Our verdict

A charcoal kettle for cooks who want fan-regulated heat and phone monitoring while still burning real coals. The powered controller adds complexity, and the side accessories are sold separately.

Overview

A backyard cookout with a prep surface close at hand is what this charcoal kettle on a cart is built for. A digital fan blows air into the coals under a Wi-Fi controller, and a Rapidfire assist mode stokes the coals after you light a fire starter.

Weber puts a digital fan and a Wi-Fi controller on a familiar kettle, so long cooks and overnight smoking need less tending. Smartphone control runs through the Weber Connect app. The limitation is that the Weber Works side table and rail take accessories that are not included.

Who it's for

A patio cook who smokes or roasts for hours and would rather adjust the fire from a phone than lift the lid. The cart adds a prep table and a storage shelf in the same footprint. A cook who prefers a purely manual kettle will not need the powered fan.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Digital fan regulates coal heat
  • Wi-Fi control through the Weber Connect app
  • Rapidfire Assist mode helps coals catch
  • Cart with prep table and storage shelf
Cons
  • Powered fan and Wi-Fi add electronics
  • Side table accessories sold separately
  • Only two wheels on the cart
  • Cooking grate area not listed

Performance notes

The fan feeds air to the coals under controller regulation, so the fire is held by airflow rather than by vent changes alone. Manual dampers remain for adjusting temperature inside the bowl. The hinged grate and lid holder make refueling during a long cook less disruptive.
