Experience the charcoal revolution that started it all with a Weber kettle-style BBQ grill! Weber combines traditional, iconic design with innovation in production in this grill that is large enough to feed the neighborhood! Made of premium-grade U. S. Steel coated with porcelain enamel inside and out, the bowl and lid of the Weber Original Premium charcoal grill are precisely formed to allow heat to circulate evenly inside the grill and across the vast 508 square inches of cooking area. The black porcelain-enamel coating is baked on, fusing the finish to the steel to prevent rusting and peeling through years of use. The aluminized steel Original cleaning system makes clean-up hassle free. As you rotate the handle, three blades in the bowl move ash through the vents and down into the removable, high-capacity aluminum ash catcher below, which is enclosed to prevent ashes from blowing away and creating a mess. Only the unburned coals remain in the bowl and can be re-lit for your next barbecue, which helps you save money on fuel. With this versatile Weber Original Kettle Premium grill, you have the option of direct or indirect cooking by using the two included Char-Basket charcoal fuel holders in various positions. The adjustable, no-rust aluminum top vent provides the proper airflow needed for perfect grilling and, along with the built-in thermometer, helps you to control the temperature inside the grill. This Weber Original Premium grill also features a hinged stainless steel cooking grate, for easily adding more charcoal, two glass-reinforced nylon handles that will withstand the elements for the life of the grill, one of which has built-in tool hooks, and a Tuck-Away lid holder that conveniently allows you to store the lid while you grill. Aluminum legs elevate the grill to an ideal height for grilling and two durable all-weather wheels, that are virtually indestructible, make moving the grill easy. A classic, dependable design, the Weber Original Premium Kettle charcoal grill is engineered with the backyard griller in mind!

Xtra space for meat!

Typically our house ends up as the entertaining house for our friends and family. For many years with the 22", i was longing for a little more grilling space. The 26" definately covers what i need for those big gatherings.

First time Weber owner.

I bought this 26" grill about a month ago. Could not be happier with my decision. I did a couple of mods on it. Added a Lava lock lid seal, added a thermometer by the top vent that way I can more or less gauge the temp on the hot and colder side of the grill, bought a Vortex ring and a slow and sear. Overall great quality, easy to put together and great tasting food.

Plan for the Future

Having a 22" charcoal grill for years I was able to cook some delicious food on it. From burgers, fish, steaks and with an extension ring, rotisserie chicken. The problem was when my grown kids came over there wasn't quite enough room to cook easily using the hot and cool zone method, which I prefer. Looking at the Ranch charcoal grill it was toooo big and then I found the 26" . Purchased it a couple months ago and glad I did. It fits my needs. The only issue is finding an extension ring for doing rotisserie cooks. For the first timer, don't invest in the 22". The grill will last for years if cared for. Plan for the future and buy the 26" charcoal grill.

Weber 26

Weber has the best customer service and their products last so when looking for another charcoal grill i had no issues choosing this company. As far as the Weber 26 its perfect size, its kind of the unsung hero that i dont think people think of. I was worried about it being to large but now that i have it not a worry at all. For smaller cooks i utilize the baskets that come with it and when done can close vents and still have charcoal left but its perfectly sized for indirect grilling pr smoking.

My new beast

I love my new Weber 26 inch. The thing is a beast. The critique I have is that Weber should consider putting a thermometer on the. Side where the vent is on the cover. It would help when smoking. Bought one myself and mounted it. Looks great.

Some manufacturing issues but happy overall

I honestly think Weber kettles are the best value cookers on the market. I love them! However I was disappointed in the quality control on the 26" kettle I received. The bottom triangle hook that connects to the front leg was bent (I had to grab it in several spots with vice grips and bend it back into place), the lid damper was way too tight and I couldn't turn it (had to warranty it for a new lid and the new lid came out of round so I had to gently bend to fit), and the ash sweeper rubs real bad on the aluminum housing. It cooks great but has its issues. Weber stands behind their products and helps out where they can which mean a lot to me. Because of that commitment I wouldn't hesitate to buy another if needed.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
