Overview
Not a basic kettle, this Weber Original Kettle Premium adds a lid thermometer and a hinged cooking grate to the classic porcelain body. Dampers control airflow and a One-Touch system clears ash.
The hinged grate makes it simple to add charcoal mid-cook, and the thermometer lets you track heat without lifting the lid. The listing's included components field mentions only a lid.
Who it's for
A backyard cook who grills and smokes on charcoal and values easy refueling. A buyer who wants push-button heat should choose a gas grill.
Pros and cons
- Hinged cooking grate
- Ten year warranty
- Included items not listed
- Dimension entries disagree
- Heat control by dampers only
Performance notes
Air enters through the bottom dampers and exits through the lid vent, which sets coal temperature, and the thermometer shows the dome air heat. A hinged grate lets you add fuel without lifting the food.
