Comment: easy to put together. Instructions were easy to follow. I have already made several things with the grill and it works great, food tastes great too! I love the wheels on the grill, they make it easy to move around.

Summary: GREAT GRILL!
Comment: We had a gas grill for years but opted to go back to a charcoal grill. This Weber grill made our decision easy. Outstanding medium size grill for the two of us grilling several items and works well for 4 or more depending on what you need to prepare on the grill. Suggest using the Weber Rapidfire Chiminey for starting your briquets...it's great and makes your job not only easier but the food taste better without the use of starter fluid. Great grill....great name behind it!!

Summary: Classic American grill.
Comment: In my opinion, this is the perfect grill. We had a Weber kettle when I grew up and now I have one at my house. It is my grill of choice - I also have a Char Griller smokin pro. The Weber is easy to fire up and not too complicated to clean up. It's great when used with the Weber chimney starter. It is durable, easy to assemble, and a great addition to any backyard patio. If you like, you can also get a rotisserie for it. When it comes to grilling, I like charcoal. The Weber kettle is a great charcoal grill.

Summary: Mixed emotions, mostly bad
Comment: UPDATED: Edited after using several times: I changed the title and if I could I would knock off a couple of stars. Cannot recommend this at all all ONLY because the ashes go everywhere, even while you're cooking! (NO wind)
When the charcoal burns, the ash falls through the vent and onto the metal tray, but what ends up happening, is that the ashes float around all over the place as they fall through, and because the vents are BELOW the kettle, the updraft blows the ashes up onto your food. Horrible design imo, esp considering their smaller unit w/o the legs (18" kettle) doesn't have this problem due to vents being on the side. If I could take mine back, I would, and just add legs to my portable 18" or something. This thing is awful. Maybe the Gold would be better for this reason alone (but it still has the vents below). DARN! and ARGH!
Strike the con about the cheap legs - doesn't affect anything so far, and helps to keep it light I guess.
Original review:
Bought gold version initially, took it back b/c it was completely bent out of shape. Bought silver because I decided I couldn't justify paying so much extra for a hinged grill grate and the ash catcher. Cost is out of line on gold imo.
Pros:
- great size (upgraded from the smaller, portable 18" ver)
- kettle made really well
- so many accessories available
- Sliding the "fan" vent to get the ashes out worked very well imo. Some reviews say this doesn't work, but it did for me. Got almost all the ashes out (at least the first time, we'll see how it holds up).
- never had a problem with the handles getting too hot.
Cons:
I think I could crush the cheap alum. legs with my hand if I squeezed hard enough. As mentioned, the base and wheels, etc are VERY cheap, bottom line Kmart grill cheap.
ashes from coal go through vents and onto catch tray, then blows all around and up and probably into food. I live in a low/almost no wind area...can't imagine anyone using this thing where wind is even minimal. Yes, you can buy the gold and I would assume this would fix the problem...for $60 more!
I think they should have put in separate, simple side vents (like on the portable 18" weber) AND the lever. Trying to combine two functions into one for the sake of a marketing gimmick name (one touch) was a huge mistake. I feel like I went a step backwards wrt to ash.
Must buy: charcoal chimney. This thing is built really well and does it's job so well. They should make the base of the grill as well as they made this chimney!
I would not recommend buying the accessory to hang the lid, I found the little hook inside the top works just fine.
I guess I would recommend this but, if you were not at all concerned about money (or the principle of how they differentiate between the silver and gold versions as in my case), I would go for the gold only because I would think the ashes would not fly around. For the extra cost they are asking for the gold, I just could not justify it.
