Came across this a few mins ago. If this is true the new Weber Summit Grill might be worth more than I thought.
But I still got to ask is it worth $1600 + ??

Impressive on the charcoal usage, but not $2000 impressive. Besides I don't see me cooking anything at one time for 22 hours let alone 50 hours.

Weber clearly missed the mark on this one.......
-
I agree on both comments, just wanted to post the usage if anyone was wondering
I showed this cooker to Kimmie and said i thought the Rec-Tec was $$$$ then she said H#LL no if I was thinking about one
-
why not just call it a kamado grill
-
I'll stick with my 18.8 inch weber that cost me & $79.00

Agreed ;)

I like to fire up my grill, have a cold one while it gets ready then cook and eat. Now if I am smoking some ribs I can go for 4-5 hours but that is about my limit. It is like the SV cooking thing, I don't want to start cooking a day or two before I eat. I don't know why anybody needs to keep a charcoal grill going for 50 hours unless they are cooking commercially.

I don't know Ken if you just spent $2,000 on a grill you need to tell your friends something :D ;D ;D ;D
Or if you are on death row......at least your last meal will delay it a little longer

I don't think the goal here is that anyone would ever cook for 50 hours on it, it's to show that it CAN cook 50 hours. My Kegs do the same but I've never cooked anywhere close to that long. I've done 20+ hour cooks many times. When I am done, I close the vents and save the coals for the next cook. That's what makes Kamados, this one included, great!
Would I pay $1.6K or $2K for one? Nopetty nope nope. Nada. Negative.

I 100% agree with this statement.

Anyone that thinks Weber made a mistake with this new product, hasn't tried to purchase one at this time. I was told yesterday that most dealers are sold out and don't have any idea of when they will get any of them in to sell! Some are taking waiting lists for this product.
Heck, with a second mortgage on the house, a fellow could get one....if he didn't mind the wait.
