I have had a 22 inch Performer for over 10 years and upon moving to a different state last month, decided to give it away and upgrade to the Weber 26 inch. After the burn in, I have cooked on it twice and absolutely love the extra space it provides. A little disappointed that there are way fewer accessories for it.
Love it. The closed ash catcher basket is great, protected from wind and easy to dispose. Awesome charcoal flavor. Holder for top hooks on easily. Recommend charcoal baskets and definitely need a chimney starter. Easy to adjust vents.
Love the grill. Hate the multi-functional grill grate. Epic fail, in my opinion. The parts just drop out unless one keeps the grate oriented particularly. Bring back simple, please.

Thank you for your feedback! We apologize for the disappointing experience you had using your new cooking grates. Your satisfaction is important to us! We would like to know more about your experience and offer our assistance. Please look for our email outreach. Thank you!
Best purchase I've made! It has plenty of surface to grill for my back yard barbecues no matter how ambitious the menu! My party sizes are usually between 5 and 10 people.
I expanded my Weber collection with the 26" Kettle and am loving this new addition! The amount of real estate on this grill is incredible and I'm surprised it's not more prevalent. I initially had an issue with the ash catch pan, but Weber's Consumer Care Team delivered a new pan to me within a few days of my initial review. They reached out to make sure everything worked as expected and even followed up afterwards to make sure I was happy with the purchase. I've been a Weber grill user for 25 years and this is the first time I've ever needed assistance. If I wasn't a fan before, I'd definitely be one now. The grill itself is as easy to use as its baby brother, whether smoking, searing, or grilling. I highly recommend using the Weber charcoal briquette holders to make your cook turn out great. The grill's best features are its removable ash dump for cleaning purposes and the lid storage. No more scraping up the kettle lid by setting it down on the ground. All in all, the 26" Weber kettle is the best offering from their charcoal lineup. Get one, you won't be disappointed!

After years of not owning a kettle it is a pleasure to have one again. Nothing beats the charcoal taste and smell. The 26" kettle is big but the versatility with all that space makes it easy to cook. Weber putting in a grate system to accommodate all the different cooking methods is wonderful. I reach for the kettle now without hesitation and leave the smoker covered.
I received two 26 inch grills in which the lid either didn't fit at all or the lid only fits when aligned in a certain way. I'm not a fan of the grilling grate with the removeable center sections. The charcoal grate is allowing too much lump charcoal to fall through before I light the grill. On my second cook I couldn't close or adjust the bottom vent because a piece of unlit lump charcoal was lodged in the bottom vent hole. The ash collector is too hard to put back on once the ash has been emptied.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your 26'' Master Touch grill. We will be sure to share this with our team. So sorry to hear about your lid not fitting properly. We are here to help. Please look for an outreach email from us soon. Thank you!
New Weber Kettle user (26" Master Touch. I love this grill as there is so much room. Also, new to two zone fire cooking method. Makes such as huge difference. It's like an eye opener. I do not like the three piece cooking grate that came with it.
After years of piecing together We we 22 inch grills from garage sale grills I finally got the 26. So much roomier than the 22 and seems to be a bit easier to control the temperature.

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.
