Product Description
Weber's One-Touch Gold kettle grill is a great buy for anyone looking for a classic model with a few convenient extras. The design is sleek. The results are delicious.

As with all Weber grills, this kettle's lid and bowl are constructed of premium porcelain-enameled steel--which means not only does heat radiate evenly, but the grill will survive if it's left out in the rain. The cooking surface (22-1/2 inches in diameter) is big enough to accommodate six large steaks, twice as many burgers, or up to a dozen kebabs, and the grill's classic kettle shape keeps flare-ups to a minimum.

When designing this grill, Weber clearly kept convenience in mind. The grill's nickel-plated grate has two built-in hinged side openings that make adding more charcoal briquettes easy and safe, and, when the lid's not in use, it can hang from the bowl by a handy hook. The grill is durable, too. The porcelain-coated steel bowl and lid are exceptionally strong and designed never to rust, fade, or peel. The grill's aluminum vents and ash catcher won't rust either, and its tripod base, nylon handles, and all-weather wheels--besides being exceptionally sturdy--make the grill remarkably easy to maneuver. Weber's patented One-Touch cleaning system--a clever setup of lever-activated blades--sifts ash out of the kettle and into a cooking-pot-shaped ash catcher. You never have to get your hands dirty--and emptying the kettle takes only a few seconds.

To top it all off, Weber throws in a 31-page owner's guide filled with cooking tips and time-tested recipes for grilling everything from pork chops to bratwurst to Cornish hens.

You're probalby thinking that there's no reason to update the 10-year-old Weber you've got in your back yard. Well, turns out Weber has made some smart improvements over the years-- the new "gold" model is worth the upgrade.

The ash-catcher is super, the one-touch vent system is a big improvement (no more knocking each vent with a trowel), the plastic handles stay cooler... you get the idea. Nothing dramatic, but good progress.

But here's the clincher: setting one of these up (takes about 20 minutes, even if you make a mistake or two) just makes you feel like you're in heaven. It's summer embodied. People rhapsodize about the new car small... well, fughettaboutit. The look of a shiny new grill that you've assembled yourself is about as good as it gets.

Highly recommended accessory: the charcoal companion. Put your lighter fluid (or your MatchLight) away and use this instead-- it works flawlessly, and it's better for the environment.

Hard to beat

When it came time for us to get a new charcoal grill I searched every site and checked out dozens of different grills, some costing many hundreds of dollars, all promising some advantage.

Some units were really interesting, and not too expensive, but upon close inspection many of these proved to be tinny and cheaply made. The very expensive systems were very nice, but did not offer rotisseries and other useful accessories and were just too expensive for us anyway.

So, we ended up with another Weber, the Gold Model. In the many years since our last Weber, there have been a lot of improvements that kept it attractive. The ash catcher really does make cleanup much easier and the vent system is more functional. The grill itself has the new flip-up hatches that allow you to add more coals and move them around without having to lift up the grill. I did that all the time with the old grill.

The optional little bent-wire style of charcoal retainers do help to keep the coals out to the side when you want to use a drip pan in the center.

Others have recommended the chimney style charcoal start for ecological reasons. It is also just plain faster to use as well, and it is made of heavy gauge metal that is both attractive and long-lasting.

I love the optional rotisserie (see those reviews) and it comes with an extension ring that is also useful for other cooking options.

We got the green colored kettle and it looks very nice on the patio. The general design and those odd white-wall tires give it a kind of vintage look.

This is a well-made and very functional grill with all sorts of interesting available accessories that really work well. There is a reason for the popularity of the Weber. I looked, I bought. Hard to beat.
Solid Grill With Only One Complaint
 
Review Date: July 1, 2006
Reviewer: Carolyn Vo,
We bought this grill as our first grill based on reviews. The Weber grill is a solidly built grill. You don't feel they skimped on materials when they built this. Assembly was only difficult when installing the base ring for the ash catcher but once I got past that, it was easy. The metal grate for the charcoal is smart for allowing air to come up beneath the charcoals, helping keep them hot, which the cooking grate is smartly designed, with two sides able to be flipped up so that you can add more charcoal if you need to. The two handles on the cooking grate make it easy to move the grate. The wheels make it easy to roll the grill around, although I would have preferred rubber wheels as opposed to plastic wheels.

The only complaint I have about this grill is that the handle for the lid can get really hot when it's been sitting on the grill for a while. You can remedy this by wearing a grilling mitt when removing the lid. I'm not sure if a wood handle would make a difference. Just a minor complaint.

The big cooking grate is terrific. I can throw all kinds of stuff on the grill at once and it doesn't matter where it lies, if you spread your coals evenly, everything cooks great whether on the outskirts of the sides of the grate or on the center of the grate. I attribute this to the Weber design and the grill's ability to distribute heat evenly and well.

The ash catcher is one of the nicest features on this grill. If you are trying to decide between the silver and the gold Weber grill, make no mistake that this is the better option hands down. The ash plate on the silver model will most likely get filled up with ash quickly, not to mention it is a possible fire hazard if hot charcoal bits fall off the side of the ash plate. The ash catcher on the gold model is like a pan and can hold a lot of ash and hot charcoal bits with no problem. Spend a little bit more and get the better feature and you won't regret it.
Weber is a great company

I'll admit from the start that I'm biased. I swear by Weber products. I've been happy with my Smokey Joe, but I just needed a bigger grill. Enter the 22" One Touch Gold. A friend of mine has an 18" One Touch, but I think that the ~$20 price difference is a marginal cost for the extra size. Four inches doesn't seem like a lot of extra room, but it really is.

Installation was a snap. No tools required, except for a hammer to tap the wheels onto the base. The kettle itself is porcelain-enameled, which means it doesn't rust. All of the parts seemed to be built to last. The lid forms a nice seal with the base of the kettle, and the "one touch" vent adjustment works well.

I debated whether to get the Silver version or go for the Gold. The grills are basically identical, but the Gold version has a hinged cooking grate and an enclosed ash catcher (and costs $50 more). The Silver has a standard cooking grate and an ash pan. The hinged cooking grate is an essential feature for anyone who likes to grill indirectly. Adding charcoal or wood chips without disturbing the food on the grill is quick and easy. However, Amazon sells a hinged cooking grate for under $20. I'm not sure if the enclosed ash catcher is worth $30 because you could just set a coffee can on the ash pan. Then again, if the grill lasts about 10 years (which it should with proper care), then it's only $3 more per year.

I saved the best for last. I noticed that the assembly manual pictured two parts, a pair of charcoal rails, that were not included in the box. I called Weber customer support, and they explained that the wrong manuals were sent out with some of the grills, and I wasn't actually missing the charcoal rails. Then they offered to send me the charcoal rails for free anyway! That kind of customer service is rare in my opinion and sets Weber apart. I'm very confident that they'll stand behind their products if anything happened to go wrong.

To sum up:
THE GOOD
- quality construction
- great customer service
- good ventilation
- lots of cooking area
- hinged cooking grate
- enclosed ash catcher
THE BAD
- Silver version may be a better value

(I bought this grill for my husband's birthday. He wrote the review)

This is the cadillac of grills. Real grillers/BBQ'ers know the only way to do it is with a ketlle grill and lump charcoal, not those ridiculously expensive propane-driven outdoor stoves.

The size is spacious, plenty of room for a humongous brisket, many thick steaks, a party of burgers, dogs, chicken, pork loins, etc. The top grate's side loaders are convenient when adding charcoal or wood chips for replenishing indirect heat + smoking. My one complaint is that the grill's legs are a bit cheesy, I'd have preferred more heavy duty metal.

The ash catcher works very well, and when left open, adds a nice oxygen source from the bottom.

Its plastic handles remain cool to the touch even with extreme heat inside the bowl.

Don't be swayed by the Home Depot $150 specials, this is ALL you need for luxury grilling.

I built in charcoal at home, but because I prefer the gas grill with a large qty and simply want to turn on and off as appropriate. Calling places suggested the purchase of an insert, but is very expensive. I guess you can buy "replacement" parts for a gas grill and mount the insert into charcoal and connect the gas (which is like 30 meters away)
Any suggestions on how to start?

As the light Spring months descend upon us and the grills start out in earnest to nearly every backyard and deck, the old question resurfaces of which is better: gas or charcoal barbecue grills, and why? What really comes down a few key features that each offers to the consumer. What are your priorities, such as cost, taste, energy, etc. in a grid determines the type of barbecue is right for you. In this article we will discuss some of the most important aspects of gas and charcoal barbecue below to help you find the way to the right kind of grid.
Convenience
Many people opt for a grid according to the convenience associated with it. It 'easy to pass? It takes some time to cook? How easy it is cooking, gas grills win. With a gas grill, turn on the gas button, press the power button, and voila: a kitchen can start in ten minutes. With a grid, but if it is simple enough to light the charcoal briquettes, it takes on average about 30 minutes to get a medium heat grill. Then, depending on your lifestyle and how often you use the grill, you have the time may or may not.
Maintenance
Care for the grid, as well as the needs of all worldly goods, is also a factor to consider when choosing a gas or charcoal. Hands down, the gas grill is easier to clean. . Many people pay only the meat before, vegetables, grilled fish burn first, and run once during the wash. Grill, however, the disorder is more pronounced, and requires maintenance of cleanliness in general much more often a gas grill.
Taste
Now when it comes to taste, which is where the level playing field a little ', compared to many people fish, steaks, hamburgers, and whatever you choose to grill taste more flavorful and smoky coal compared to gas barbecue grill. It would be logical that your food is burned directly on charcoal briquettes and then take the rich smoky flavor of the brick, while the gas flame does not propose to char-smoky taste, unless you cook the food longer.
Fuel Economy
When it comes to fuel economy of the barbecue, it is also important to recognize the advantages and disadvantages of fuel / grill choices. The gas grill operates on a tank of propane gas, which, depending on the frequency of your usage, can last a whole summer without being replaced by another. Briquettes of coal, on the other hand, does not take long for everyone to use, you must be willing to make frequent visits to the stores for bags of charcoal, if you're a fan of shine. During the summer, gas grill propane tank will last longer than for trips that I had to do to replace the coal briquette making the economics of coal more expensive.
Price
When it comes to barbecue and prices, the range is rather wide. Typically, gas grills are $ 150 to over $ 1000. Charcoal, on the other, ranging from $ 50 to $ 450. So, once again, it comes down to how much you spend and what conveniences, if you need a grid.

OK, this may seem a silly question, but I never created coal. We expect a barbecue in the park tomorrow and I'll be cooking grills there. What are the steps to create a coal?
