Weber 441001 18 1/2" One Touch Silver Kettle Grill, Black

I have been a long time user of a Weber charcoal grill and just love this new one. Once you've owned one and learn how to use it the grill consistently performs time and time again. Its size is perfect for a small family, easy to store and overall is a wonderful product.

A great little grill, works just a described. The secret to the coals burning just right is the adjuster at the bottom of the unit that allows fresh air to the coals when the cover is in place. And, when you're finished grilling, just cover it up, close the lower vent and the cols will extinguish and be usable on another occasion. It took me about 10 minutes to assemble it, and it looks great on my patio.

Excellent results! Plenty of cooking space for an average family or get together. Lower and upper vents were about half way open creating a nice draft to keep the charcoal going and imparting that wonderful smokey aroma and taste on the food. Of course, leaving the domed lid on the grill made the food cook faster while imparting the flavor of the charcoal. No flares up either!

Once both vents were closed the charcoal was quickly extinguished. The coals at this point had pretty much given their all, but the closed vents sped up the cool down period.

This is a great heavy weight grill without being too heavy to transport and the two wheels made for easy rolling once I had picked my grilling spot.

For traditional charcoal grilling I just don't think this grill can be beat. When I've used up my supply of regular Kingsford charcoal I'd like to try the hickory briquets! I'm sure the Weber will perform with just as great results. Nice price and won't break the bank when one of these are purchased. Well made for many many years of grilling.

I always thought this was an oddball size--in between the Smokey Joe and the full-size 22 1/2 inch kettle.It's actually perfect for a small family. It has plenty of room for burgers and steaks with decent room for indirect cooking too. Wish I'd purchased this long ago--definitey not just for 1st-time buyers or inexperienced grillers, this is a for-real Weber prduct (the best name in grilling). Very nice product.

First meal fixed was grilled steak and boy was it delicious. Even though I got it more done than I usually like, it had a smoked flavor to knock your socks off! Easy clean up. I like my Weber.
