Review on Charcoal grill Weber Compact Kettle, 56x47x89 cm by Deleted User ee15d30e

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product, more pros than cons.

After minor modifications and adjusting to the features, we can say that this grill is a mega universal tool for cooking everything in general. Before buying, you should know that only coal briquettes are suitable for any cooking under a closed lid. Ordinary charcoal will go out immediately, so splurge.) As the first grill after the barbecue - perfect. A whole new level of cooking. Buy a starter, a thermometer, a baking stone and charcoal baskets for it, and this will be the main cooking tool in the country for many years.

Pros
  • Review after 6 years of use. The quality of the boiler is simply incredible. Not a single burn, exfoliated or chipped enamel. Barely noticeable saffron milk caps appeared only along the circumference of the contact between the carbon grate and the case, which is absolutely explicable by the laws of physics. Grids for products and coals are still in use, although they have already corroded in order. I think in a couple of years it will still have to be changed. Cooked on it: smoked, fish, fried fish, burgers, vegetables, dried-smoked tomatoes, smoked pork belly, pulled pork, carbonade, lamb, stewed-smoked beef in a cauldron and endless variations of ribs. But the most important thing for me is the ability to overclock the grill to 350 degrees for a Neapolitan pizza on a stone.
Cons
  • Of the minuses, it is clearly worth noting: - The overall compactness of the boiler and the lid makes it impossible to lay even an average piece of meat on low`n`slow - one edge will always be raw, and the other will be dry. you have to additionally dance with foil, improvising heat cutters. Due to the small volume of the boiler, we get a huge dependence on the weather - the slightest breeze or rain instantly blows through the boiler and thereby knocks down the configuration. - The absence of thermometers makes you either buy more and drill (see pictures), or dance with a tambourine and a sixth sense to guess the temperature in the boiler, which again does not allow us to do 5-7-9 hour languor without constant running around and opening the lid. - The most terrible lower damper, which in the 1/3 or 2/3 position immediately fills up with burned-out coals, knocking down the temperature. Between the damper and the boiler, small debris is very easily stuffed and the damper jams. Complete fasteners can be tightened only once, after the second unscrewing, it stops holding. Exit - blow with a high pressure washer. - The hook for hanging the lid on the boiler is fixed with the same screw as the upper damper. Choose between a flying hook or a tight, crunchy turning flap. - He's short. All manipulations are hunched over in three deaths.

When used with briquettes and a starter, this is a whole new level of country cooking.
