 A little disappointed December 16, 2008
It was packaged in such a way to almost guarantee the dent in the lid caused by a charcoal vent. There's no one-touch cleaning, making the three vents inadequate for cleaning. There's no place for a thermometer (like the performer series). Grill has no handles. I would expect a little more in the way of features at that price! Its pretty darned expensive for what it is.
If you're buying a weber charcoal chimney, the large one does NOT hold the correct amount of charcoal, you need two small ones (which is even better for indirect heating). At least that's the case if you follow their guidelines for briquette counting.
Shipping was through a freight company (that I had never heard of), and delivery is NOT guaranteed by the date Amazon gave me - unless you happen to be home when they call to set up an appointment. I called them by 10 AM and it was too late to set up an appointment for that day.
But, other than the above, the grill is HUGE, nothing like it for a large gathering!

If you are a true charcoal kind of guy/gal, you owe it to yourself to get this grill. Go ahead, reward yourself. You'll finally have the landscape to cook everything simultaneously for that great tasting meal you've grown accustomed to (sorry gas users). I take pride in grilling, and like you, I'm often disappointed in paying top dollar for a meal that I could have done better (if I was home grilling). This Weber does not disappoint. Yes, it's big but that's the beauty and convenience of it. Trust me, after your first grilling session; you will not know how you ever grilled on a 22" kettle. Enjoy my fellow charcoal lovers, enjoy!
 Whatta grill! June 4, 2004

I was in the hardware store today and I saw the regular Weber 22 inch kettle. How did I ever cook anything on that tiny little thing? This grill's huge cooking space gives you plenty of room for indirect cooking. It's impossible to sear steaks then move them off the heat in a small grill unless you're doing one or two. With this one, you've got acres of space -- my culinary success rate went way up with this one. There is a similar model out there called the Whalen King Kettle. It has virtually the same cooking space but takes a smaller bite out of your wallet. Anyone know anything about it? Happy grilling...
Best giant Charcoal grill I've seen June 20, 2003

I have a family of 7 with a few extra around a lot of the time. Grilling used to be a step by step process which usually meant I ate after everyone else because I was still cooking when most were eating. We like to do meat and vegetables on the grill and with this grill I can do it all at once and sit down with the family and enjoy! You can build your fire off center and spin the grate to move one item off and another item over the flame. You can also build small fires on two sides and put meat in the middle and smoke anything. Easy to control vents allow you to regulate the heat and burn time of the coals. Also it doesn't use a bag of cahrcoal at a time as you might think. You can use one Weber Chimney Starter (which I also recommend)full to cook most items. The grate is TOP quality. I used to go through a grate a year on my old Weber Kettle. This grate is beefy and I think must be finished better. No rust at all after two years. The only thing that keeps me from rating this 5 stars is dealing with ashes. You have to remove both grates (and the cooking grate is a handful)and shovel ashes out. The bottom has three vents that are not made for ash removal. At least you can cook a ton before ashes become a problem. It is expensive and a load but I would do it again in a heartbeat if a tornado came and blew it away. That is about the only thing I can think of that would keep this thing from lasting for 20 years or more.

This is the title of Chris Schlesinger's new book. This book also has been an inspiration and recommedation for me to purchase this grill. I can cook anything on this baby. I have the room to do pizza perfectly and much easier. I have grilled 7 bone in Rib steaks on a multi level fire with delicious results using natural lump charcoal and a nice Oak log. Grilling just doesn't get any better. I don't have to worry anymore if I have enough room to grill for a large party. This is built to last. Your right Chris, I believe this grill has changed my life.
