im new to my summit to.but i dont think it should be black.means that its not burning cleanly.get a magnetic thermometer and stick it to the top right hand corner.

The glowing is normal. Hasn't hurt mine yet.

Baffle & coals glowing good. Anywhere else= bad.

My flame rails occasionally glow, and so does that retaining pin @ the back of the firebox. Neither glow when running @ a higher air setting, just when turned down to about 10 cm. from lowest setting. :blank:
