Review: First time griller success! - First off, I have to tell you that this is the first grill I have ever used. As a single woman, I was never interested in grilling until I bought a house two years ago and built a deck in the backyard. With all that outdoor space to enjoy, I just knew I needed a grill for entertaining (and feeding) family and friends. I thought I might buy a grill and just let my dad or brother handle the grilling, but much to my surprise I really got into it and loved grilling hamburgers and hot dogs on this Weber kettle grill for my first backyard party just yesterday! I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this grill from desertcart. I chose a charcoal grill over propane because I didn't want to deal with propane tanks (a friend had his grill go up in flames because of a loose hose and nearly burned his house down--No thank you!), I like the taste and smell from charcoal grills more, and most importantly because of the cost. It was less expensive to get a nice charcoal grill like this one than to get an equally nice propane grill. The entry cost into grilling was more reasonable with a charcoal grill. This freed up funds to get some important accessories, which I recommend to anyone buying this grill: a chimney starter, grilling tools like tongs, fork, etc, a steel brush to clean the grates, the Weber Fire starter cubes, and some heavy duty mitts to protect your hands and forearms while grilling. I purchased all these from desertcart at the same time I purchased the grill. As for choosing a which charcoal grill to get, I chose this model over the lesser expensive model because of the ash catcher, and I'm glad I did. The grill arrived in its original box and was easy to put together on my own, with the exception of attaching the ash catcher itself. But I just kept trying (and referring to the picture-only instructions) and eventually got it. It was put together in about 40 minutes, and that was putting it together myself. One of the best things I did was lookup videos online about this grill to see how it was used and put together. I learned about closing the vents on the lid and on the bottom to reduce heat, and how to quickly get the charcoal ready for grilling by using a chimney starter and Weber Fire Starter cubes (which I highly recommend getting). As my brother and dad arrived to my house yesterday for our Memorial Day BBQ, each were skeptical about this charcoal grill because they have propane grills at home and like the convenience of them. "It will take an hour to get to coals ready," said my brother. "Those burgers are way too thick to cook through. They'll be raw in the middle," said my dad. Both were surprised when the charcoal was ready within about 20 minutes using the chimney! And after getting some nice grill marks on both sides of the burgers, I put the lid on and closed the vents to let them finish cooking the middle of the burgers in a lower heat. The burgers turned out perfectly! The best compliment was Dad and others asking me how I grilled these thick burgers so well without burning them to dust. LOL! It's all in the vents! And I think investing in an awesome grill helped, too. My brother and dad both were asking about the grill by the end of the party. I think they might be considering trading in their propane grills for their own Weber kettle grills soon. ;) Lastly, just a bit of advice to any amateur grill masters like myself out there... Do yourself a favor and start out with this grill. All of the excellent reviews tell you that it's a good grill. The fact that so many experienced backyard chefs keep returning to their Weber kettle grills is very telling. Also, be sure to look up recipes at YouTube. I searched for "hamburger on charcoal grill" and found lots of videos with great advice on getting perfect burgers. And bonus! Nearly all of the people in the videos were using a Weber kettle grill. :)
Review: Weber Kettle Grill - I have used propane for all of my adult life. I saw this grill on Modern Marvels and had to try one. Assembly was a breeze. I also got a charcoal chimney to use with the grill. It will get the charcoal going with ease. You can use the grill without it, but it’ll be a little more challenging. I also got charcoal trays for inside the grill. This is nice for saving coals to reuse at a later date. It also keeps the charcoal lumped together to keep the grill hotter in the right way. It also defines where zone heating boundaries are. It’s a timeless design and it’s pleasant to cook on. This design came out in 1952. How cool is that? While improvements have been made, the basic structure is unchanged over 65 years. You can smoke meats on this grill. Is it a smoker? No, but you can do it. You can cook slow or fast on this grill. It’s a Jack of all trades product, which adds to its appeal. I’ve heard people mention that they’re using their dad’s kettle grill. That speaks volumes about the longevity of this particular product. I did buy the premium grill cover for it. The cover is noticeably thicker than a generic cover. I’m hoping that will help protect it pretty well. I’m looking forward to years of use with this grill. I’m super excited about it, but I get that it’s just a grill. Something so simple, yet so perfect in what it does.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Theres another one like this but 199.99. Whats the difference between 149.99 & 199.99?**
A: Hi, Thanks for your question! The $199.99 models is probably our Master-Touch Kettle, which is the same as the Original Kettle Premium, except it also is about 2" taller, has a warming rack, rubber wheels, a Gourmet BBQ System and 2 charbasket charcoal holders. Thanks!

**Q: Is there enough clarence between lid and cooking grate to cook "Beer Can Chickens" if so how many?  Also what about a turkey and a large pork ham?**
A: I have no idea why some responses say, "No" to cooking a turkey on this 22" Weber kettle grill. I have been smoking a turkey on mine every Thanksgiving Day since 1983 when my first Air Force commander invited us to his house and introduced us to this method. My family and I were assigned to various AF bases around the world during the following 23 years and neither weather nor size of the bird stopped us from enjoyed a smoked turkey dinner; we still cook our birds using the Weber kettle every year. The warmest Thanksgiving was in Biloxi, MS (64F) and the coldest was Fairbanks, AL (2F). Interestingly, the temperature never seemed to negatively affect smoking those turkeys, even when at near-zero degrees!

As for the size of turkey that will fit under the lid of a 22" Weber kettle, that depends on the bird's shape, as well as weight. A 16-lb. turkey fits easily on that grill, but I can fit a heavier bird that has a more-flat shape that one that's rounder. My record: A 22-lb. turkey in 2018 (pre-pandemic) for our growing family (10 at that time); however, I did have to "manage" the bird's shape a bit. Although she was as flat as I could find at that size, I still had to "crush" her ribcage so she'd fit. I simply pressed down hard like I was doing CPR -- crunch/snap and we were good; still room for stuffing her, too!

Finally, the cooking time (even in the coldest temps) is much shorter than you might expect (certainly faster than my mother's 6-hour cooks in the oven; maybe that's why they seemed so dry). LOL Most times I find turkeys cook in 3 hours or so on the Weber kettle, but this year's 16-lb. bird was done in just over 2.5 hours (through-and-through, no pink, drumsticks falling off, and internal temp at the FDA recommended 165F. So, cook-and-enjoy your Weber-smoked turkey any time of year, anywhere. Best regards, Colonel Mike

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: Not the quality of a Weber grill it used to be being made in China/Mexico. I would pass on it and get a good USA high quality grill like Webber made their name on.

**Q: How many inches off the ground is the lower triangle shaped wire shelf?**
A: It is 4 inches above the ground.  I wouldn't say its a shelf for storage; its more a support between the two legs with wheels and also the leg without a wheel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Nice Charcoal Grill
*by N***N on June 5, 2021*

I bought this charcoal grill to augment the gas grill I already have. Gas grill is convenient, but charcoal grill provides better flavor. The grill arrived in one box, weight 37 pounds. There is an assembly guide. Note, it is all in pictures, no text for assembly. Fortunately, putting the grill together is relatively simple. It took about 30 minutes. There were no issues with assembly, other than one of the V-shaped clips that holds a leg to the body of the grill wouldn't snap in but that was easily rectified by opening up the V slightly. After doing that, it snapped into place. All of the necessary pieces for assembly were in the box; nothing was missing. There was one extra part; the small cap that holds the wheels on the axle. You only need two as there are just two wheels, but the parts bag had three caps, I assume in case one didn't get put on correctly and a spare was needed, but they caps tap on easily with a small hammer (small point, the caps are just plastic so tapping the cap directly with a hammer will scuff it, so better to use a small piece of wood or other flat object between the cap and the hammer. The scuffing is only cosmetic, it does not affect the ability of the cap to hold the wheel on or interfere with the wheel turning). The only tool you need to assemble the grill is a medium Phillips head screwdriver (to put the plastic cover on the front handle). There are a few hex nuts to tighten, but a small, functional tool is included in the parts to handle that. The grill performs well. It has an ash-catcher on the bottom making cleaning out the used charcoal easy. The grill has a thermometer that mounts in the hood. It seems to be reasonably accurate. Temperature is controlled by the amount the bottom and top vents are open; both move easily. There is a handle cover on the bottom part of the grill to ensure you can move the the grill without burning yourself. The handle also has built-in hooks to allow for conveniently hanging grill tools such as tongs, grill brush, spatula, etc. The food grill has two flaps that allow you to add charcoal or wood for smoking without needed to lift off the entire grill. Included is an instruction book on how to use the grill once assembled; they provide three booklets in three languages: English, French & Spanish. Overall, I am happy I made this purchase. It is a well-made, sturdy charcoal grill that is more than adequate for most backyard grilling needs. Obviously seasoned grillmasters may want a grill that has additional features (side table, electronic ignition, etc.) but this grill is fine for the average person/family. The 22-inch diameter surface easily fits more than a dozen hamburgers. My first use was 13 chicken drumsticks & thighs using indirect grilling, and they fit easily. This grill is a good choice for plain, standard charcoal grilling, It is mobile, looks good, works well, and combines solid design & construction in a wonderful product that I expect will be delivering good results for many years.
