The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across the reviewers we read, the Weber Summit Kamado E6 is positioned as a steel alternative to heavy ceramic kamados that does both high-heat searing and long smokes. High-trust amazingribs.com describes it as a big, double-walled, air-insulated steel kamado, and high-trust r/BBQ commentary highlights its two biggest selling points: it is among the cheapest 24-inch kamados on the market and it doesn't weigh 400 pounds like a comparable ceramic. r/webergrills owners report locking in a temperature and running 8-10 hours rock-solid, with several calling it the best grill of any kind they have owned.
What reviewers liked
- amazingribs.com and r/BBQ note it's among the cheapest 24-inch kamados and far lighter than ceramic
- Insulated steel design delivers high-heat searing plus 8-10 hour stable smokes
- Multiple r/webergrills owners call it the best grill they've owned
- 4.5-star average corroborates the strong community sentiment
Where it falls short
- Very expensive, reportedly $1,100-$1,900 depending on configuration
- One detailed r/webergrills review says it should include a rake and elevated grate
- Smaller Amazon review base (154) than the kettle options
- Large and heavy to move despite being lighter than ceramic

The criticisms are mostly about value-add rather than performance. One r/webergrills review scored cooking a perfect 10/10 but rated features and accessories a 6/10, noting it should ship with a rake and an elevated cooking grate at the price. Pricing itself is the recurring sticking point, with one source noting it lands in the $1,100-$1,900 range depending on configuration.
The synthesis: reviewers consider it an exceptional all-rounder that sears hot and smokes long with less weight and lower cost than ceramic competitors, but they want more included accessories for the money, and the modest 154-review Amazon sample is smaller than the kettle picks.
- Dual-walled insulation for precise, quick temperature changes
- Steel construction and porcelain-enameled finish for durability
- RapidFire lid damper boosts air flow to quickly reach high heat
- One-Touch cleaning system for hassle-free clean up
- Adjustable grate for low and slow smoking or high-heat searing
- Gourmet BBQ System ready, cookware sold separately
- Extra-large 24" cooking area feeds a crowd and offers room for a two-zone setup
- Diffuser plate helps maintain consistent low temperature for smoking
Primarily the price, by far the cheapest 24" kamado on the market. Second is the convenience of a grill that doesn't weigh 400 lbs.
It's the best grill I've had. No reason to have a fan with it. Once you get the temp locked in it is rock solid and can run 8-10 hours with very ...
