Know before you buy
The dual-walled insulation mimics the heat retention of traditional ceramic kamado grills while being significantly more durable and lighter. This design allows the grill to maintain steady temperatures for long smoking sessions while also reaching high heat quickly for searing.
The Snap-Jet system uses a gas burner to ignite your charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal automatically. It eliminates the need for lighter fluid or chimney starters, allowing you to get the fire going with the simple turn of a knob.
Yes, the grill is designed for maximum versatility. You can easily adjust the grate position and airflow vents to transition from low-temperature smoking for brisket or ribs to high-heat searing for steaks.
The Summit Kamado S6 offers a total cooking area of 452 square inches. This is large enough to accommodate a full packer brisket, multiple whole chickens, or enough burgers and hot dogs for a large backyard gathering.
Yes, the grill is built with high-quality stainless steel designed to withstand outdoor elements. While it is durable, we recommend using a grill cover when not in use to keep the exterior clean and protect the finish from harsh weather over time.
The grill comes as a freestanding cart, which includes heavy-duty casters for easier mobility across your patio or deck. While assembly is required, the process is straightforward, though we recommend having a second person assist with lifting the main grill body.
