PM me your phone number. I don't think I have it.
Does that mean it's true?

Thinking it's a bogus Craigslist Ad. The Home Depot lists "Item not sold at this store" for the 18.5 at all Charlotte stores I've checked, and the 22.5 is listed as "ONLINE EXCLUSIVE".
We decided to bite the bullet and got a 4 burner weber summit.
I may have to get this:
Its very similar to yours, but they've added the flip up rotisserie, searing burner and devoted smoking burner. I will say this, I used to make fun of Weber snobs, but after owning one for less than a week, I believe the hype. I havent regretted it once. The only complaint I have is that the thermometer is fogging up. After a few minutes of being lit, it clears right up though.
TAB, I assume the previous models came with a smoking box but just didnt include the devoted burner. Do you just use the bagged hardwood chunks, or have you tried throwing some wood found around the yard in there? I've got tons of hickory and oak that is lying around, and I'm thinking about just chipping it up and using it rather than going out and purchasing additional wood.
Mine didn't come with a smoking box or any other accessories. I may have to look into that. If I smoke, its on the Egg. When I bought mine 3+ years ago, the main features that the more pricey models had were the rotisserie and some sort of infrared burner thing. I couldn't see myself really using those, so didnt pay the extra $500 or whatever it was.
Let me know how well the rotisserie performs though if you use it.
Here a photo of what the inside looks like. The complaints in the reviews I've read were that the box gets too much air and eventually the wood chips light up, so we'll see how that works this weekend. I'm looking forward to it, because I dont have anything small that I can smoke in. (Maybe I'll get a BGE for Christmas) The reverse flow smoker takes too much fuel to do smaller smokes.
For the preorder price of $14, I jumped all over it when I got that email.
Got this in the mail yesterday, and used it for the first time last night. I love the 30" handle, but its a little too tall to fit between the main surface and the warming grate, so I can only clean 3/4 of the grate without removing the upper grate. Not a big deal at all. I might actually take out the warming rack, because I rarely use it.
Pork loin has been on for 30 minutes. I'm able to keep it steady at 250 with just the rotisserie burner(on high) and the smoke burner(on low). Jack Daniels cask chips are in the smoke box and we went with our usual pork rub. So far so good.
