When we downsized from our big family home to a townhouse with a small balcony, we gave up our large gas grill but we found we really missed grilling. Since we have always preferred the flavor of foods grilled over charcoal to those cooked on the gas grill, we decided to purchase a new charcoal grill. Having had several Webers in various sizes in the past, this grill was a natural choice. My kids and I chipped in and bought it for my very hard-to-buy-for husband for his November birthday.
He was thrilled with the rich copper color which we are using as an accent color throughout our home.
The grill was easy to assemble, only taking a few minutes. It is sturdy and has a very “quality” look and feel.
Normally it is just the two of us eating but the grilling surface is huge and easily accommodates cooking for a crowd. I think we did 12 burgers and a few hot dogs at once for a family party. We have used it for chicken, grilled veggies, steaks, pork roast, grilled pineapple and more. In fact, I rarely turn on my stove now! Once of our favorite easy meals is to add a few extra topping and extra cheese to a frozen pizza and bake it on the hot grill…much better than take-out pizza and so quick and convenient!
Back in the day, the ash catchers on charcoal grills were messy and difficult to empty without getting covered in soot. Not so with the new design which does a better job of containing the ashes and makes clean up a breeze. We oil the grates with a little olive oil spray before cooking making cleaning the grates less of a chore. There are other handy “new” features as well such as the lid handle that does not get hot and hooks for hanging your utensils.
Most importantly to us, the grill, even with its huge cooking surface, does not take up a lot of space on our tiny deck (not like a bulky gas grill).
We love our Weber Kettle and recommend it to anyone looking for a grill.
