Summary: TweetI have been asked if I think the Weber Kettle is the best charcoal grill on the market. My answer to that is a definitive no. The next question then is why do you love it so much. Well first in my opinion it is the best charcoal grill under 200 dollars on the market, perhaps the best (from a versatility stand point) under 400 dollars. Next is how portable it is. While full sized, you can toss it in a truck bed with ease due to its light weight. Secure it with a bungee or a ratchet strap and you are good to go. Sure the “Big Green Egg” is better in many ways but I can’t load it into my truck for a tail gate party with no effort at all. I can also buy two Weber’s, Charcoal and a quarter beef or a pastured pig for less than one full sized Big Green Egg. Another reason I love it, is this is the grill our Grandfathers and Great Grandfathers cooked with. This grill was first released in 1952. This is the grill packed into the back of 47 Fords and 45 Chevy trucks and taken out to the country side by the post war generation while raising the baby boomers. It became a symbol of our freedom in our nation, to go where we wanted and see our beautiful country. No other grill can really make this claim. Many have come and gone but after 65 years the Weber is possibly more popular than ever, with a loyal cult following that even Jimmy Buffett would envy.
