Weber 758098 22-1/2-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Kettle--The Simpsons 10th Anniversary Limited Edition Grill

The grill's features are no laughing matter, though. The bowl and lid are crafted from steel coated with porcelain enamel to stay rust-free for years, and the glass-reinforced nylon handles will stay cool even after hours of grilling. The grill surface is 22-1/2 inches in diameter--providing a vast 397 square inches of grilling space--and is triple-nickel-plated and hinged so that you can add charcoal quickly and safely. The adjustable aluminum air vent resists rust and lets you precisely control grill airflow, and the stainless-steel one-touch cleaning system makes ash removal simple via the heavy-gauge, porcelainized steel ash catcher. This grill's a gem all the way down to the wheels, which are weather-resistant to -40 degrees F. The grill includes a Weber cookbook. D'oh!n't miss out on this limited-edition celebration of The Simpsons--it will make a great gift for the griller in your family. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

You gotta love it.

I've used a Smokey Joe Charcoal Grill for over ten years with great results. When I needed a bigger grill I used the fire box in my offset smoker. But I needed a dedicated grill for the new house as the Kitchen and its deck are on the second floor. I had used a one touch Gold at a friend's house as they turned over the grilling to me and I was very impressed. Quality is top notch and it should last a very long time. The enameled body is guaranteed for five years but I've used the smaller model hard for longer than that without signs of wear. The picture of Homer in his Kiss the Chef apron is a bonus for a Simpson's fan. You can spend thousands more for a propane grill but the results will never be better and IMO real lump Charcoal is the only way to grill food. I would wash the oil off the fire grate and fire it up once before use to get that new smell out of it, adding a little hard wood for smoke is always a bonus. My one and only issue with the Smokey Joe is you need to remove all the grates and turn it upside down to remove ash with the One Touch Gold that is a thing of the past. There are more expensive models but unless you are getting something bigger than 22 1/2" this is all you need. The shape of the Classic Weber kettle reflects heat in and is superior to other shapes IMO. The only thing better is a Ceramic grill with a very similar shape and they cost a whole lot more money.


Great Grill but should be packed better   February 13, 2002

This Grill is great and the price was FANTASTIC. Only problem is that AMAZON ships it in its original box which is made to be handled by UPS. When I got my grill as soon as I opened it I saw the dent in the cover. I called WEBER CUSTOMER SERVICE and they said they would send a replacement cover and all I had to do was send back the dented one at there cost.
