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!

Great Grill

I have always loved Weber Grills. The cook well and are efficient with charcoal. It has always been a problem grilling pork ribs; they are too long for the 18" and 22" grills. The 26" grill allows to cook 2 slabs at a time. Happy camper.

Good However, the thermometer should be on the same side as the vent.

Back to a classic

Excellent temperature control by using the vents at top and bottom. No flare ups. Recommend using a drip pan to catch grease. Have made hamburgers, pork burgers, corn on the cob and chicken quarters. Great food comes from a great product.

26" Weber Kettle Grill

Very solid grill. The features are great compared to my older Weber kettle grill. I especially appreciate the soot catcher.

Great grill, great company

The 26" is my 4th Weber. (two 22's and a WSM) Love them all. For those debating on getting the 26, GET IT! Weber is a great company to deal with if there is a problem, so dont worry about that.

26" Weber Charcoal Grill

The quality has definitely gone down hill since my last purchase 13 years ago. The parts included (screws, bolts, etc) just seemed flimsy and cheap. The assembly was not as easy because of this and the grate is difficult to remove and replace every time because of the nuts protruding from the lid cover assembly. The ash catcher is also cheaply made and difficult to remove and replace. I would definitely look/shop elsewhere next time I'm in the market for a new charcoal grill. This makes me sad!

Love it!

Definitely worth getting the 26". It's better for cooking for 2 people or a crowd. Charcoal offers a better flavor compared to a gas grill

Worth every penny!

I've owned Weber products for years. They've always been durable and long lasting. This 26" kettle is no different. What's sur[rising to me is how easy it is to regulate the temp while doing long cooks. I've held a 5 degree difference for over an hour with no adjustments. Some pellet smokers that claim to be set and forget aren't that accurate. You can't go wrong with any weber product.

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.

This item leaves our warehouse within 24 Hours

$49 Flat-Rate Shipping

Anything under $49 ships at one low price. If your order increases, your shipping stays the same!

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.

No Restocking Fee

Most companies charge a restocking fee. We just don't do business that way.
