I’ve heard from multiple award winning bbq guys that weber summit kamado is far superior to joe and BGE

BGE was great 15 years ago but is kind of a joke by today’s standards

This.

I’ve heard the same from serious pitmasters. The Weber Summit Kamado is just on another level compared to BGE and Kamado Joe. It heats up faster, holds temp rock solid, and gives you better airflow control than most ceramic grills. Plus, no worries about cracking like with a BGE. Kamado Joe brought some solid innovations a few years ago, but lately they’ve been leaning into gimmicks.

Weber just built a tank that cooks like a dream. Honestly, BGE hasn’t kept up—they were great 15 years ago, but today they feel stuck in the past.
