Review on Charcoal grill Weber Compact Kettle, 56x47x89 cm by Ewa Nowak ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing unusual, a normal product.

I'll contrast these models and point out significant differences because I own 2 Weber grills (this one and a traditional kettle). The primary difference is how the legs are linked; it doesn't work well in compact. In the former design, the legs were merely fastened to the outside of the cast bowl rather than being bolted from the inside of the bowl, which provides a more secure and reliable connection. Additionally, the built-in thermometer is notably absent. It is quite simple to undercook the coals and fry at 150 degrees, or to overcook the grill to temperatures above 250 degrees. The shutter from below is the third point, and while it is extremely useful in the traditional kettle, it is utterly undeveloped in the tiny kettle. More importantly, in the traditional kettle, it also serves to wipe the bottom of the grill from the corner. In the compact, it cannot be touched with bare hands due to how hot it gets. Since all the ash falls into the bowl and the compact must be cleaned by hand more frequently, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, I use the classic much more frequently and it is absolutely clean inside. I advise overpaying and choosing a model with a higher class because the price difference is far smaller than the cost of the chips in the classc kettle.

Pros
  • high caliber and small
Cons
  • The most basic model in the Weber charcoal barbecue hierarchy, see the comment below.
