Questions and Answers for Weber Original Kettle Premium 22 in. Charcoal Grill in Black with Built-In Thermometer

A:  The nuts are 3/8"

A:  screws

A:  We had Home Depot put it together so do not know. Nuts come with it in the box.

A:  Not sure,I just used what came with it. You could contact WEBER.COM. Give them the model number of your unit and pose the question to them.

A:  Hi! The nut for the lid handle is a 1/4 x 20 nut. If you have an issue with your current grill, please reach out to us at reviews@weberstephen.com and we would be happy to help. Thanks!

A:  Weber claims that the kettle is "globally" made. I believe there are still components that are U.S. made...but not all. In my opinion...it shows. That said, it's likely still the best quality for the price.

A:  Hello CW, this 22" Original Kettle Premium was designed and engineered in Palatine, Illinois, and is also assembled in Illinois, using globally sourced components. Thanks!

A:  que?

A:  Although Weber is headquartered in the U.S. and has their primary manufacturing facilities in Palatine and Huntley, Illinois, they can no longer claim to be made in the USA. This is because many of their grills have components that are imported. As for this Original Kettle Charcoal Grill, it is constructed with globally sourced components.

A:  Yes since 1952

A:  I no longer have manual. But exhaust vent lid reads “Designed and Engineered in the USA.

A:  Yes

A:  Hello Nick, please reach out to your local Home Depot store for assembly related information. Thanks.

A:  I installed my own in about 20 minutes. It’s easy and not worth paying someone.

A:  Assembly is very simple with excellent/detailed instructions and a manual. I am sure someone could assemble it at the store nearest where you want it sent. Packing it assembled may mean having to use a 3rd party and would be $$$. Also, due to the way the box comes packed, if you assembled the grill first and shipped it, you are much more likely to incur damage during shipping.

A:  Sorry, I can't help you with this. I picked mine up and assembled it myself. It was very easy to assemble however if you want the store to assemble this and ship it I would suggest that you contact your local store for this information.

A:  There was no charge for shipping. I easily assembled it myself

A:  I bought mine online, so I am not sure. I did put it together myself. I am a senior citizen, female, not great mechanical skills, just a simple toolbox and I had no difficulty putting it together.

A:  I don't think they will, but if you are able to cook on it, you will be able to assemble it. Very easy to get together.

A:  Yes the Home Depot will assemble the grill.

A:  Probably for a price...I did it myself and it wasn't too bad...and I am not a mechanic by any means!

A:  Hello, please reach out to your local Home Depot for assembly and delivery related information. Thanks!

A:  Hi Richard! The Original Kettle Premium is assembled in the US using globally sourced components. Thanks!

A:  Weber grills are made in the USA ! Illinois I believe!

A:  Weber is still one the few American companies that actually make their products in the USA. So to answer your question, yes Weber grills (including the 22 inch premium kettle) are made in the good ole’ USA. :)

A:  This product is assembled in the USA with parts made from other sources.

A:  Weber Grills are made in Paletine, Il. USA

A:  I would suggest starting from beginning and work slowly ( what I would do) I know that assembly was tricky and I did have to restart once after I began. Other than that if it doesn’t fit return it

A:  Hi! We are sorry to hear about the trouble assembling your new grill! Please reach out to us at reviews@weberstephen.com and we would be happy to help. Thanks!

A:  Sure, no problem. Contact Weber. They will make it right.

A:  Call Weber, they are very helpful!

A:  The legs have very little tolerance but work by sliding all three at once. When I did that, I didn't have any problem putting mine together. Yours may be bent a little. Try placing the bottom section upside down on a flat floor. If there is any gap between the floor and the bottom section, I'd take it back. Mine went together pretty well and has been a great grill.

A:  It is not heavy at all. She should have no trouble picking it up.

A:  The grill comes in a large box that fits in the Home Depot shopping cart so you can take it to your car easily. If your wife needs help getting the box in the car, I'm pretty sure one of the Home Depot employees can help her.

A:  Hi John! The box weighs 37.3 lbs. Thanks!

A:  I am a 64 year old woman. I carried it into the house from front porch.

A:  I honestly don't recall, but more large than heavy - employee should be able to help?

A:  about the same as 2 laundry baskets so she should be fine.

A:  Not super heavy, and not super bulky. I don't know the exact weight offhand, but if I had to take a guess, 20 lbs or less. It wasn't super heavy. And, I'm sure that someone could help load this into the car. I have a VW Golf, and it fit into my trunk (seats folded down) without a challenge. Assembly took maybe 20 minutes. If my wife told me that I could only own one grill, this would be it.

A:  It's a easy assembly.. so anyone can do this..

A:  Yes it is. Check with your local store to find out if there is a fee for this.

A:  This is great I love Weber charcoal grills. I use rotisserie to make roasted chicken.

A:  I believe the answer is yes...for a fee I think. But please check with Home Depot. Given my experience with this new kettle (even though it's my 5th one), I would recommend having it assembled. Mine would not assemble as described.

A:  Hi Jacquie! Thanks for your question. Please reach out to The Home Depot for assembly information. Thanks!

A:  Hi! Our Original Kettle Premium does include a hinged cooking grate with the grill. Thanks!

A:  Yes, the grill has two flip up edges to allow access to the coals from either side.

A:  Yes, hinged on the side third of the grate on both sides.

A:  Yes it does. A needed feature if you are using the Weber fuel holders for indirect cooking.

A:  Gunsmoke, Yes the cooking grill has two hinged sections on each end for tending to adding coals when grilling with indirect heating. I like mine and the thermometer in the lid is real nice.

A:  yes

A:  That measurement is to the top of the lid handle.

A:  Hi Sequoia! The Original Kettle Premium measures 29" from the ground to the lip of the bowl with the lid off. Thanks!

A:  Yes
