    direct bbq on summit kamado

    that's pretty much what i've been doing, and enjoying best performance with the summit. I'm wondering if there would be much of difference between this method, say about 225/250f lid temps with grate about 10" above coal bed vs something like a drum or chud/hasty bake roughneck where grates are...

    EU based so not all of the americano options are available. Dog safety is a consideration. I've narrowed the field to Weber ex4, Louisiana lg800fl, Weber summit E6. Open to verticals too such as MB or PB but quality issues have me hesitant. Summit bc it supposedly holds temps very well and once...
