abunda_amazon_reviews I've always purchased used Weber Kettle grills from yard or garage sales, and never purchased full price for one since the used ones always have done the job. However, for Fathers Day 2018 my wife wanted to get me my very own Kettle that is new. So we go the 22" Green Premium Kettle. It arrived through Amazon in a couple days. Installation wasn't that bad. I agree with most of the folks that the instructions could be better. The legs are very tough to install, a key tool I used was a paper clip in order to get the snap to go just right. So you'll need one of these thing handy to get the legs on. Once the grill was installed (15min.), getting smoke rolling is quick. My first cook was the following: 1. Jerk Chicken Legs 2. Stuffed Clams 3. Baked Potatoes and Steak It's a lot of food, but I had to break her in and she did a fantastic job!! The family loved all the food. Clean up was easy with it. I just swept all the ashes to the bottom and then removed the ash tray which is quick and fast. Love this green cooking machine and it will last a very long time!;;Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;My First Weber Kettle !!;;Henvir26;;;First off, I have to tell you that this is the first grill I have ever used. As a single woman, I was never interested in grilling until I bought a house two years ago and built a deck in the backyard. With all that outdoor space to enjoy, I just knew I needed a grill for entertaining (and feeding) family and friends. I thought I might buy a grill and just let my dad or brother handle the grilling, but much to my surprise I really got into it and loved grilling hamburgers and hot dogs on this Weber kettle grill for my first backyard party just yesterday! I did a lot of research prior to purchasing this grill from Amazon. I chose a charcoal grill over propane because I didn't want to deal with propane tanks (a friend had his grill go up in flames because of a loose hose and nearly burned his house down--No thank you!), I like the taste and smell from charcoal grills more, and most importantly because of the cost. It was less expensive to get a nice charcoal grill like this one than to get an equally nice propane grill. The entry cost into grilling was more reasonable with a charcoal grill. This freed up funds to get some important accessories, which I recommend to anyone buying this grill: a chimney starter, grilling tools like tongs, fork, etc, a steel brush to clean the grates, the Weber Fire starter cubes, and some heavy duty mitts to protect your hands and forearms while grilling. I purchased all these from Amazon at the same time I purchased the grill. As for choosing a which charcoal grill to get, I chose this model over the lesser expensive model because of the ash catcher, and I'm glad I did. The grill arrived in its original box and was easy to put together on my own, with the exception of attaching the ash catcher itself. But I just kept trying (and referring to the picture-only instructions) and eventually got it. It was put together in about 40 minutes, and that was putting it together myself. One of the best things I did was lookup videos online about this grill to see how it was used and put together. I learned about closing the vents on the lid and on the bottom to reduce heat, and how to quickly get the charcoal ready for grilling by using a chimney starter and Weber Fire Starter cubes (which I highly recommend getting). As my brother and dad arrived to my house yesterday for our Memorial Day BBQ, each were skeptical about this charcoal grill because they have propane grills at home and like the convenience of them. "It will take an hour to get to coals ready," said my brother. "Those burgers are way too thick to cook through. They'll be raw in the middle," said my dad. Both were surprised when the charcoal was ready within about 20 minutes using the chimney! And after getting some nice grill marks on both sides of the burgers, I put the lid on and closed the vents to let them finish cooking the middle of the burgers in a lower heat. The burgers turned out perfectly! The best compliment was Dad and others asking me how I grilled these thick burgers so well without burning them to dust. LOL! It's all in the vents! And I think investing in an awesome grill helped, too. My brother and dad both were asking about the grill by the end of the party. I think they might be considering trading in their propane grills for their own Weber kettle grills soon. ;) Lastly, just a bit of advice to any amateur grill masters like myself out there... Do yourself a favor and start out with this grill. All of the excellent reviews tell you that it's a good grill. The fact that so many experienced backyard chefs keep returning to their Weber kettle grills is very telling. Also, be sure to look up recipes at YouTube. I searched for "hamburger on charcoal grill" and found lots of videos with great advice on getting perfect burgers. And bonus! Nearly all of the people in the videos were using a Weber kettle grill. :);;Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2015;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;First time griller success!;;DesignGirl28;;;We have used a Weber grill like this for the last 45 years. This is our 4th one. This one has been re engineered and it is just awful. We had to scrounge around and find our own hardware to get the handle to fit. The lid hangs on but just barely. Our last one had a nice holder on the side the lid just slid into. The ash can is next impossible to remove. It just barely fits into the receiver and you have to squeeze the handle and shove it just right to attach the can. My hands are not as strong as they used to be but I think this would be difficult for anyone to use. I have to use channel locks and struggle to attach or remove this can. Our last Weber had an ash can that just fit into a slot and then locked by sliding it to the side. I would return this if I could. Very disappointed in a product that we have stood by for many years. I am reluctant to use this grill because I dread to have to dump the ash can.;;Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Worst Weber Ever!!!;;Catherine;;;When we downsized from our big family home to a townhouse with a small balcony, we gave up our large gas grill but we found we really missed grilling. Since we have always preferred the flavor of foods grilled over charcoal to those cooked on the gas grill, we decided to purchase a new charcoal grill. Having had several Webers in various sizes in the past, this grill was a natural choice. My kids and I chipped in and bought it for my very hard-to-buy-for husband for his November birthday. He was thrilled with the rich copper color which we are using as an accent color throughout our home. The grill was easy to assemble, only taking a few minutes. It is sturdy and has a very “quality” look and feel. Normally it is just the two of us eating but the grilling surface is huge and easily accommodates cooking for a crowd. I think we did 12 burgers and a few hot dogs at once for a family party. We have used it for chicken, grilled veggies, steaks, pork roast, grilled pineapple and more. In fact, I rarely turn on my stove now! Once of our favorite easy meals is to add a few extra topping and extra cheese to a frozen pizza and bake it on the hot grill…much better than take-out pizza and so quick and convenient! Back in the day, the ash catchers on charcoal grills were messy and difficult to empty without getting covered in soot. Not so with the new design which does a better job of containing the ashes and makes clean up a breeze. We oil the grates with a little olive oil spray before cooking making cleaning the grates less of a chore. There are other handy “new” features as well such as the lid handle that does not get hot and hooks for hanging your utensils. Most importantly to us, the grill, even with its huge cooking surface, does not take up a lot of space on our tiny deck (not like a bulky gas grill). We love our Weber Kettle and recommend it to anyone looking for a grill.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2018;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Great Weber Quality in a Fantastic New Color;;Deb Rabine;;;Love my barbecue !!;;Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Five Stars;;Alexandra Wlls
