The Weber kettle grill has been around since the early 1950s, so chances are good you've eaten a burger, a hotdog, or a steak cooked on one. As a kid, our family had a gas grill, while the neighbors had a Weber. Their food was always a little bit...

Ordered the grill online with an in-store associate. Took just a few minutes. Grill was delivered as advertised to my front door and was given as a Christmas present. A great experience start to finish. Home Depot is our home improvement store of choice.

I had always heard that Weber grills were the best and now I know it. Cooks evenly and is easy to clean. The hinged grate makes it easy to add wood chips and/or charcoal without having to take the food off.
