Weber's One-Touch Platinum kettle is a serious grill for serious cooks. Its sturdy, compact design makes great use of space. 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.p The grill's work surface, made of durable Thermoset plastic, provides a handy place to rest platters, cutting boards, and condiments; underneath, hanging hooks keep barbecue utensils right where you need 'em. Inside the grill, convenient movable baskets hold briquettes in tight clusters, allowing you to either focus or disperse the grill's heat to suit the cuisine. Weber's clever tuck-away design allows the lid to slide back out of the way when not in use, which also creates an effective wind barrier when lighting the grill. Once the grill is hot, the glass-reinforced, heat-resistant plastic handles stay cool.p 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.

 Almost perfect June 3, 2007

I love barbecue and barbecueing. I have grilled an average of once every week or two for the past 25 years and have used many, many different grillls. Nothing compares to Weber barbecues for consistently and easily producing excellent grilled food. Following the directions in the accompanying literature or on their website, it is easy to do direct grilling and indirect cooking. With the purchase of a Weber rotisserie, it is easy to make chicken, turkeys, roasts, and other meats better than one can buy in the finest restaurants. With the addition of a BBQ Guru, a bit of ingenuity, and some quality charcoal or wood chips, one can produce smoked meats comparable to what you will find in the best BBQ joints. br / br /Unfortunately, this grill has one flaw: the mount for the ash catcher falls off. I have owned two of these, and both had this problem. My solution is to set the ash catcher on the rack below the grill, but a lot misses it. Because many of the small pieces that fall down are still on fire, I had to move the grill(s) from my wooden deck onto my lawn, which is now a bit of a mess in the area around the grill. br / br /Bottom line: Weber charcoal barbecues are the best value for the money and are capable of making divine grilled, roasted, rotisseried, and smoked meats (and vegetables), but they are not all that well-made. Some problems are inevitable and they eventually rust out and fall apart if you don't cover them in wet weather (I never do).
 Great choice for charcoal BBQ December 7, 2006

I have always been a Weber fan and this grill made me even more so. Gas grills might be debateable, but when is comes to charcoal grills, it's hard to beat Weber. I had a regular Weber kettle grill for years before deciding to upgrade to this one. I love the work space it provides to set plates, pans, bowls etc...on. Not sure what the counter top is made of but it is highly durable and easy to keep clean. I have stained it and not gotten back to cleaning it right away and have never had a problems getting it scrubbed up. I little scouring pad and some cleaner is all that is needed. The one touch system with ash catcher works great and is a Weber original. The only problem I have had with it is haivng to replace one of the nuts that attaches the lid holder to the grill. I could not begin to count the number of hours upon hours this grill has been in use since I purchased it. I chalk it up to one of the best purchases I've made.

While this seems to be a good price, the shipping markup seems a bit high. Amazon is charging $139 to ship this product, $40 more than if you order directly from their supplier Dynadirect. If you search you can find the grill elsewhere for as low as $185 with the more realistic shipping charge of $39.99.
excellent grill December 15, 2004

One of the best grills I've ever used. Quality of materials workmanship I rate excellent. Its also nice to see a product still made in the USA, hats off to management and workers for a job well done!!!! I only hope Weber continues to produce their grills here. br / br /Works very well for indirect method of grill cooking. I use the charcoal baskets almost every time I grill. I've had this grill for about 3 months now. One thing I've noticed is my charcoals last a lot longer in this grill if you close the bottom top vents right away after your finished grilling. The money I save in charcoal will probably pay for the grill in one year, I grill almost everyday. Charcoal didn't last as long in my cheaper grill. br / br /One reason I picked this grill was the work table, its handy to put stuff on, its why I picked this model over their others.. It was very easy to assemble, I had it unpacked and assembled in 1 hour . The one touch system works very well. One thing that concerned me was that its lower in height than some of the other grills,( I'm tall), but after using it the height seems just about right after all. br / br /Overall an excellent grill. I would recommend it to everyone. Its more expensive than some but I think this will last a lot longer.
