Summary: The Perfect Grill
Comment: Whenever I'm done cooking I close both air vents. This keeps the coals from burning to ash. I save these coals in coffee cans. These come in handy when using the indirect cooking method with the grates to keep the fires going. Beans, Brisket and Ribs can take hours to cook properly.
There's something magic about this grill. I've had them all and none compare. I pity those that cook a good steak on a gas grill.
BTW Look for Home Depot circular on memorial day or July 4th. Every year they sell two large bags of Kingsford for $8. I buy 10 bags and that's good for a year

Summary: What a piece of junk! :)
Comment:
That title was sarcasm, in case you missed it.
When we bought a house almost fourteen years ago, I brought along a Weber Smokey Joe grill I had used when I was single. We used it for the first several months of our marriage as our only grill. Then we bought a Weber 22 1/2 inch kettle grill for our new backyard. We have used it regularly ever since. It works for indirect cooking of roasts and chickens, it works for direct grilling burgers, chops and sausages, it works for roasting chiles and it works as a fire pit to burn hardwood logs to fuel my large offset firebox smoker. This grill has been out in the weather without a cover for 13 years or so and it has held up beyond reasonable expectations. Only within the past few months has the use, age and abuse begun to take a toll. There are several spots where the porcelain has worn away that are rusting through or already have rusted through. The wooden handles dry rotted away. The nuts holding the aluminum airflow disc adjusters at the bottom of the kettle rusted off. And I'm still using it. I did a steak and some pork chops last night, using lump charcoal and pecan hardwood chunks I chopped up myself. They were delicious.
I also have a gas grill that is convenient but does not even come close to giving the good taste you can get from charcoal and wood fuel. Trying to use a smoker box on a gas grill is futile for me. You can't adjust the airflow through a gas grill. The only adjustment is the level of the flame. I constantly find the wood chips either just burn up quickly without producing much smoke or they never heat up enough to start smoking at all. The gas grill doesn't get much use at my house.
I also use an offset firebox smoker. It's great for doing large size pieces of meat or poultry or multiple pieces of smaller items. It does require frequent attention to keep the fire going and the temperature within the proper range. Honestly, the Weber grills can do the same or better job for smaller cuts of meat by cooking indirect. About the only time I use the smoker is when I have something too large for the Weber.
It's time retire the old Weber. I've already put a One-Touch Gold on my Amazon wishlist. I think I'll use the old grill as a planter. I can't imagine throwing it away after all these years.

Summary: Grilling Makes me happy
Comment: I love this grill, my wife and I have now enjoyed many meals made in our backyard. If you buy this grill you are making a wonderful investment.
For starters it works perfectly. My grilled food is cooked to perfection, not burned, not ruined. Also, when I am done grilling there is no real clean up. Grab your food and go, the next day or next time you grill you can rinse this baby out knock off any thing on the grill itself and you are rolling.

Summary: Chilihead
Comment: A fine kettle grill, very well made and the cleaning system is extremely clever and functional. The ability to cut off all air intake (upper and lower vents) enables quicker cooling and coal savings. My only suggestion would be a deeper lid that would permit the cooking of large "Beer Can Turkeys"

Summary: Worth three times the price!
Comment: I wish I'd bought one of these the day I first moved out on my own! For years I got by with a ridiculously tiny hibachi -- one day I found myself living in the suburbs and somehow rationalized BUYING A REAL BARBECUE! Due to my dyed-in-the-wool cheapness and extensive researching before buying, it was inevitable that I'd end up with a Weber 22.5" Silver Kettle Grill!
YES the little tray on the bottom end is a pain in the neck. But I can't say it's really ever bothered me ALL that much! You'll want to use a charcoal chimney to light your coals -- I used to build a little fire with newspaper and sticks but the charcoal chimney is the way to go, and one chimney will nicely fill the coal area on the Silver Kettle Grill. Do not ever use lighter fluid or fuel-soaked coals. But you already know that.
While you'll get the hang of burgers, hot dogs, steaks, chicken and bratwurst right away, make sure to investigate "indirect grilling" where you pile your coals on one side or the other (or both) and put an aluminum tray under whatever you're grilling. Like a pork roast or a whole chicken. The 22.5" Silver Kettle Grill has AMPLE room for everything you'd like to do. Including grilling a turkey! Easy to do plus incredible flavor!
I recently acquired a "slide-aside" cradle for the lid which I like a lot, and a clip-on tool holder, which is really handy. We use the grill several times a week. I've never found it lacking. There are a few techniques you'll pick up to turn out just what you like, such as brining chicken or pork prior to cooking. You really do not have to spend more than this to get an excellent tool which you'll use for years and years to come. Get this larger size, but don't spend more on non-essentials. It's a zen thing. In place of a statue of Buddha, we suburbanites have Weber Kettle Grills in our backyard. Grilling harkens back to caveman days, satisfying something very deep in every red-blooded American -- meat good. fire good. Weber good.
Order the hinged lid grate for this size grill -- it's a neat thing to have when you need it. And make sure to try grilled pizza dough -- it doesn't ooze through the grate like you'd think it would and the flavor is incredible.
The perfect shape of the Weber Kettle Grill makes operation just about foolproof. Improvise an improved ash catcher underneath (like a big metal bucket!) and you're in business. GREAT product! This is not a frivolous purchase, you NEED one of these!
