perfect size for 2
My husband is crazy about this grill. Uses less charcoal, cooks quickly, easily and true to temp. Easy to clean and light yo put away. He has abandoned the gas grill.

Always a winner!
This new Weber grill is made as well, if not better than the many I grew up around. The most improved feature is the lower vents opening/closing mechanism. Great improvement off the old, where it was three separate vents- and will likely last longer! LOVE my new grill - I only use Weber!!

I can’t stop cooking on it!
It is a Weber and there’s a reason they’ve been around since before I was. They can do most anything. Mine is mostly used to just grill up dinner for me but I have smoked a pork tenderloin that turned out spectacular and tomorrow I’m smoking my first pork butt. Of course I’m already wishing I got the 22” and not the 18” but we’ll make it work.

Weber 18" charcoal grill
My 40 year old 18" Weber was still working, but was wearing away so I bought a new one. I am not sure why, but the coals take longer to heat up. I use it almost weekly year round so I hope to get used to it. Can't live without it!!!

Simple grill that does the job!!!
This is a great grill, overall. I’ve used Weber grills for at least 10 years, and appreciate their simple, but effective approach to grilling. Their grills are phenomenal at retaining heat, managing airflow, and enduring the elements. The only issue I have with this 18” grill, is the catch tray. If it isn’t securely locked in place with the spring clamps, it can easily be knocked over, spilling ashes everywhere.

Wonderful Charcoal Grill
This charcoal grill is the perfect size when cooking for about three people. It is a sturdy grill and lightweight. The grill is easy to use and it cooks the food with an even temperature.

My first grill cook-out in years was magnificent!
Allowing a maximum of air-flow cooked cheeseburgers' to perfection. Everyone ate two or more and sides were included.

Great compliment to my other Weber grills
Bought this to round out my collection. I have a 22 premium, a Smokey Joe and a Go Anywhere. All great grills and get used frequently. My wife and I are empty nesters now, and I don't cook for large groups as much as I used to. I found myself needing something intermediate sized for times the 22 was too big, and the others were a tad too small. This fills the gap perfectly and uses less fuel than the 22. I've pretty much dedicated this as my hot and fast grill using lump charcoal. Couldn't be more pleased.

Mine is a replacement
My new 18 inch kettle is a replacement for my old one from 25 years ago. Cook after cook, it's dependable.

Experienced Weber User
This grill is supplemental to my Genesis. Since 1975, I’ve owned a Smokey Joe, a Kettle Grill, a Performer, a Smokey Mountain and a Genesis. So I have a lot of experience with Weber. I love this little 18 1/2” Kettle Grill. If I feel like the flavor of charcoal over the Genesis one night, it’s an easy transition. If I feel like low and slow smoking (225-250) I can do that too. I can get still a nice smoke ring using it. (My WSM is at our cabin.) I did add the ash pan to it. It’s extremely easy to install and makes cleaning the kettle much easier. Also I use an oven thermometer inside the kettle for insurance on the temp. I’d highly recommend it. RC.

As to be expected from weber. Top notch quality and the most versatile groll on the market since the 50's.
