Weber Original Kettle Premium 22-Inch Charcoal Grill - Green - 14407001

I like the Original kettle and have beennusing the charcoal model for almost 50 years. This is my 4th one and it lacks a back handle. It is much more difficult to move as I have steps involved from where its kept to where Its used.

Always like these Weber grills. This is my 4 th one. Works great. Temp gauge hard to trust in a kettle style grill.

The kettle is well made, but here are some things that have frustrated me: ---It requires much more charcoal that I expected to get it up to temperature ---The ash pan is fine, except that it is hard to put on. It fell off and made a terrible mess on my patio ---Hanging the lid on the side is not easy ---Time required to cook a meal is much longer than with gas because of the amount of time required to start the charcoal. Using a chimney style starter requires about 45 minutes, not the 20 minutes seen in videos. ---Temperature control is much more difficult than with gas grill. ---Bottom Line: I wish I had bought a gas grill.

I received a 22" Copper kettle for Christmas and it's been an excellent experience so far! Unfortunately, due to shipping my lid had a good sized dent that took the paint off which was a bit of a bummer. Upon contacting customer service I was sent a new lid quickly covered under warranty! You couldn't have asked for better customer service, especially from Emily! She was great, coming off genuinely friendly and caring. The copper color is amazing and the best one available in my opinion. The kettle goes together quickly and easily! It holds heat great and the food that comes off it is delicious! I prefer to use it over my smoker or griddle due to its simplicity and easy cleanup. I can't wait to own other Weber products in the future!

I received this new kettle to replace one that I've had for ever. The old one was actually beginning to rust through. It was well loved and lasted well over a decade. The new one seems to get hotter faster and might even cook a bit better. Im very happy with my new kettle. I hope it lasts as long as the last one.

This is my second Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill 22". I still have and use my first Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill 22". I clearly favor the Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill 22" when it comes to cooking in the back yard. Can not say enough in regards to charcoal cooking with these fantastic grills.

Easy to use and the perfect design. Learning how to heat the coals effectively takes a bit but is easy to learn with some googling.

The grill is great, as always. Before this one I had a one touch gold for 14 years. The thing I miss with the new design is having two handles. Why'd you go down to one?

Get one! This thing has been the most fun for me and my son. We've cooked the best steaks, hamburgers and hotdogs, ribs, and even a pork butt. There are so many great YouTube videos about how to set it up for various cooking methods, it's really been a great learning experience for my 14 year old son. The time it takes to get the charcoal ready, monitoring the temperature, playing with the vents to get it dialed in, all a lot of fun. Slow down and enjoy a classic, you won't regret it. The flavor is awesome, the sear on the steaks is restaurant good, and how fun to smoke some ribs in an afternoon with your kids. Get your son out of the house and teach him the time honored traditions of grilling.

I have returned to Webber grilling. As a young married man I started with a Webber grill, just like my dad had taught me. Over the years I had several of the base model grills always pleased with it cooking. But as I got older I got tired of the "hassle" of starting the fire so went gas grill. After it finally rusted out I'm back to an upgraded Webber grill. At 72 years of age I expect it to be my last grill, finishing with the BEST!
