This is the 26-inch Master-Touch, the big kettle. The extra four inches of diameter is not a rounding error — it is the difference between a two-zone fire that works and one where the cool side is a rumor. Porcelain-enameled bowl and lid, hinged grate, Tuck-Away lid holder, built-in thermometer.
It is the kettle for people who cook for a crowd or cook whole cuts: a couple of chickens side by side, a rack of ribs without bending it into a horseshoe, a turkey at Thanksgiving. Bank the coals and there is still real estate left over to hold food off the fire.
Weber invented the kettle grill in 1952 and still manufactures its charcoal grills in the United States, using U.S. and globally sourced components.
