Master Touch 22: Deep Ocean Blue Charcoal Grill

The lightweight construction and wheels on two of the three legs made the Weber reasonably easy to move or reposition on pavement. While the Weber is nearly perfect in its simplicity, I do wish they had given this premium model bigger, better wheels. As is, it requires some effort to roll the grill through the grass into storage or when the kids need the yard for a soccer game or water fight. A minor complaint for sure, but I think it is an easy and obvious fix. Perfect for those looking to save space, Weber electric grills are compact, durable and built to last.

The One-Touch cleaning system provides hassle free charcoal ash and debris clean up. The angled Lid Hook conveniently help to hang your Lid to the side whereas the precise heat control helps in controlling the temperature inside the grill without opening the Grill. The Durable, easy to clean, plated steel Cooking Grates retains heat for even and consistent barbequing. If you do not have a grill, the Weber Original Kettle Premium 22” Charcoal Grill is the place to start. For those new to cooking outdoors, the Weber makes it easy to learn to grill over a flame; you’ll look like an old hand in no time.

As a preventative, you’ll want to oil the meats and veggies before they go on to prevent sticking and extra scraping. Once you’ve found the perfect Weber grill, shop top-rated Weber grill tools and accessories to help make the grilling process even easier. Browse charcoal, smoking chips, grilling tools, grill covers and more from our collection of top-rated Weber products. You also can create a three-zone fire, which provides even more flexibility. Then, slope the coals down to a single layer across the center of the grill, and place no coals on the opposite side. When the coals are completely ashen and have burned down for 10 to 20 minutes more, after being emptied from the chimney—voila!

We found a slight variation in heat between the center and outsides of the grill, though more noticeable with the lid open. In the end, these issues were minor, as the E-325s topped our list of the best gas grills. The 26-inch Original Kettle® Premium is the charcoal grill you want at your next party.

The materials—rustproof aluminum legs, porcelain-coated steel for the body, and a nickel-plated steel grill—are designed to last. And we appreciated details like convenient tool hooks on the side handles. Add to that its solid warranty and well-regarded customer service, and it’s hard to see a better value.

We tested an older version of the 22-inch Napoleon Rodeo Charcoal Kettle Grill (NK22CK-L), which is considered one of the better Weber clones available. It performed well in our cooking tests, though not quite as well as the Weber model. And its unique heat-diffusing plate—a shallow metal dome that sits in the middle of the coal bed—was less effective than we’d hoped.

A classic, gas Weber grills make for convenient grilling options all year long. Easy to turn on and off, gas grills make it simple to cook up delicious meats and veggies. Shop small, portable options for tailgating or camping, or browse a full range of sizes for expert grilling in your backyard. There are also times when you might prefer a three-zone “split” fire, where the coals are separated into two equal piles on opposite sides of the charcoal grate. This gives you two zones for direct heat (high, medium, or low) and one zone between them for indirect heat.

You can smoke meat with the dedicated smoker feature so that it adds to the taste of your finished dishes. Charcoal grills often have porcelain-coated plates or porcelain-enameled burners so that the grill will last long and cook your veggies as intended for longer. Look at kettle grills, portable grills and more to find one that is perfect for your style of cooking and grilling. An outdoor charcoal grill is great since the cooking space is larger giving you the freedom to use it as you want.

—you have direct high heat on one side, direct medium heat in the center, and indirect heat on the opposite side. The biggest piece of meat that people will smoke is a brisket and the 22″ kettle weber portable grill can fit a lb brisket no problem. The hinged grates also make adding charcoal or wood chunks much easier. The Spirit II E-310 is a perfectly fine gas grill, just not an exceptional one.
