By far the best BBQ I have ever purchased! Food tastes so much better when cooked on coals, I also purchased the rotisserie extension which allows more options. I have had it for about 3 years now and live near the ocean and no sign of rust, even where I have scratched it.

So far have found this kettle bbq fantastic for smoking and bbqing over coals. Have also slow cooked in it which is a bit of effort but totally worth it. I suggest if your planning to slow cook or cook for a long period of time to invest in a hinged cooking grill grate which you can purchase separately, which allows access to the coals below the food with ease. That way you can add coals or smoking chips as needed without disturbing or having to remove the food from the heat. All materials its made from is very good quality, no rust in sight so far.

The Webber kettle is brilliant for cooking pizza, bread, roasts and slow and low bbq. and of course a bbq. Love the different taste of this bbq compared to a traditional gas bbq. It has definitely given the traditional Sunday roast a new and more delicious twist. It is the best ever.

This is the only way you should cook bbq meat or on an open fire, Weber bbq’s are the best thing in he world and I wouldn’t use another brand. The meat tastes just like you’re out camping and you just cooked on the camp fire, I refuse to use gas bbq as you never get the real bbq taste. Thanks Weber.

Using this product from last 3 years. Can be cleaned and stored easily. Sometimes charcoal takes little time to start on. After using this can't go back to gas bbq. Only disadvantage i will say if you got a gathering of 10-15 people then its not enough, but for up to 7-8 people its pretty good.

Got this BBQ for a small gathering. It has all basic features u need for barbecuing. Uses charcoal, so u need to be mindful about the temperature as it's hard to control. This BBQ was perfect for me as it fit perfectly on my small balcony apartment & it's very portable. I would recommend using it for smaller gatherings of 5-15 pks

We love this Weber compact kettle. Should of bought a bigger one. Gas ignition...you cant get these ones anymore for safety reasons. Just wished my husband didn't cremate every thing he cooks on it. You can smoke stuff on this BBQ. Easy to keep clean. Light enough to move around. Bought in 2010 and still going.

Cooking on coals is the best way to BBQ without a doubt. Once you get familiar with making hot and cold zones and get compfortable with the heat that this can achieve it is far superior to any gas bbqs I have ever used. Can also and smoking woods for an extra dimension would highly recommend fig wood

The Weber Charcoal Compact Kettle is perfect on the deck for cooking a roast, grilling meat, making cakes, the recipes are endless, has a temperature gauge to keep an eye on the heat, great size as can fit a few dishes in at once & give a nice charcoal flavour to the meat, overall love it

While it can be a tad of a pain to clean, the quality of cooking ability via the coal method us amazing. There are memories invoked of a childhood gone, but the food cooked in it is great and has the taste that can only be able to be had from slow cooking. If you don't mind a bit of a clean up, this is a one for you.

Hi every one. I bought this BBQ last April and I am still using it. it is very simple to use. no hassle. it is safe and you can cover it up whenever you do not want to use it. because of wheels, you can move it very easy even if you are a lady.

This is the great size to suit our area, cooks really well & the family really look forward the meat being cooked with charcoal flavour. It is easy to clean and love the wheel to be able to move around with ease. Perfect bbq and cant fault it at all.

This is a solid charcoal BBQ with a lid and adjustable vents at the top and bottom. It's convenient to wheel around and can be disassembled to fit in the boot of a car or even just for storage. Cleaning it is a bit of chore - but that will be the case for most charcoal BBQs. Minor issue: I keep it stored outside (on the balcony) and I've noticed some rust building up.

The Weber Kettle allows you to do so much from fast BBQ grilling, smoking and slow cooking. The lid allows you get that charcoal flavour. You can use briquettes or charcoal and it's ideal to get a chimney to pre-light your coals to reduce the heat up time. It's easy to store, clean & maintain and comes in a few colours.

Had one of these served me well but with moving house I went for a gas fired OK it was quicker but no character & after 4 yrs was rusting badly so instead of replacing parts I purchased another weber 57cm takes a lot longer but makes the meal an event not just an outside cooker tastes far better as well

overall the weber compact kettle is perfect for our family and great even if you already have a gas bbq i would recommend getting this as a second one, perfect to take away with you if you are going away for a while cause it doesnt take up much space, cooks meat perfectly yum yum so delicious
great size, perfect for a family of 3, nice and compact so doesnt take up much space so perfect for anyone who maybe just has a balcony as their backyard, love the taste of food cooked over charcoal so much better then gas,
no cons at all

Is great, we spent a little extra to get this one with the ash dispenser, model under was just a tray, and on a windy day would be blowing all around the barbeque area also we were told by many people it would continually burn out and we would need to convert to gas, but we did all our poultry for Chritmas day, all kinds of roasts, and we do live in a windy coastal area, so far not a problem and the flavour of the meat is superb..top marks for this one!
Ash dispenser, cooks with a wonderful flavour..
