This is the 18-inch Weber Original Kettle, the compact sibling of the 22. Porcelain-enameled steel bowl and lid, a plated-steel cooking grate, and the One-Touch cleaning system that sweeps ash into the catcher with a few turns of the lever.
Eighteen inches is the right call when space is the constraint rather than crowd size — a balcony, a small deck, a courtyard. It still runs a two-zone fire: coals banked to one side, food finished over the empty half with the lid down.
Weber invented the kettle grill in 1952 and still manufactures its charcoal grills in the United States, using U.S. and globally sourced components.
