Weber One-Touch 741001 Charcoal Black Grill

COAL has always been and will always remain KING of the BBQ!!! No gas grill will ever beat a WEB

Strengths: THE DEEP BELLY KEEPS FOOD AWAY FROM COAL WHEN THEY ARE TOO HOT Nice ventilation set up. This grill will out cook any gas grill on the planet as far as making quality food & Tender meats.

Weakness: Came with only one wheel nut to lock on one of the wheels . Not very easy to move around with one hand doesn't balance well. NEVER and I mean NEVER move it when cookin. Unless you like Dirt Burgers

I was "Q"ing day when a few guys from work came over,there was steak tips & Burgers & Hot dogs on the table. My boss bit into a steak tip sooo tender they literally melt in your mouth.He told me Rick what kind of gas grill do you use . He said I just spent $800 bucks on a stainless steel double tank dual grill digital temp gages set up and my BBQ doesn't taste anywhere close to this wow what do...

I took him out back and showed him my Weber 22.5 ONE TOUCH. He started laughing his..um... leg off. "Some times simple is the best way to go isn't it Rick" he said to me. I didn't tell him I toss a few hickory chunks in with the charcoal every time I make my tips SHH H

22.5" Weber Kettle Grill (Charcoal)

Strengths: Outstanding for all kinds of outdoor cooking. Small or large gatherings.

Weakness: After a while you may need to replace the charcoal grate, and the blades that control the bottom vent openings.

If you really want to enhance your grilling experience add the rotisserie designed for the charcoal grill. I love it! The only drawback is that I wish they'd make the spit and tines "stick-free" or at least Teflon coated. Would certainly make clean-up a lot easier. I currently own 2 of these grills.

It's a Weber!

Strengths: Even cooking, large size.

Weakness: None

I've had several Weber's over more than 30 years. The design hasn't changed at all except for substituting plastic handles for wood. Why change a good thing! These kettles stand up well to the heat of the cooking fire, and to the weather as well. We don't really have a space to store the kettle inside, so it's out in rain and snow during the winter with no apparent ill effects. If you want to...

We don't really have a space to store the kettle inside, so it's out in rain and snow during the winter with no apparent ill effects. If you want to cook with charcoal, and don't want to be replacing a $10 grill every year, this is the one for you. And it will easily handle a 20-lb turkey, our favorite use.

WEBER 22.5-inch One-Touch Silver 741001 Grill

Strengths: Quality build! Awesome results time after time. Perfect temperature regulation.

Weakness: A little side tray would have been nice :o)

I use the grill often and it's fun to use :o) You can regulate the temperature and the airflow very well thanks to the airflow regulator on the bottom. It's also very well designed to smoke foods. Try ribs, salmon, pork loin. They taste so soo soooo good :o) The only thing I'm missing is the side tray, but I did buy weber's hook thing to hang all of your Barbecue tools.

The only thing I'm missing is the side tray, but I did buy weber's hook thing to hang all of your Barbecue tools.

It cleans up easy, and seems to be built very well.

Oh, and one last thing, it was very easy to put together!

22.5 Weber Silver Grill

Strengths: Very portable and solid as a rock. Fast cooking and easy to light. Cleaning is easy! No complicated assembly.

Weakness: Lid is quiet heavy but it is built to last, at least 10 years :>)

Best charcoal grill that I have ever purchased. Cooking is a breeze, so easy to light and control the temperature with the bottom control arm. Heavy duty material in this grill will last for years. Cleaning the grill is fast and easy. Thank you Weber!
