Weber Kettle charcoal grill
Grills owners run for many seasons, with parts still available for old models.
What owners say
- Kettle grills last decades: owners still run units from the 1970s through the 1990s that work like new with basic care and a cover
- Standout customer service, with owners reporting free replacement parts shipped to keep grills going
- Some feel recent models slipped, with several reporting cookboxes or handles melting, plus rust near handles and sloppier welds on newer units
