Great grill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Weber Jumbo Joe Premium Charcoal Grill (22-Inch) is an outstanding grill for outdoor cooking and BBQ. The quality is exactly what you’d expect from Weber very sturdy, well built, and designed to last. Once it was set up, it performed perfectly and delivered even heat, making grilling easy and food come out delicious every time, the lid fits perfectly in the grill. The cooking space is generous, and the charcoal control allows for great temperature management, whether you’re grilling burgers, steaks, or slow cooking. I also really like how portable yet solid it feels, making it perfect for backyard use or taking on the go. The only small issue was that the setup was a little difficult because I didn’t receive the manual instructions. However, once assembled, the grill exceeded my expectations and worked flawlessly. Overall, this is a high quality grill with excellent performance, and I’m very happy with my purchase. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and powerful charcoal grill.

Amazing grill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Yall know we love and live to BBQ here in Texas and the weber 18 inch original kettle charcoal grill is such a classic charcoal grill! It has a classic design and it's ultra durable, porcelain-enameled lid and bowl retain heat! The dampers can be easily adjusted for precise temperature control. We made some ribs and chicken on Saturday but honestly, we cook out 3-4 times a week and we have used this grill up since I first received it. My mom and I tag team using it and we are so happy with the one touch cleaning system because it makes for easy clean up after a long day of grilling! It's definitely helped me as a novice at grilling but it works well for both my mom and boyfriend as expert grillers. We usually put the lid on a table we have near by but you can use the lid hook to avoid placing the lid on the ground. If you have been wanting to practice grilling, this is the perfect grill to use!

Classic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Weber original charcoal grill is a classic. It heats evenly holds temperature well. Deliveries that perfect smoky charcoal flavor. Built, sturdy and durable.

Smokey flavor without the complicated setup
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just broke in my new Weber with a round of steaks and chicken! It was so easy to assemble and use! I was worried about heat control, but the vents made it so easy. I got a perfect, crusty sear on my steaks that looked like a professional steakhouse did it. I moved the chicken to the 'cool' side for a bit, and it came out smoky and tender, not charred to a crisp. The 18" size is surprisingly roomy for a full meal. I expected a mess for my first time, but the one-touch ash system made the post-grill cleanup a total breeze. For a first-timer, this was foolproof. If you want that authentic smoky flavor without a complicated setup, this classic is the only way to go!

Legendary kettle, zero-fuss clean‑up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family loves barbecues, and we always have a blast grilling together. I’m really excited about getting this classic and easy to maintain and one step cleaning Weber Original Kettle Charcoal Grill 18”. It’s small but still works great, and it can grill up to 8 burger patties at once. I also grill kabobs and whole chickens, and they always turn out perfectly. The handle doesn’t get too hot while cooking, which makes it easy to handle, and it has two wheels for easy moving. It keeps the heat in and spreads it out evenly. You can adjust the temperature by opening and closing the lid damper and vent. One of my concerns is that the paint is chipping from the edges of the bowl and lid. The material and overall quality seem durable, though. I’m satisfied with this pretty kettle and would recommend it to others.

One great versatile grill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely loving our Weber charcoal grill. Versatile, portable and it’s the perfect size grill for camping, taking it to the cabin, beach or lake side, yet large enough for at home grilling, able to fit up to 6 New York strips at once. The quality is great and what we’ve all come to expect from the Weber brand and built to last. Grates are quality stainless steel, durable and easy to clean. Wheels make it easy to move around, the ash catching tray is easily removable and easy to clean. Overall we are truly pleased with this grill.

Original Kettle Charcoal Grill 18"
An American original. Accept no substitute! This like the Ford Mustang, it's gone through some changes but the original heart of the matter is still there. So, if you're a patriot, if you fly the flag proudly every day, then park a Weber in your back yard and get to grilling.

BACK TO THE KETTLE!
For years I had abandoned a charcoal kettle for the convenience of a gas grill. Recently, my wife found an 18" Weber kettle on sale and brought it home to surprise me. Using some lump charcoal I began experimenting with chicken, steaks, and recently as a side choice for Thanksgiving, some country style ribs. What a difference! And the flavor is over-the-top delicious! The trade off in immediate convenience for flavor is well worth it in our opinion! The ribs were the choice vs the turkey this Thanksgiving. I'm planning on trying a crown pork roast on the Weber for Christmas dinner. Very pleased with the results. Would buy again. Ha!

It's a 5 star product when put together but a 4 star product putting it together. The written instructions are different then the U-Tube instructions so you have to guess about which version to use.

Small but mighty
This is a perfect side grill. I have a smoker but sometimes it is nice to have something to cook over fire. It has done its job perfectly.

Excelente para asados básicos
Muy básico, pero muy útil. Me gusta mucho mientras la preparación sea muy sencilla, si requieres medir temperaturas, usar accesorios o técnicas complejas, es mejor acudir a un Weber full equipment

Great product
A completely closed ash disposal and a kettle thermometer would be great value added, but is a great product overall

Buy only Weber
Excellent quality, easy to assemble and great cooking, best steaks and burgers due to good circulation. Also easy to clean. This is my second Weber, bought it as I needed a larger barbecue but still has the old one that is in an excellent shape after years of use, those don’t rust

Good grill for the money
Well built, easy to operate. A bit low to the ground, for many adults. No temp thermometer on lid makes temp control difficult.

Lid and kettle top not perfectly round. The fit is getting better over time as I use it.
