Top-Quality Grill with no Competitor
I've always wanted one of these and finally had an opportunity to get one for our vacation home. I had forgotten how much better a charcole grill can make food taste. Weber is the grill to get. You could buy cheaper, but the build quality and ease of use is not even close. Pair this with my Genisis gas grill (now 15 years old and still going strong) I have to say I'll never buy anything else.

Great kettle for direct and indirect burns
I only use Weber grills because they last. I tell people I have my name on my grill. I moved up from the small kettle and couldn't be happier! It matches my Genesis 4 burner. Lots of space and my favorite part is the ash trap and bottom vent controls. I always depended on my gas grill and I was scared of charcoal long burns and smoking. But this kettle makes it easy.

Great value and great price
Absolutely love my new kettle grill! Cools down very quickly after use. I cook on it at least 2-3 times a week. Great purchase and highly recommend

Love at first light!
I've been wanting a Webber Kettle grill for some time. My brother always raves about his Webber and he told me, you have to get one! So; for Fathers day I treated myself to the copper colored kettle and have been loving it ever since. This grill is so easy to control and our meals are always awesome! I would recommend this grill to everyone! Cheers!

Back to basics
I have always had Weber grills. From the kettle to Genesis to Genesis II. I decided to get back to the basics of grilling with charcoal so my wife and daughters gave me a new kettle for Father’s Day. It did not disappoint.

Worth it!
This was a great purchase. I have really enjoyed the Premium features such as the temperature gauge and the cleaning mechanism and ash storage compartment. The instructions are clear and thorough and we’ve all enjoyed what I’ve cooked on it so far.

It's the original and still the benchmark
Always providing the best charcoal grills on the market. Was super excited to replace and old/cheap Charcoal grill with this and stepping away from my Pellet Grill and going "back to the basics". It's a great grill, however, my lid was dented pretty heavily on the edge in the box, making it difficult to place on the grill and ruining the finish on that spot. I've straightened it out and it's functional, but disappointing.

Great Grill!
The grill works as it should and I have had no issues. I have Smoked Brisket and Turkey and made Steaks, Burgers and Brats. I gave up my gas grill and smoker to use this and have not been disappointed.

Quality not that great anymore.
Quality not that great anymore. I purchased the kettle premium a couple of weeks ago now. I grilled about three times and on the fourth the paint under the lid flaked off and on to the food. The lid has rust now. Of course we couldn’t eat the food covered with paint.

We appreciate your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about the carbonized grease in your lid. We are here to help. That "peeling paint" is just a build-up of carbonized grease. To clean it off, simply take a brush or ball of aluminum foil and gently scrape the grease off the lid. For more information click here: http://Wbr.gr/paintpeeling. Our Care team is reaching out to follow up. Please look for an outreach from us soon. Thank you!

Great grill overall
Really great grill all around. The hinged sides on the cooking grate come in very handy for adding more coals during indirect cooking and the ash can is very convenient and very easy to use. Clean up is a snap, very satisfied.

No issue..Seems legit.
For the past three BBQ's I haven't faced any concerns. Easy to set up when you first open the box. Easy to dispose of ashes when you're in a pinch. Also less wait time to cool down after cooking.

Another Weber work horse.
This is my 3rd weber in 30 years, So I am happy with the abuse they take over the years. Very happy with the ease of assembly and the quality of the materials.

Very Versatile Grill! Great value
I researched ahead of time because I also wanted to buy a smoker. This little thing does it all. Do yourself a favor and download the Weber app to understand the dampers to set the correct heat. The Kettle maintains its heat consistently. We’ve made burgers and chicken. We smoked a Boston Butt (5 hour smoke, 7.5 hour total cook), a salmon and beer can chicken!

Cannot Go Wrong With a Weber Kettle!
I absolutely love this thing! The classic designs works extremely well. This bad boy does everything. It gets as hot as you will ever need, and works great for low and slow. The built-in thermometer is a great accessory too. I have used other charcoal grills owned by friends and family, but this one is far superior. Some of those cheaper grills don't have enough vertical space or will have paint bubble if your hot charcoal gets too close to the side. I've been using a pellet grill for the past decade and got a little bored and wanted to go the charcoal route. I also hated vacuuming that thing all the time too. Getting this Weber Kettle has renewed my love for grilling and I use it as often as I possibly can. This was the best purchase I've made in a long time!

It's a nice little grill when you have time. Not something good to use for tailgating or traveling with.

Best yet!
I’ve been a charcoal and wood burning Weber user for over 20 years. This unit is by far the best I’ve had. Thoughtful user features such as being able to hang the cooking rack on the rim, the app with two temperature prongs and the ambient temperature gauge on the hood add to the enjoyment and craft of cooking with wood and charcoal. Oh! And the ash collector is a huge advance over the tray in earlier models. No more stepping on hot coals in my bare feet!😄. I look forward to using the charcoal bins for indirect cooking, too.

Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill 22"
I had my first 22" black Weber grill for 43 years. Replaced parts as needed. The fins wore out again due to rust. So, I bought a new 22" black Weber grill again. The snap clips did not align for connecting the legs to the kettle. I had to use self-tapping screws from the back side of the legs. The clips are cheap junk and I was expecting better quality from Weber.

Great flavor and even cooking made this meal great
I used my new Weber yesterday to smoke a 12 pound turkey. The results were fantastic. The skin was nicely and evenly coated with a wonderful flavor throughout the meat.
