Once you see the sheer enormousness of the Ranch Kettle BBQ grill, you will understand why big is an oversized understatement. Weber combines traditional, iconic design with innovation in production in this massive grill that is large enough to cook for family reunions or other large events. Made of premium-grade U. S. Steel coated with porcelain enamel inside and out, the bowl and lid of the Weber Ranch Kettle charcoal grill are precisely formed to allow heat to circulate evenly across the huge 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. With the versatile Ranch Kettle grill, you have the option of indirectly cooking large amounts of food by placing charcoal on one side of the grill and food on the other, which creates convection-style heat circulation. The adjustable top vent provides the proper airflow needed for perfect grilling and helps you to control the temperature inside the grill. This Weber Ranch Kettle 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, tool hooks and a Tuck-Away lid holder that conveniently allows you to store the lid while you grill. The high-capacity, porcelain-enameled ash catcher lifts out for easy ash disposal and cleaning. The heavy-duty steel cart ensures the grill is sturdy and stable, while two crackproof all-weather wheels and two locking casters make moving the grill easy. A massive take on a classic, dependable design, the Weber Ranch Kettle Charcoal Grill is designed for the griller ready to take it to the next level!

I've had this Ranch Kettle for many years. It stands outside, uncovered for years, all seasons, remains spotless. The way it cooks is amazing. Not only high quantity but quality as well. Here are some pointers or improvements for Weber to consider: I wish Weber made a cover for the Ranch Kettle for obvious reasons. The Charcoal Grate sags in the middle over time. Becomes bowl-shape. It's got to be the heat softening it and the weight of the coals exacerbated by the total width. Wondering if you added a vertical post for the middle of the grate in order to add support. Maybe larger holes in the bottom? What currently exists is the same as in the 22" model. These are minor points. I bbq approximately 3-4 times a week. I'm thrilled about the Ranch Kettle!
This grill is as I envisioned. Besides that it came with some parts missing, I need to say that when I called customer service all was taken care and very fast. Putting the grill together takes time and patience but instructions were clear.

This is my second review. I have owned the ranch kettle for over 25 years and it's a 10. I forgot to mention in the first review that it's a great smoker. Although I only the 18" smokey mountain smoker, I often use the ranch for smoking. It's amazing !!! Just use the indirect heat with charcoal in about 1/4 of the grill and use the Minion method. Can't go wrong.

This product is the biggest charcoal kettle grill I've ever seen! I'm able to cook appetizers along with whatever main protein at the same time instead of having to grill everything separately! It's a game changer for a bbq enthusiast such as my self!

This Is a game changer when it comes to cooking on kettle grills. I used to have to fire up two or three of my 22" kettles when I wanted to cook multiple meats at once. Now I only have to fire this one up. I've done 2 tri tips at once with 20 pieces of chicken thighs and then added zucchini and mushrooms at the end in a skillet pan. Everything fit perfectly.

Love the grill should come with temp gauge but doesn't also need people who know how to count parts !!!!! Got two bags after the first was short the second was missing parts too! But manage to make it work with two bags.

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.
