Weber Original Kettle Premium 22-inch Black
Score: 82/100Rankings

The Weber Original Kettle Premium 22-inch adds a built-in thermometer and hinged grate to the classic design, improving temperature control and convenience. Its higher price and substantial weight may deter budget-focused or highly mobile users. Best for backyard enthusiasts who want extra features and a long warranty.

The Weber Original Kettle 22-inch offers classic kettle design with a durable porcelain-enameled construction and easy One-Touch ash removal. It lacks a built-in thermometer and is relatively heavy, which can limit precise cooking and frequent relocation. Ideal for backyard grillers who value durability and simplicity.
