Ratings & Reviews for Weber Kamado E6 24-in W Black Kettle Charcoal Grill

Bad replacement policy

Returned due to faulty manufacture and no offer of full replacement. Weber offered to manufacture a new part to replace the faulty one sometime in the next month or two, so in order not to miss most of the summer grilling season returned the whole thing and bought something else.

Very good!

Super efficient and easy to control temperature. Does an amazing job smoking.

Unbelievable Performance and Craftsmanship - The W

Forget everything you thought you knew about charcoal grilling - this thing redefines the experience. The build quality is simply outstanding; you can feel the heft and durability in every component. This isn't just a grill; it's an investment that's built to last. But the real magic happens when you start cooking. The dual-wall insulated steel body and Rapidfire lid damper system make temperature control an absolute breeze. I've effortlessly maintained low and slow temperatures for hours, produ...

Looks nice but is not especially good for grilling

It’s a good looking Weber but it’s not as good as a kettle for standard grilling. The top grate is further above the charcoal than a kettle. At least it looks like a Weber.

Once you learn to control the temp it’s great!

Got this at the end of October 2024 and wasn’t able to get it together until toward the end of November. First thing I made was a Texas style turkey breast and it was gone before I had a chance to enjoy a 2nd piece! Even the kids that didn’t like turkey had extra! Next try was ribs and couldn’t quite keep the temps low enough but the ribs turned out ok, good but just not right. A little dive in the google machine and some video watching got me some better temperature control and some much better...

Leaking smoke

Great grill, but leaks smoke around the back of the lid.

Great grill and smoker. Terrible leg design.

Awesome grill/smoker. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the leg assembly. The screw holes never align right. Could definitely be better designed. The grill itself hold heat for a very long time and could get up in very high temp.

Charcoal Grill

Best Charcoal Grill every owned and reason being it hold heat very well and the options for even smoking low and slow and its a real sturdy grill that will last for years.

EXCELLENT, HUGH QUALITY SMOKER

Love the Summit, used many times for smoking brisket, plus beef spare ribs and pork baby back ribs, even turkey breasts. Excellent heat retention and constant temps make long cooks a breeze. Have used one batch of lump charcoal for up to 12 hours of smoking time. Clean-up of ash is very easy, and the grill can be used for high temps as well. I have done great pizzas on the accessory stone insert. The unit is well built and solid, looks like it will last a long time.

Loving it so far

Have used it 1/2 dozen times now, just now starting to understand how to control the temp. Thing gets hot for sure, very hot, the low and slow is different than I am use to but achievable once you figure it out. Doesn’t use much charcoal, very stable to roll around, coming from kettles thats appreciated. Everything we have smoked or grilled has been great so far, honestly no complaints.

Mostly I like it, but a few tweeks wouldn't hurt

I bought this because I prefer Kamado smoking and grilling over my Pellet or offset. I needed to be able to cook larger cooks, like two turkey's. My 18 inch just can't do that. I have done the turkey, ribs, and 1.5 inch cut pork steaks. I am still getting used to the vent setings but was adle to hold temp easily. Accept when opening the lid the vent moves under its own weight, please increase its resistance if Weber is reading this. Last thing I am used to more head space between the charcoal an...
