Weber Original Kettle 18 in. Charcoal Grill (441001)

The 18 in. Original Kettle is the smaller version of Weber’s classic, a good fit for couples, small patios and balconies where charcoal grilling is allowed. It cooks exactly like its larger sibling, with a domed lid for indirect cooking and adjustable vents for temperature control.

For burgers, steaks and vegetables, spread lit charcoal evenly and cook over direct heat with the lid on. For chicken pieces, roasts and anything that needs longer, bank the coals to one side and cook on the other side with the lid closed; the kettle then works like an oven. Open the top and bottom vents for more heat and close them partway to cool the fire. Close both vents fully when you are done to put the coals out and save leftover charcoal for next time.

Highlights
