Quality of the Weber Kettle
Simply the best made Kettle grill of all time! It is built like a tank! The grill operates flawlessly and cooks food to perfection! Only buy the original kettle from the company that invented them, Weber! I have tried others and they don't last.

This was a replacement for an older trusted grill.
Updated materials, but still reliable. This replaced an 18inch model over twenty years old.

The Best Charcoal Grill
We have always used a Weber Charcoal Grill. You can’t beat grilling over charcoal for the best taste. The quality is excellent and a great value. I would definitely recommend this grill to family and friends.

Great grill at a great price
Simple and functional does a perfect job. The installation is pretty straightforward.
The ashes cleaning system with the long handle is very convenient and well designed as the handle stays cool.

18" grill is perfect for 2 people
Second 18" grill I've owned - wore the first one out. For two people who like grilling, the 18" grill is perfect. Direct or indirect heat, great for everything from fish to steaks to veggies.

Good old Weber kettle. Just can't be beat. I also own an original K-Mart by Weber from the mid 70's. It's still going strong!

Assembly Directions
Best assembly directions ever ! The combination of the printed directions booklet in the shipping box and the video directions on Bilt was fantastic ! All the pieces and parts were in the box, too. The assembly process went very smoothly.

Worthwhile purchase
We've owned Weber kettles for years. This was a replacement for one that we gave our son to use. It works as well as ever, and the new handle design is nice.

Love my Weber
Perfect size for a single man. Great quality. I have a Smoky Joe , but I wanted something taller and about the same diameter. This is perfect for me. I am 71 and don't like to bend that much.

Repeat Customer
This is our fourth 18" Weber in almost 40 years! We love the improvements that have been made for this new one with the retention buttons on the legs and the heat shield around the lid handle. This is our only grill in a gas grill world. I also bought the bag cove to try to make it last longer.

18" versus 22"
After my last 18" grill of 30 years finally gave out I replaced it with your 22" one. That one took longer to start and burned hotter. I decided to return to the 18" one. The 22" will only be used for large parties.

This is to replace my old grill ( this is my 3rd 18" ). I've also got a 22" and a Smokey Joe ( for camping). I enjoy the quality of the grills and the way it cooks. I've been using Weber grills since the early 80's and wouldn't have anything else.

Perfect small kettle
It was time to replace the old propane grill that was too large for my needs, so I decided to return to charcoal grilling. The Weber 18” is the perfect size for my needs, as I usually am grilling for one and sometimes for small groups. The air vents help with cooking and it’s super easy to drop the ashes for disposal. The little collection tray that comes with the grill is inadequate, so I simply set an old porcelain pan on it to collect the ashes. Easy peasy. Nothing against propane, but I am loving cooking with charcoal and wood chips for hamburgers, angus beef dogs, salmon, veggies, maybe more. I wanted a small grill to store in the garage when not in use and this goes through the service door with room to spare. The Weber grill is a quality product…my first Weber and I am thrilled with it.

Awesome Grill
I think I made a good selection I’ve always wanted a Weber Grill but I think I should have gotten a 22 inch instead of a 18 but I’m going to enjoy just the same I have not used it yet but I’m going to real soon 💯

I bought this because I wanted to use charcoal instead of gas. It’s just right and surprised me with the features it has. Worked great. I am impressed with the little grill.

Awesome grill for the money.
I'm very happy with the Weber 18" grill, holds the heat well and has plenty of room for XL lump charcoal. I've only had hamburgers and T-Bones so far, both were great. Will try smoking pork once I've learned how to control the temperature, it rises to 300+ really quick. I don't have the problem with the handle on the lid getting hot as mentioned in some of the older reviews but it appears the newer models have a heat shield that solved the problem.
I recommend watching a YouTube video on assembly, it will save you time and eliminate problems, takes about 15 minutes with the video help.

Basics
We moved to a small patio home and I tried a popular pellet grill and it lasted one season before breaking. I went back to basics, an 18” Weber charcoal and am glad I did. It just works and performs like my Webers from years ago. For 2 of now grilling 2-3 times a month it’s perfect. Assembly was easy 30-45 minutes. Delivery was timely as advertised.

Best & Easy grilling for Anyone
I’m 74 and have used Weber grills since my early 20’s, ya, about 50 years. Why am I on grill #5 ?
Durability relates to Value. Consistency. There is a real methodology to grilling on a Weber

Great little cooker
Webers are great little cookers . I love the taste of food made in these things ., that natural wood flavour etc. I have a smaller one I’ve had for years and And still going strong . I use that one for the trailer and one I just bought for home . I use to be a gas bbqer for years and for years had stop cooking with gas once I started using these bbqers . I don’t think I’m going back anytime soon .

It's a Classic
We buy one of these about every five years. It's the best charcoal BBQ there is. In about five years, a number of parts have failed. Rather than trying to fix or replace, it's easier to just buy a new one.
