Lasted 10 years and still going strong!!!!

published

Nothing beats a nice wagyu steak on a weber bbq, I've had mine for over 10 years and it must have done hundreds of bbq's during that time. It's literally unbreakable, I just keep it outside where it bears the brunt of rain, hail and sun without any problems.
I've fed over 30 people at a time, I recommend using real wood coal rather than bbq briquettes because you can definitely taste the difference.

After almost 50 years still the best

published

Still a fantastic product despite only minor changes, over the last few decades. Yes loved the old wood handles - but they did rot, so okay with the new ones.
If you want a charcoal bbq that will do everything from low and slow, to super hot steering you can not go wrong with a Weber Kettle.

While it might be slightly more than similar items from cometitors - it comes with a 10Y warrenty, with excellent customer service - and will last a life time.

Everything tastes great cooked on the Weber! Very Hardy, no maintenance.

published

Can cook anything and everything on the Weber, especially low and slow meats like beef jerky or kleftiko lamb. Indirect heat method or direct method of cooking simply achieved, just move charcoal baskets under the grill. No maintenance required for any of it yet after 17 years! Simply constructed. Very robust. Ash is simple to remove, just pull lever side to side. Did buy a cheap cover to throw over during winter months which has been replaced a few times.

Inherited this - love it!

published

I inherited (nicked) this from the old man. It's at least 15 years old I think because I remember it when I was a kid and they have not changed at all. Gave it a clean up and bought some charcoal - 20 minutes late BBQ heaven. Smokey and delicious like I remember. This is the way to go people, gas barbies are not REAL barbies!

The classic cannot be beaten

published

I went to this after a series (two) of meh gas barbies. They were OK but I never got the delicious meats I remember from my childhood. My wife bought me this for a Christmas present and at first I was underwhelmed but since i have been into it I am in barbeque heaven! I can get THE BEST sear on steaks again and experimented with some marinades over summer. I did a Chinese style red glaze on pork that was just mouth watering. There is simply nothing like charcoal. I am very happy with this barbie.

Happy BBQing

published

I've been a fan for 25 years you can't beat a BBQ in one of these. never mind the lighting and cleaning the flavour takes care of that and for anyone getting there first you should go to youtube and watch a few videos of just what you can do with one of these. Happy BBQing.

To me, low and slow is the only way to go and Weber is the best. There is a reason why people love these things. It might take a little bit of time and effort but the results are well worth it. I love mine and can't wait to get more.

Love it.

published

I have been a fan of charcoal fired webers my entire life. My father always cooked with them, and in my 17 years of adulthood I have cooked hundreds of meals for hundreds of people and it has never failed to produce tasty Smokey flavoured meat and vegetables. Definately recommend adding charcoal cooking to your skillset, and the weber kettles will never disappoint.

The best thing ever

published

The best thing ever built and made. The perfect cooking. The smell. The taste. The crackle. The crunch. Nothing compares to it. No other brand compares. We use ours at last 2-3 times a week and i cook roast with veggies. Pizza. Bread. Name it we tried it. It really works. And it is fun to hang around fire. Best part it it last 10 years easy if looked after even with our use and i consider it more than normal people would use it.
You can not go wrong with this.

Love the Classic Design

published

My dad gave me this and I didnt even bother using it for the first few months. What a revelation when I finally did! This thing grills the most delicious steak possible and there is no better way to do satays. There is just no beating actual glowing fire as compared to gas. OK it makes more mess and you need to clean it more but it's brilliant and you can really see how these original Webers set the whole trend for kettle BBQs

The best BBQ for low and slow

published

I have had this for a very long time, It sits out in the rain and weather and after 20 years it is still good. The heat bead baskets are a great idea as is the recesses in the bottom grill to hold the firelighters when starting. The aluminium tray to catch the ash has become rather dented over the years, but is still usable. The pain work is rust free and the aluminium legs are in good condition.

Nothing tastes quite as good

published

When we were looking for a new BBQ we found this on special, I was sceptical going charcoal over gas but everything I cook on it tastes amazing! Construction is very solid, much better than most cheaper BBQ's these days. Plus you can easily smoke food on here, try charcoal for cooking chicken.

Low and Slow, Hot and Fast - Does it all

published

I love my Weber, I couldn't be without it now. Use it low and slow for American style BBQ - Ribs, Pulled Pork, Brisket or Hot and Fast - perfect for Pizzas. The amount of flavour you can get with these things, not even a sausage is just a sausage after the Weber treatment. 10/10 WILL BUY AGAIN - when and if this one burns out! 10 year warranty too!

Great addition to the family gatherings

published

Highly recommend the premium kettle, the ash catcher has eliminated the need to sweep up the floor after low and slow cooking. Enough space to cook 3 chickens, and perfect for the end of cook sear. I am an owner of an Weber gas bbq, and couldn't be happier with this second Weber purchase.

Good family BBQ.

published

We got the rectangle carry one and love it! So at my Daughter's birthday we went to get a new bigger one. Quite expensive but expect it too last long. Easier to wash and stronger than the other similar look one we got. It's come with the booklet that could help us manage to do others menu which we didn't try yet. It's look nice on our balcony but with out cover it still can get rust around the edge. So far we are happy with Weber.

Charcoal chicken heaven

published

Weber consistently make high grade quality bbq products. The Weber kettle is beyond amazing when it comes to delivering that authentic charcoal taste, giving you melt in your mouth meats and poultry with smokey flavours that go well with a cold one. It's very easy to wheel around and air flow easy to control to get that perfect temperature.

Great deal.

I have tried other types of BBQ's but keep coming back to the good reliable Weber. The meat is always perfect, the vegetables crisp and nicely cooked . Xmas time is the time to cook everything on the 2 Weber's. Can't live without my Weber . Excellent product. A little hard to get used to, but worth it. Achieves great flavour.
