Has anyhone heard a rumor....

[eddiecalder]

My "source" (someone on another forum) said that the grill was absolutely beautiful and he would have bought it on the spot if it was for sale. This is from someone that owns a Komodo Kamado, so it must be pretty nice. He said.the description does not do it justice.

I can't wait until April 6th to see what I am buying at a garage sale in 2026+

I was under the impression that this thing would be available for purchase starting on April 6. However; I have read in various places that we are only getting a "sneak peek" on April 6 and that the actual product won't be available for purchase until long after that? Can anyone confirm this? Sounds like if you want to buy one of these things, you will have to wait several more months?

It would be pretty foolish to hype this grill up this much and not have it in stores for memorial day. 3 more days til we find out!

For all of the Mid Atlantic people, it will be available at the Grill Center at 2808 Solomons Island Road, Edgewater, MD on the 6th and they will have cooking demos on Saturday the 9th starting at 10 AM.

How to find other demonstration locations?

The dealer I mentioned is a Weber Alliance Dealer. They are tight lipped about it and will not give any details in fear or losing their Alliance status.

To find one just go to http://dealer.weber.com/ and enter your zip. Alliance dealers will have next to their name.

I just called the Alliance Dealer that is right around the corner in my town and he told me he knows nothing about it.  I offered to come on Wednesday to tape a segment on it for my blog and he is either being tight lipped (but I don't know why he would say he doesn't know the first thing about it) or is really in the dark about it.  I told him to check out the Weber FB page and let me know if he wants me to come in when he gets one to do a feature on it.

Can you reach out to weber directly?

My Weber distributer knows nothing and I got the same answer from the Alliance dealer here in my town , I don't think weber is releasing anything to anyone until April 6th period in order to protect the secret

Right, and they'll probably only release a press packet to the dealers.  I think it's funny how often times enthusiasts know more about a product than the retailers wh sell them.  It's like that in the camera world too.

So, I was at my local dealer today. They basically said it is a kamado style of cooker but did not have much more information than that, other than it's probably double walled steel. At least that's what they told me.

I just came from my local Weber dealer. He is one of only two Weber Alliance dealers in STL. He told me that the grill is called a Charcoal Summit (we knew that already) and he said the price point on it will be $1699.99. He is going to email later this afternoon with more info. He knew nothing about it until I educated him. He checked and said that they ordered 2 from Weber this morning and that it will be on display on their showroom floor next week for all the STL guys that want to see it up close and in person.

I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that this is going to be 4x the cost of their current top of the line model grills (not counting ranch as this isn't nearly the size of the ranch).

At 600-800 I feel like I'd scrape together the dough for this, but at over 1500 I feel like that's a really narrow market. I guess we Will wait and see. If I sold my perfomer, WSM and 26 I could only afford half...
