Weber Kettle Club Forums

So I posted a while back how ACE hardware had the charcoal summits on sale. I couldn't quit thinking about them when I seen them at that price. So all of my side job money went into a WSCG jar. Finally got enough to pull the trigger!!! I couldn't make up my mind between the WSCG or the WSCGC. So I went to look at them AGAIN and they made my decision easy. All they had left was the floor model WSCGC and one WSCGC in the box. So that's what I got, and I'm happy as shit about it. Can't believe I saved that much and spent it on a grill, but again I'm supper happy I did. Can't wait till the rain stops to get her fired up.

Congrats! Once the money's spent and your cook on that thing there won't be any regrets. You're gonna be HAPPY!

That's a huge discount and frankly what they should be priced at. Still pricey but I think they would sell a lot at those prices.

Was this Ace an alliance dealer??

Nope, was just a Westlake Ace Hardware. Only Ace I have seen in town that sells them.

Where is Westlake Ace Hardware?

Awesome!  I am starting a change jar for one.  Hopefully Weber will add some color to the line up and I'll have enough quarters and nickels in a few years.

@ramsfan. I think the ACE at Brentwood x Manchester is a Westlake store.

anybody else see the summits at a local ace and how are they priced? retail or marked down?

NICE!!!
I so want one...

Weber's Mona Lisa, and you own it; congrats my friend!

What a great pickup! Congratulations.

And the Twister drop cloth is a classic.

Congratulations! And it's better to enjoy the good deal you got (while enjoying all the great food you'll be cooking) rather than regretting how you almost got a Summit that time, but didn't.

You are going to like that grill. I have had mine for a year now. The best suggestion I could make to you is put a Weber handle light on the front handle. It is Weber part number 7516. It fits perfectly. I put 2 lights on mine. At the price Weber is asking, it should have been included already I think?

Congrats! They seem like THE ultimate grill.

thanks @mcgolden .. looks like the pricing varies store by store..

maybe time to call around.. a local 50% sale would have me reaching into my wallet

Congrats on the SCG - You're going to love it!

@ramsfan Couldn't agree more... It makes no sense that a light was not included with the SCG. Perfect fit and works great. They should have also included one of the charcoal rakes IMO.

I also added a second tool holder and have one on either side of the center post. This allows you to have dirty cleaning tools and rakes on one side and your cooking utensils on the other.

It definitely should come with a couple lights and then some. Thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely look into getting one.

I still can't wrap my head around how they are selling them for this price. There's not that much markup on them from what I know plus they're supposed to be price protected. Maybe just maybe Weber is going to drop the price

Still to rich for my blood.  $1400. .. you could buy 2 pro formers and have
Money left over to buy 2 snake river briskets!!!

These are so tempting but it's the same size as the 26r pretty much...if my local ACE ever had one and it was on extreme discount maybe. Or once one gets on CL for a solid deal maybe. Has anyone cooked on one of these and a BGE?

I started following Baby Back Maniac on YouTube. I really like the guy and his videos and he has a few on this topic. He has the unboxing of the WSCG as well as some cooks and comparisons between it and the other Kamado cookers.

@cumminfourya Huge congratulations to you on scoring the WSCGC! Which Westlake location did you end up picking it up at? Looking forward to seeing more of this in action.

@kettlebb that is a very informative and fair comparison.  thanks for posting.

Thanks @Craig. Got it from the one on 144th and Center. Can't wait for my first cook. Got some warranty parts I was waiting on and know it's ready for the weekend!!!

One of the things that bugs me about these Summits, or I guess confuses me is the cooking grates.  I don't understand why the 26 comes with a SS grate and these for all this money come with a standard grate.  They are standard grates correct?  And when it's time to replace it do you have to call Weber for one and how much are they going to costs?

It just feels like they should have included all SS hardware and grate on this guy.

Prices are getting to the temping area though.

THAT'S AWESOME!!!!  Congratulations.

I stopped into that Ace today to pick up some grass seed and noticed the tripod Summit display was missing. Someone must have snagged that after you got the BNIB Summit Center model.. Again, congrats and I'm jealous.

Good for you on your purchase!!
I am always surprised to see stores selling Weber grills with discounted pricing posted on this site.  In N California I never see a retailer with a price lower than the standard Weber list price.  A discount on a Summit would motivate me to make the purchase.

I'm not sure if it is true, but I was told this particular Ace was not going to carry the summit charcoal any more. That is why they were selling them at that price till they were gone. I asked further about it and the way I understand it is the store buys them from Weber and can sell them for what they want. I probably understood it wrong but that is how I took it.

I used mine a couple of weeks ago and it was nice to easily light the charcoal, have plenty of room for a beercan chicken and sides, and lock in a temperature with few adjustments.  I plan to experiment more with it this summer.
