The Ultimate Classic

  1. Did some work at their plant in Palatine, IL. Was watched like a hawk. Protected better than Ft. Knox.

  2. If grabbing one to use somewhere on vacation for a week or two, this is fine. If you're getting yourself a kettle that you want to use at home for a decade or more, save yourself some trouble & heartache & get the 26" with the ash catcher, trust me, it's worth it.

    1. I've had Weber's for 40 years, but the 22-inch is now made so cheaply that it'll fall apart within 1-3 years. I agree with Matthew on the 26", the bigger sizes are much more solid, much more durable. Well worth the extra $$$.

  3. "The Only Grill You’ll Ever Need Is Less Than $200
    Pricier gas grills, pellet smokers and even pizza ovens now crowd the backyards of some American chefs. But with the right technique and accessories, the Weber Kettle can outperform them all."

  4. That is a GREAT tool! I learned on one and was able to smoke a turkey, pulled pork and even smoke meatballs besides burgers, dogs/sausage & steaks.
    The book I bought to teach me to grill recommended one of these and it was good.
    I'd imagine there are those out there who would laugh about "learning to grill", I'm not one of them! For me cooking chicken that wasn't burnt on the outside and raw in the middle was a mystery... not any more!

  6. Legs are too short unless you're really short & the price has gone crazy. Maybe by the time I need a new one the price will be better, in 20yrs or so.

  7. My 22" Weber is 33 years old. Some occasional cleaning, maintenance and a fresh spray coat of black heat paint on the outside every few years and it's good to go. Last time I had to replace the charcoal grate, I bought 3 as I can never find them in Lowes or Home Depot.

  8. That is my traveling tool. Cooked up some blue and gold sausage yesterday on it.
