Customer Reviews for Weber Original Kettle Premium 22 in. Charcoal Grill in Black with Built-In Thermometer

I have tried gas grills and pellet grills. While each one has their advantage in convenience and ease of use, that real grilled flavor I want only comes from charcoal. The Weber Original does charcoal the best. It’s well thought out and we’ll made.

Love it! Excellent customer service. Versatile grill

Never disappointed with this grill, love the flavor of old school charcoal grilling

Excellent all purpose grill and smoker. I’ve done all manner of chicken, beef Dino ribs, pork ribs, pulled pork, cedar plank salmon and veggies. This grill is an excellent value and can produce gourmet food. Everyone should own one.

I had to purchase some upgraded items to make it the perfect kettle, but still by far the best one on the market. 4 starts = thermostat is on the wrong spot….should be closer to the grate …grate is thinner and needs upgrading.

Le meilleur bbq que j’ai acheté, fonctionne super bien et de bonne qualité

I absolutely love this grill. It cooks so well! It's perfect!

Of all the grills I own, the Weber kettle is the most versatile!

Can’t go wrong with the classic kettle grill by Weber. I love the quality and the additional customer support.

Some might find it s bit pricey but it's worth it.

Easy to assemble. Holds heat great! First time I used charcoal in years, my cook came out great.

As a grill it is great, but took off a stars for the design of the cover. To use the latch to hang the cover on the grill, one has to turn their hand horizontal to the ground (palm up) and secure. It would be much more natural and require less strength to be able to hold the cover handle in a vertical position with your thumb grip facing up. I thought it might have been built incorrectly by the store but there is no other orientation to put on the handle. Also my cover seems a bit warped so the cover does not sit properly without much repositioning. I was told all Weber grills are assembled for customer, but I believe it was a floor model as it had a price tag stuck on lid. No way that occurs out of box, thus being a floor model I think that explains the warping. If I had not used it I would consider returning. Main recommendation - fix cover design.

I should’ve got one of these along time ago. My food game has been taken to another level with this grill. Absolutely fantastic.

As expected works perfectly. This is my 4th spanning over 30 years maybe more.

Built for a lifetime of grilling and smoking. Love the ash dump feature.

Still, a great grill. My dad had one of these when we were kids. I was looking for a good quality charcoal grill, because nothing beats the taste of a charcoal grilled food. The Weber kettle is still a great quality grill. I hope to have this one for a long time.

After going to a friend's house for a Weber BBQ, I immediately had to go out and get one of my own. The option to slow roast and smoke produces a one of a kind cook that I could only achieve with a Weber. I haven't cooked on my old grill since I bought my Weber and considering getting a second in for the Hunting Camp.

Perfect grill for any occasion or grilling style. We use ours constantly for direct and indirect heat.

First of all I did not have to spend an hour or two putting it together. 15 minutes and I was done. I can slow cook ribs or I can quickly do some burgers or dogs. The thermometer really helps a lot. It’s easy to move around and easy to clean. I just love it. Thanks Weber.

For 36 years the original 22.5" Weber kettle was still going strong but it was time for a shiny new one. We used the old one at least twice a week even in winter for 36 years. Other than the lid handle everything was still in working order. If this one lasts 36 years it will outlive us!

I wish I'd have gotten the master touch, for the extra money it would've been the better grill, but I still love this thing. I'll never get rid of it even when I get a master touch or performer.

I am really enjoying my grill.... thanks for the color options.

Weber makes the best charcoal grills! We enjoy cooking, baby back ribs, steaks, chicken, and much more. A quality made product at a fair price

Great Grill, easy to assemble, bought Weber cover very durable.

This was my first weber and I absolutely love it. I find the heat control and consistency to be next to none. I have owned no name kettles and was always happy with them, but I think that has changed now haha.

Guys, if you want to get a starter charcoal grill and are afraid that its going to be hard. Stop overthinking it. this is one of the easiest to manage. after a few mods, seen on YouTube with a liner and adding of a thermometer in the right position, this is the best. For short and searing heat to long and slow cooks. I have a Weber Genesis propane as well, but if you are looking to get that coal flavor, look no further.

The Weber Kettle works great for direct and indirect grilling. I have smoked chicken and a pork shoulder and it is awesome!!

This grill is all you’ll ever need. No reason to try anything else. I’ve only owned Weber charcoal grills and they’ve never let me down.

It looks really nice. Didn’t expect it to be big. It was hard to assemble.

I received this grill as a Christmas gift. So far, I have done a roast and ribs on it. Unfortunately, we have three foot drifts of snow, and sub zero temperatures. I'll be using it again in March.
