Kamado Joe Classic I or Weber Summit Kamado E6?

What actually differs between the Kamado Joe Classic I and the Weber Summit Kamado E6, and what that means for how you cook.

What differs

  • The Classic I is €410.00 cheaper.
  • This is the decision that matters: the Classic I is a large, the Summit Kamado E6 an XL. Buy the size you will use, not the size that impresses.
  • The Classic I is ceramic and the Summit Kamado E6 insulated steel. Ceramic holds a low temperature steady for hours; steel gets there faster but reacts to every gust of wind.
  • Both supplied complete with a stand.
  • The Summit Kamado E6’s grate is 15,3 centimetres larger in diameter.
