🔥 Las het eten maar lekker smaakt

[@MangoMike316]

Did you have a good time eating all the ribs? Great review!

[@vicsstang89]

Damn I was expecting this was under $1000 since its not ceramic. Still not bad but out of my price range.

[@jamesm.8392]

$2,200 if you want the one with the small connected side table. Then you will be looking for expensive accessories from 3rd party sellers that Weber does not make for their own grill

[@bensmith7536]

Around $3000 australian dollars for this, without the gas lighting system.

[@cho1427]

Great video of the Weber Summit Charcoal!! I have one myself and have already done some great meals on it ♨️♨️ it would be great to have the iGrill 2 to complete it 😝🤞🤞🤞

[@PITMASTERX]

+Christophe Houssoy yes for sure

[@Banpunv]

Is the kid supposed to be really stiff to open and close when first put together?

[@FilipvandeKerkhof]

Leuke video van deze Weber. Maar ik kan moeilijk afscheid nemen van mijn trouwe 'ouwe' Weber

[@PITMASTERX]

+Filip van de Kerkhof Dank je Filip.. kan ik me ook ook voorstellen

[@DCLEMMS1]

I forgot . How much do I get paid if I post " Weber " ?

[@njbaquatics4827]

I think it’s A beautiful bit of kit but I can’t justify The price I think Webber Are being a little bit greedy on this one

[@marcopeters1633]

Nice video series, gets me even more enthousiastic

[@PITMASTERX]

+Marco Peters Awesome

[@andrew3p1]

great video. i love this channel, keep up the great content!

[@SmokedReb]

Looks awesome! I would take one if they are asking ;)

[@PITMASTERX]

+Smoked Reb BBQ hahah of coarse

[@drolon84]

First off great video! I'm looking for a new grill and I'm stuck between the big Joe and the summit. What would you choose if you can only have one?

[@oldlincolnpipewelder]

Just remember a ceramic grill will be a pain to move unlike the summit shown here. Just do plenty of research before doing any knee jerk impulse buys like I tend to do sometimes. I built a table for 26” Webber and I still feel like it was an overall better value than anything Weber would give you for a base model charcoal grill with a table attached to it. Good luck!

[@jamesm.8392]

Yeah $2,200+ instead of $1,250+@@oldlincolnpipewelder

[@markje163]

Weber ! Mocht ik niet winnen mag een stukje sparerib van die Weber ook wel als troostprijs ;-)

[@PITMASTERX]

+markje163 hahaha This link 😅

[@ravkesef]

Thanks for a first rate presentation

[@beaudobson8056]

Great BBQ but the charcoal in the video looks awful. It was still smoking after 30mins so no idea what additives Webber must use on it.

[@Helaholakinderkola]

Weber. Stuur mij dat ding joh! Doe die kettle erbij hehe

[@michaellmikeyymike]

I'm flat out jealous Roel, I want that grill. please do many videos on it :)

[@PITMASTERX]

+michael landry Its an awesome grill. It is already gone again. But I promise it will be back

[@travellingcrow2979]

+Gert-Jan de Vries hahaha dat komt gauw genoeg als hij in de achtertuin staat

[@zigwil153]

If I had the money I'd have one of every products Weber makes.... no offense to the gas side, but charcoal only for me. I have a 22" kettle w/ cart, a 26" kettle, an 18" SMS, a 22" SMS, and, of course, a Smokey Joe.

[@orvillecarlfoster6466]

I don't have a Weber but that looks pretty good I have another type of grill and it doesn't look as fantastic cuz you showing this one here I might be very interested in purchasing one like that I guess I have to go around and look I live in Honolulu love to watch your video thank you very much have a great day God bless you and your family and all of your friends and all of your followers to have a wonderful day amen

[@PITMASTERX]

+Orvillecarl Foster Thanks Orvil O wish te same for you and yours 👍🔥🤘

[@royhochstenbach8642]

Nice work Roel!!! Great Weber product!

[@andrewastuart]

Hey Roel, any reason why you used lumpwood over briquettes? Any sense which would be better?

[@PITMASTERX]

Hi Andrew! The less additives the better in my opinion. Besides that is the big advantage of a grill like this. It runs really long on charcoal already.

[@andrewastuart]

I agree with you on the purity of the lumpwood. On the new model Smokey Joes, Weber has introduced a high quality coal grate with much narrower gaps to suit lumpwood not falling through to the bottom. Maybe they should consider the same for the Summit, as an option at least?

[@tawar001]

Weber the best there is. Goede film, duidelijke uitleg
