BGE vs Weber Summit Charcoal Grill

[Pstores]

I don't know what to cook. Thinking burgers and pork loin?
I'm at a loss.
Maybe I should just cancel the order :caked:

Hell know you ordered a great cooker. You'll be damn happy once you run it a couple times. It'll last forever and you'll cook on it more than you'd ever cooked on a grill before.

Hold on a minute dude... Have you lost yo' mind?!? :twitch:

Start with burgers and hot dogs, it's American and your in America, then go from there. IMHO, you have purchased the greatest cooker to hit the market, it won't crack, nothing to remove or add to do a reverse sear, it'll smoke a brisket and nuke a pizza!

I sold my BGE XL due to what I feel are its limitations. You purchased the correct one. And you'll have no issues cooking on it. I went through the same issues when I bought my first high end cooker. I never ever regretted it. If you like food. This thing will become an obsession. You bought the right one.

I sold it a week ago, and looking at the summit. But for now trying to place an order with Shirley Fabrication.

 

[Crotonmark]

Hey guys. Think I can cook two large chickens at once on this thing ?

Four chickens should fit.

Dang. So this is a pretty cool toy?

 

[Dmakkk]

Go buy it and get it rocking......

Easily fits four chickens, maybe five. Then if you add the exteneder grate, who knows, maybe seven.

ha ha - thanks
I bought the extender grill and I bought the pizza stone!!

I wonder if there is more room in the dome in the weber than in the egg. I was told that the XL egg couldn't do a big turkey because there was no room in the dome. Hopefully not an issue with the Weber

 

[Crotonmark]

OK the Weber has arrived
I am going to do burgers and sausage tonight as a 1st cook
Two beer can chickens tomorrow - tho I hope there is enough room between the lid and the grate to do it!!

The black base came scratched up - major bummer - the seller store is promising to replace - let's see!

I wouldn't have expected Webber to use aluminum in the grill (just the ash basket) but someone said it was aluminum. There is no way it will melt if it is stainless steel without some serious effort beyond just being stupid.

The inside of the dome is spun aluminum... (per Weber)

Problem ??

 

[4ever3]

No Sir, not for me, but there was a question about it a couple pages back and I had it confirmed by Weber today that it is in fact spun aluminum. I was just passing along the information.

Not unless you get temps above the rim in the 1200* F territory.
