Weber summit charcoal grill

[THoey1963]

I love my WSCG. Review from a couple years ago in my signature. It's my daily use grill / smoker and I only use my cabinet if I am cooking more than will fit on it. There is a guy on the WSCG Facebook page that made slight modifications to the Big Joe Large Joetisserie that made it fit and work with the WSCG. I bought one just to make the modifications, and then decided before modifying it that I hadn't needed a rotisserie in the last 10 years, why did I need one now.

i read that, awesome review! i will probably pick up my new summit early next week. i decided to go for it because i literally have not read a bad review on them. i only hear good things, and heard its brings the best of both worlds (ceramic and weber).

Gabby's Grills makes a Santa Maria setup for the Kettles. No idea if it will work with the Summit dome.

The competition is chasing Weber if you ask me. Of the competitors who's been around longer? Weber doesn't need any gimmicks.

I just Googled the Mastertouch I posted above. In Greece, it goes for €371.99, which converts to $420.22.
The cheapest 22" kettle, with no ash catcher, $99.00 everywhere here, goes for €186.99, $211.23 US.

Don't feel too bad about it, while the Weber kettle is considered an entry level/cheap product in North America, it's fairly high end for charcoal here in Europe and the UK and is priced accordingly. I sometimes see you guys posting about buying a Weber Master Touch for $99 on offer, which is around £76. That almost makes me cry. £200 is a good offer here.

Have a look around the online department of my local place: https://www.norwichcamping.co.uk/sho...=0&o=relevance

Sorry to the OP, not trying to hijack your thread. Do you want to use the rotisserie with the lid down? If not could you use a universal rotisserie? Perhaps get a second grill grate and bolt the brackets to it permanently? I can't see an easy route for the Santa Maria though

I would be willing to pay a little more for some of the cool accessories and grills you guys have had.

I'm one of those guys that bought a $99 Mastertouch on clearance that is still in the box. I didn't need it but couldn't pass up the deal. I figure I will save it until I need it.
