Where are all the Summit owners?

@au4stree  I use a basic Flame Boss 100 for my long cooks.

On the fireboss, do you use the adapter?  It looks like a bowl that would fit over the port hole.

I saw this video by Pitmaster X a while back and he has what looks like a FlameBoss fan that he just pokes into the hole directly with no adapter. Fast forward to 10m45s in the video to see it.

Good idea but I am not even going to mess with that. Probably just going to skip using ATC on the summit. No real need. For now, I will just use the CyberQ Cloud as a remote temp monitoring device, Works well for that.

Yes, I've seen that video, from what I can tell, that's a Guru device as I think theyre round. The FB are square if memory serves me.

Be careful drilling and enlarging the nozzle.  The hole size is designed exclusively for the regulator. If you  end up making it slightly too large, it can render the igniter useless. Worst, it will catch fire at the opening by the venturi and you'll not even notice it.

I have had both the FlameBoss 300 device and the BBQ CyberQ Cloud devices in my hands for an extended period of time and numerous cooks. The fan pictured, though not described, looks to be a FlameBoss fan.

I no longer have the FlameBoss or any pics but you are welcome to see my video reviews of both items where you can see the fans.

True - on the Summit. I still like it for a WSM or a Smokey Performer. Even on the Summit, I like it for the remote temp monitoring over wifi so I can leave the premises and keep an eye on the cook with my phone. True, you can do that for ~$180 with a Thermoworks Smoke and the new wifi gateway but even as a straight up thermometer, the CyberQ can log 4 probes and has the fan option. You can also direct connect to the Guru using the wifi hotspot mode to somewhat mimic using the included handheld on the Smoke.

Did a pork butt today, turned out great.  I didnt take good photos of the pork, but did want to share how the coals burned. I always find this interesting, I try to photo my before/after coal photos. Cook time was 8hrs, used hickory and apple chunks. 60%weber briquettes and 40%was KBB. 

I really like the Weber briquettes, they burn long with minimal ash. The grill held 250 mostly, but ran a bit hot later in the cook, sun was beating down this afternoon.

Did you start with the snap jet? How long do you let run?

It cooked for 8 hrs, I did not use the jet, I've been using up some old starter cubes. Put about 10 lit coals in that hole on left side that I started in my chimney.

Hi!
I have heard several mentions of the hinge Weber supplies for customers who experience smoke leaks from the Summit, but I have yet to see any pictures of the stock hinge vs "new" hinge.

Does anyone here have a picture of the "new" hinge? I have a rather substantial leak on my brand new summit, and I'm curious about Webers fix.

Welcome to WKC, Rimala.

Take a picture or two of your issue, describe what you see, and send it to Weber.

The one concern is Baby Back Maniac developed a leak in the SS gasket and Weber's ultimate response was "working as intended."

I can sear off ribeyes at highest heat possible.

What is that in your experience? My KK just fell apart (not kidding, not happy, long story) and I'm seriously contemplating the durability of a steel "kamado." Lots of info on the low end but I'm also interested in how hot it can get (and if Weber has a problem with that!).

I had a standard unit for 2 years and just sold it and got the one with the he table.   I use it all the time and it works great.  I would recommend the table model, makes for a cleaner patio.   I think the summit is much more functional than an egg would be.  I don't have anything bad to say about it
