Weber Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill, 22-Inch Copper — Porcelain-enameled, One-Touch Ash Clean

The Weber Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill (22-inch, Copper) is a classic, heavy-duty charcoal barbecue designed for easy temperature control, hassle-free ash removal, and enough cooking surface to grill for a medium-sized gathering.

Built on Weber’s long-standing kettle design, this 22-inch copper model updates the original with user-friendly features that simplify charcoal grilling. The porcelain-enameled lid and bowl lock in heat and resist peeling, while the hinged, plated-steel cooking grate and One-Touch cleaning system make tending and cleanup quicker. Compact enough for most patios but roomy enough for a backyard cookout, the grill balances performance, durability, and small-scale convenience.

How does the grill make adding charcoal easier while cooking?

The hinged cooking grate lets you add charcoal without removing the entire cooking surface or disturbing food placement. This feature keeps cooking consistent and reduces exposure to ash and embers while you replenish fuel.

• Hinged, durable-plated steel grate for safe mid-cook refueling
• One-Touch ash-cleaning system collects ash in a removable catch
• High-capacity ash catcher reduces how often you empty residue

What temperature control and monitoring does it provide?

Temperature is managed through the adjustable, rust-resistant aluminum damper and monitored with the built-in lid thermometer. Together they help you dial in indirect or direct heat for searing, smoking, or slow cooking.

• Aluminum damper for precise airflow regulation
• Integrated lid thermometer shows internal grill temperature in real time
• Porcelain-enameled bowl and lid retain heat for stable cooking

Which features make cleaning and long-term ownership easier?

Weber designed the kettle for lower-maintenance grilling: the One-Touch system funnels ash into a removable aluminized-steel catcher, and the porcelain enamel finish resists rust and peeling. Handles and wheels use durable materials to withstand regular use and weather.

• One-Touch cleaning makes ash removal simple and quick
• Porcelain-enameled surfaces are heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant
• Glass-reinforced nylon handles and all-weather wheels for durability

How much can you cook and what accessories help with convenience?

The 22-inch cooking area fits roughly 13 burgers at once, making it suitable for small gatherings. Built-in conveniences like a side-hanging lid hook and tool hooks keep the workspace organized and reduce clutter during service.

• Cooking area sized to handle about 13 standard burgers simultaneously
• Angled lid hook provides a clean place to hang the lid while checking food
• Tool hooks keep spatulas and tongs within reach
