WeberCompact Kettle Charcoal Grill, Ø 47cm Grill Area, BBQ Grill with Porcelain-Enamelled Lid & Bowl, Tripod Stand & Wheels, Chromed Grill Grate - Black (1221004)

I bought the Weber Compact Charcoal Grill as a gift for my entire family after having it for years, and it’s quickly become an essential part of our gatherings. It’s compact yet spacious enough for grilling up great meals, and the design is super easy to use. The charcoal flavor it adds to food is unbeatable, and the portability makes it perfect for family picnics or backyard BBQs. Supper functional due to size but just like any other grill, watch out because it gets really hot, nothing new when you are using hot coal to cook. We genuinely can’t live. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality grill!

I have been doing some research and asking around some bbq-franatic friends as well for recommendations before deciding what type and brand to go for. For us, it all came down to the Weber compact kettle charcoal grill barbecue. It is well built, well thought through, yet easy to use. Made of the highest guality materials. No detail about it is left to mere chance. We love everything about this grill - from the size,to how well it works, to how easy it is to keep it clean, the options it gives you, and last but not least, the taste of the food made on it! We bought the 47cm wide one, which easily accommodates a group of 10 ppl or even more. (tested it with 10, had loads of leftovers :)) )We are rather beginners in the world of bbqing, and even for us it was relatively easy and straightforward to use. Of course, lots of room for imrpovement!:)We bought some accessories as well from weber, it is really worth investing in the whole bundle from the beginning. makes the whole experience much easier and much mor enjoyable.All in all, very happy customers here, only recommending this product! :)

Second Webber charcoal bbq I’ve bought. The last one I had for 12 years and it was well used. It was still useable if I’d repaired the leg that had fallen off. Fantastic sturdy products that last well. The vents are easy to use and with the close fitting lid it makes controlling the temperature and cooking of the food a breeze. Best charcoal bbq on the market in my opinion.I got this one at a bargain price and more than happy with it.

Great Weber product and easy to use. The only design fault preventing 5* is the charcoal/fire grate, where the gaps between the bars are too far apart, allowing the charcoal to drop into the ash collector underneath. Probably works better with briquettes, but the BBQ flavours with briquettes just don't compare.Not to be beaten by an otherwise excellent product, I've bought an extra fire grate to place at 90 degrees to retain the charcoal.

Bought it during promotion, easy to assembly, took around 20 minutes, it’s sturdy and the build quality is good, especially the paint coating, it looks gorgeous!

Looks good, straightforward to assemble.

I like the built quality and materials, but it's so obvious the manufacturer doesn't want the cheaper model to attract potential buyers of more "advanced" models. For instance, the lower "door" for ashes (as well as upper valve) doesn't have minimally convenient lever, so you will definitely need gloves to manipulate it when it's hot. This "door" is also flat internaly, compared to more expensive models, so it doesn't move ashes towards the holes. I doubt these things helped to reduce the price to "reasonable" (especially taking into account that the price changes by +/- £30 over time). This is the same marketing approach which car makers use.Anyway, the device is great. I strongly advise to read the manual, especially if you are a noobie in this field (like I am). For instance, the plastic pan included is NOT for gathering ashes and hot charcoals falling from the bottom, like one of the reviewers called it and complained it melted (LOL!), but for measuring charcoal quantity when you're loading the charcoal into the BBQ ;)
