I used to have a large smoker with a chimney stack. The Webber Grill One Touch Gold 22.5 is more effecient for smoking. With the ash catcher you don't experience blowing ash. The catcher also makes it easy to dispose of the ashes. I use less charcoal and wood. I wish it were taller. ecandy Kindle Cover & Case with Reversible Zip Closure in Black Licorice Paisley (Fits 6" Display, Global Wireless, Latest Generation Kindle) -- Better than a Brinkman
I have used Weber grills for many years with great results. This one has features that enhance the grilling experience. The ash collecter makes clean up easy and neat. With the larger grill and the folding sides, I can use indirect heat easily and efficiently. In the short time I have had my new Weber, I have smoked a small turkey, a pork roast and a meat loaf. Well done, Weber. -- Great Grill
As this was the first summer for my wife and I in our first house, I needed a grill. I can't afford the $400 for the Weber Spirit gas grill yet, so I researched charcoal, as I like the flavor it brings to the meat better anyway.
This grill does not disappoint. I used to have a cheap $40 charcoal grill in college and in comparison, I can say the Weber One-Touch Gold is much more durable and built to last.
The One-Touch cleaning system and ash catcher are both very convenient. I had debated getting the model without the ash catcher, but am glad I got it. Assembly was really simple, took 20 minutes while watching a ballgame.
One thing I will say is a MUST-HAVE accessory (that I saw other reviewers pointed out) would be the chimney starter. It doesn't have to be the Weber one either, I picked up a cheaper one at Home Depot for only $7 and it does the job just fine. But, man, does it make lighting the charcoal easier. No lighter fluid, just some newspaper and you'll have red hot coals in about 15 minutes...Happy Grilling! -- Superb charcoal grill
I have been using a Weber Charcoal grill for 30 years. I have loved them. One of the best thing Weber has done was to replace the metal handle with the wood handles. I just bought a Weber for my daughter for a wedding present and the new plastic or composite handles, in my point of view are one of if not the worst thing Weber has done. The wood handles are great. There is no Waring's anywhere that I saw that told you the handles get "very" hot! My son in law grabbed the handle on the new BBQ I just gave them and he almost dropped the lid and almost burnt his hand. After years of use I am not very happy about this. I just told them how great Weber's are then he almost burns himself -- Plastic Handles
We have cooked with Weber Kettles for many, many years and this is just a wonderful updated version of the grill. Much easier to shut down and the food cooks very evenly. -- Grill Daddy
