Heavy-guage porcelain-enameled lid and bowl, factory-assembled stainless steel One-Touch cleaning system, sweeper system, rust-resistant aluminum legs, removable high-capacity ash catcher, glass-reinforced nylon handles, hinged cooking grate. Available in 18 1/2" and 22 1/2" diameter models with a limited 10-year warranty.
Weber's One-Touch Gold kettle grill is a great buy for anyone looking for a classic model with a few convenient extras. The design is sleek. The results are delicious.
As with all Weber grills, this kettle's lid and bowl are constructed of premium porcelain-enameled steel--which means not only does heat radiate evenly, but the grill will survive if it's left out in the rain. The cooking surface (22-1/2 inches in diameter) is big enough to accommodate six large steaks, twice as many burgers, or up to a dozen kebabs, and the grill's classic kettle shape keeps flare-ups to a minimum.
When designing this grill, Weber clearly kept convenience in mind. The grill's nickel-plated grate has two built-in hinged side openings that make adding more charcoal briquettes easy and safe, and, when the lid's not in use, it can hang from the bowl by a handy hook. The grill is durable, too. The porcelain-coated steel bowl and lid are exceptionally strong and designed never to rust, fade, or peel. The grill's aluminum vents and ash catcher won't rust either, and its tripod base, nylon handles, and all-weather wheels--besides being exceptionally sturdy--make the grill remarkably easy to maneuver. Weber's patented One-Touch cleaning system--a clever setup of lever-activated blades--sifts ash out of the kettle and into a cooking-pot-shaped ash catcher. You never have to get your hands dirty--and emptying the kettle takes only a few seconds.
To top it all off, Weber throws in a 31-page owner's guide filled with cooking tips and time-tested recipes for grilling everything from pork chops to bratwurst to Cornish hens.

Better than a Brinkman:
I used to have a large smoker with a chimney stack. The Webber Grill One Touch Gold 22.5 is more effecient for smoking. With the ash catcher you don't experience blowing ash. The catcher also makes it easy to dispose of the ashes. I use less charcoal and wood. I wish it were taller. ecandy Kindle Cover & Case with Reversible Zip Closure in Black Licorice Paisley (Fits 6" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation Kindle)
Great Grill:
I have used Weber grills for many years with great results. This one has features that enhance the grilling experience. The ash collecter makes clean up easy and neat. With the larger grill and the folding sides, I can use indirect heat easily and efficiently. In the short time I have had my new Weber, I have smoked a small turkey, a pork roast and a meat loaf. Well done, Weber.
Superb charcoal grill:
As this was the first summer for my wife and I in our first house, I needed a grill. I can't afford the $400 for the Weber Spirit gas grill yet, so I researched charcoal, as I like the flavor it brings to the meat better anyway. This grill does not disappoint. I used to have a cheap $40 charcoal grill in college and in comparison, I can say the Weber One-Touch Gold is much more durable and built to last. The One-Touch cleaning system and ash catcher are both very convenient. I had debated getting... more info
Plastic Handles:
I have been using a Weber Charcoal grill for 30 years. I have loved them. One of the best thing Weber has done was to replace the metal handle with the wood handles. I just bought a Weber for my daughter for a wedding present and the new plastic or composite handles, in my point of view are one of if not the worst thing Weber has done. The wood handles are great. There is no Waring's anywhere that I saw that told you the handles get "very" hot! My son in law grabbed the handle on the new BBQ I just gave... more info
