Weber 751001 22 1/2-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, Black Review

4.5 from 5

I have used a number of different charcoal grills, and the Weber Gold is the best. Unless you want to spend twice the price and buy the Weber Performer, which is a Weber Gold with gas ignition, table, and a place to store charcoal. Not sure why you would want to store charcoal outside where it can absorb moisture, but that is another story.

First off the Weber is made with a thicker steel, so it retains the heat better than the cheaper, lighter, offshore made products. The grill is heavier, so you can get more than one season out of it. The ash catcher is great. Its a must have feature. Other units get ashes all over my deck, which is unacceptable, and a fire hazard on windy days.

My Weber Gold is about 10 years old. I replaced the cooking grate once. It still functions perfectly. It lives outside and only has one tiny spot of rust, where the cover got hit with a rock and it chipped the paint. One day I will get around to sanding and painting that spot so it lasts another 10 years. The aluminum portions of the grill are a little weathered, but still function perfectly. I guess if I really wanted to I could polish them up, but a little oxidation does not bother me.

The only downside I can even think about is the top handle. It is plastic, not wood. Sometimes it gets too hot to handle so I have to use a potholder if I am cooking at a very high temperature. Other than that, it is the best charcoal grill on the planet.

Sure you can buy one cheaper, but they will not last. Buy a Weber and you will leave it to your children when you die. And they will get many years of use out of it too!

Weber 751001 22 1/2-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, Black Overviews

Weber's One-Touch Gold kettle grill is a great buy for anyone looking for a classic model with a few convenient extras. The design is sleek. The results are delicious.

As with all Weber grills, this kettle's lid and bowl are constructed of premium porcelain-enameled steel--which means not only does heat radiate evenly, but the grill will survive if it's left out in the rain. The cooking surface (22-1/2 inches in diameter) is big enough to accommodate six large steaks, twice as many burgers, or up to a dozen kebabs, and the grill's classic kettle shape keeps flare-ups to a minimum.

When designing this grill, Weber clearly kept convenience in mind. The grill's nickel-plated grate has two built-in hinged side openings that make adding more charcoal briquettes easy and safe, and, when the lid's not in use, it can hang from the bowl by a handy hook. The grill is durable, too. The porcelain-coated steel bowl and lid are exceptionally strong and designed never to rust, fade, or peel. The grill's aluminum vents and ash catcher won't rust either, and its tripod base, nylon handles, and all-weather wheels--besides being exceptionally sturdy--make the grill remarkably easy to maneuver. Weber's patented One-Touch cleaning system--a clever setup of lever-activated blades--sifts ash out of the kettle and into a cooking-pot-shaped ash catcher. You never have to get your hands dirty--and emptying the kettle takes only a few seconds.

To top it all off, Weber throws in a 31-page owner's guide filled with cooking tips and time-tested recipes for grilling everything from pork chops to bratwurst to Cornish hens.
