"A Weber like never before."

[The Hot Pepper]

I always have had CI grates and I need a new grill, not going big, don't want to smoke really this summer... thinking going small, the Smokey Joe, with CI grates that cost more than the grill ($45) lol... I just want to cook some fast meals like fish etc...

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

That grate system is appealing ... I think Ashen might rock some of those, if I recall ...

Might need to get them, wife will probably throat punch me until I cook on them once then never again worry about a Weber purchase.

I've only owned 2 grills in the past 10-15 years. It's not a grill quality issue so much as a care issue. I don't cover them or clean the shit off the heat sheilds. I just bake it off and leave them out in the elements all year.

With Charcoal?
 
Maybe look into a Charcoal Microwave. I hear they are 7X faster than just a charcoal grill.

New Weber Summit grill
 
Not sure I am overly impressed.
Looks like they may have stole some of the Stok grill ideas

Air-insulated double-wall == not that cool.

That's def not a grill of a lifetime for anyone who's serious ...

That's like a behemoth V8, and it's an automatic ... lol.

I am opening a GoFundMe  for the boss to get his kitchen installed.  Stay tuned.  Bonus:  video of him giving me a massage with every $50 donation.

If I had money to just piss away I would grab one just for fun. 
 
Cheers

I bet meatheat got one for free, man I need to pull a Booma and just BBQ all the time

If it had CI grates I'd buy it just to say I did then return it

I'd consider replacing the Akorn with it years down the line, but I'm hopeful that I'll be replacing that w/ a ceramic when that time comes ...
 
I imagine it's a decent grill, but it falls FAR SHORT of running a hype campaign for it in my opinion ...

I bet this thing cooks a pizza like a mofo if you can get the bottom stone dialed in

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

What I did not notice, is there a propane connection? I was trying to figure out the gas igniter and have not read anything just watched the video  

 

[jacobp]

They're insane with that price point. That's a $600 cooker, max

Gas assist ignition, just like the performer

It's the Akorn without the insulation ... the Akorn has asbetos/fiberglass like packing in the space between the inner and outer shells ...
 
I'm a Weber fan, but this is not exciting ...
 
I mostly don't mind the grill, and do mind the let-down from the crazy hold-the-line style hype campaign - FOR THAT ...
Haha ... just saw the FireCraft price of like $1550 too ... hael no!

I agree. I like the inside of the lid- looks like it would act like a baking steel and radiate the heat down well for a good cook on top of pie. If this was $600 like mentioned above I would have one sitting next to all my other webers.

I'm guessing those little coleman bottles

 

[grantmichaels]

To even justify $600-700, it would have to have a proven track-record of cooking well and being durable ... no doubt, it probably well, but it hasn't yet ...
 
I mean, you can have a Yoder for a bit more: http://www.yodersmokers.com/cheyenne.html
 
I'll take that Yoder ...

Yes charcoal. It can cook food fast has been doing so since... fire.

That's sweet but I would like to see you cook a pizza on that^^  I'm only talking pizza. Anything else I can do on my standard weber's with no worries. Same with the egg, I would only purchase for pizza. But that's just me. i'm still on a mission to make a pic1 pie
