I had a 22" Webber for 9 years and I was completely happy until it broke. When I saw the 26.75" I was exsited, I always wanted the Ranch Kettle but didn't have the $1,500. After putting the 26.75 together I was Shocked to notice that 4.5 more inches looked and felt about twice the size of the 22". The larger cooking space makes it easy to cook for ALL our family, and makes indirect cooking and smoking more consistant. I use it about 4 to 5 times a week, my sister-in-law even wants me to grill her wedding...It's BIG enough.
Love this new, larger, bbq. I can fit more ribs, steaks or burgers on it. I can't wait to do the Thanksgiving turkey on it.
BBQ guys kept me informed during the long wait ( covid 19 ) as Weber got back to work... I Love this big Weber! Lots of room to cook at different temps . I did a 23 lb turkey for thanksgiving and it fit under the lid... KS
Hi! We wanted a large Weber grill, so we got the 26 inch just in time for Father's Day...it did very nicely. The astonishing thing was purchasing it...we went to Lowe's & Sears---they both wanted $299 before tax....we got it from Walmart @ $259 with tax---cool, eh? With the money saved plus a little more from us, we went to Weber online to get many accessories! Have a great Day!
I recently convinced my wife that I needed a charcoal grill to go along with our gas grill. The last Weber Grill I owned was a Smokey Joe and I loved how it cooked so purchasing a Weber was a no brainer. I looked at their 22.5 One Touch Gold and was tempted with all of the attachements you can buy (rotisserie, sear grates, etc.) but I opted to get the 26.75 diameter grill mainly because it is about 1.5 more times larger than the 22.5. The grill comes with a small book on cooking techniques (direct heat and indirect heat) that are helpful especially if you have never used charcoal. There is something about the design of Weber Kettle Grills...if you have a flare-up, you simply cover the grill and it will die down. To me, that is key to griling meat that is not burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. When we host parties we are cooking for at least 10 people and this grill provides more than enough space...I would feel comfortable with cooking for 20. Some may think $299 is alot but I love that you can get replacement parts for every Weber Grill. As long as you keep it out of the rain it should last forever
I have not had a chance to try out the new 26.5" Weber charcoal grill but I am extatic to see it back on the market. I got my first one over 30 years ago as a wedding present and my family had 2 at their lakeshore home. It is the perfect size for doing great meals for large and small groups. Mathematically it is double the size of the 18" and 1.5 X the 22" in grill grate capacity, but with a little practice and technique, it is a HUGE advantage over the smaller sizes. The capability to Zone the grill and the round grate make it possible to cook burgers or steaks with "wellness" to order for a big group. Smoking is also an option. Only complaint was the triangle leg arangement was not real sturdy and it looks like the newer model has improved in that area. Was only a problem if you wanted to roll the grill to a new location while cooking. One recommended accessorie is either an electric starter or a Chimney starter. For weekend use in areas of high humidity I recommend the electric starter if power is availablee. Fast (and will dry out damp charchol) and leaves no odor (like lighter fluid). Then all you need is patience and creativity and a cold beverage to enjoy creating a meal. And it is true.... old webers never die-they just go to the beach!! Ours have averaged over 20 years each (with some replacement of lower grill grates because "some people" always uses too much charcoal).
Weber has outdone themselves. While only about four inches wider than their best-selling kettle, the new 26.75" kettle has 40% more grill space. Charcoal baskets make indirect cooking a cinch, there is an excellent thermometer, they have added a heat baffle so you can open the lid safely bare handed, and there is a well designed holder to place the lid in effortlessly. I've had it a week and cooked on it five nights.
Plenty of room to put a number of different foods on that cook at different speeds. so your meal is done at the same time. Bigger is better. The first time you slide the dome into its holder, that's when you know you have the right tool for the job.The ash pot, all you can say is "nice" no mess no dust.
The Weber Grill arrived so out of round that the cover would not fit on the the grill. Using a large woodworkers clamp I was able to straighten it out. If you are using natural charcoal instead of briquets I recommend getting some steel 1/4 inch opening hardware cloth to keep the smaller pieces from falling through the grate to the bottom of the grill. This grill cooks great and gets hotter than my old gas grill. I needed the larger grill as I always cook a lot of veggies with the meat.
Got the unit on Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Huge! I've had the 22" model for years but it's difficult to do a 24 pound bird on it so I decided to go big. Ordered it on Monday and paid $36 to get 2 day delivery which I thought was very reasonable compared to what Amazon wanted. Lid was a little out of round and had a couple of dings. Called Weber and the rep was very nice. They are sending me a new lid. The turkey was the best I've ever made and I've been doing them on a Weber for 25 years. I'm convinced it's because of the bigger unit. Can't wait to do baby backs. Temperature gauge on the lid is nice as are the side charcoal holders. This thing is big enough to use as a smoker (which I also have for briskets and pork butts).
