          Answer This Question

          A:  If you're built like the Hulk, perhaps. The instructions are clear, but the parts do not fit into one another easily - Weber knows this and even prints in the directions NOT to use a hammer to get the parts to insert. IKEA is so superior in their ability to make parts fit together. Too bad grills are not part of their inventory!

                  New Kettle Vs Old Kettle
                  Compared to my first Weber Kettle of 30+ years (and still used), the tray for ashes and handles have improved. The new lid is noticeably lighter weight, but unsure that is an improvement. The new kettle was not consistent in temperature (as evidenced by the food being cooked), and I'm thinking it was the change in lid, as I've been cooking with charcoal for the years noted. Some issues with assembling. Two legs were difficult to insert. Used WD40, which helped. Also, one of the clips (to insert into the leg) was too long for the machined hole. The first kettle I received was damaged, but received excellent customer service for a replacement.

                  Still fantastic after all these years
                  The 18” Weber is just right for my family of three. Grilling with charcoal brings me back to my childhood. This compact design allows for relatively fast pre heat (15 minutes) and quality design makes grilling easy.

                  Original Style But Not the Original Quality
                  This 18 inch grill lacks the quality of the 22 in grill I had used for many years. The 4 kettle tabs that hold up the food grill are so poorly designed, and the grill diameter too small, that the grill nearly flips out of the kettle when you try and clean it. The food grill diameter is 17.5 in. and increasing it to 17.75 would help.

                  Great grill
                  I love my grill I just wish I got a bigger model. It’s a great size for a couple without any guests, which is fine during Covid times. The food tastes great, assembly was straight forward, and it’s easy to clean.

                  Good grill easy assembly
                  Grill works great, was super easy to assemble. Only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star is because it’s a little more difficult getting the ashes out of than other grills I’ve had
