Weber 758001 22.5-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, Blue Specifications
Weber’s One-Touch Gold kettle grill is a great buy for anyone looking for a classic model with a few convenient extras. The design is sleek. The results are delicious. As with all Weber grills, this kettle’s lid and bowl are constructed of premium porcelain-enameled steel–which means not only does heat radiate evenly, but the grill will survive if it’s left out in the rain. The cooking surface (22-1/2 inches in diameter) is big enough to accommodate six large steaks, twice as many burgers, or up to a dozen kebabs, and the grill’s classic kettle shape keeps flare-ups to a minimum.
When designing this grill, Weber clearly kept convenience in mind. The grill’s nickel-plated grate has two built-in hinged side openings that make adding more charcoal briquettes easy and safe, and, when the lid’s not in use, it can hang from the bowl by a handy hook. The grill is durable, too. The porcelain-coated steel bowl and lid are exceptionally strong and designed never to rust, fade, or peel. The grill’s aluminum vents and ash catcher won’t rust either, and its tripod base, nylon handles, and all-weather wheels–besides being exceptionally sturdy–make the grill remarkably easy to maneuver. Weber’s patented One-Touch cleaning system–a clever setup of lever-activated blades–sifts ash out of the kettle and into a cooking-pot-shaped ash catcher. You never have to get your hands dirty–and emptying the kettle takes only a few seconds.
To top it all off, Weber throws in a 31-page owner’s guide filled with cooking tips and time-tested recipes for grilling everything from pork chops to bratwurst to Cornish hens.
Weber 758001 22.5-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, Blue CustomerReview
I’m not even sure where to start! I’ve wanted to add a charcoal grill to my outdoor cooking fleet for many years just for those few times that I’d like to cook more naturally. I’ve used this one 2 times so far and can’t believe I’ve waited this long. I think it’s saved me over 00 I was going to spend to replace my 10 yr old gas grill.
This grill and a couple Weber accessories make charcoal grilling a breeze! I haven’t grilled with charcoal in years and obviously I had cheap junk for grills in the past.
The quality of the grill is great, but I expected that. I can see it lasting years and years as many others have attested to. I’ll easily use it even during the week when I don’t have the time I thought it would take and thought gas was easier for. The first use and trying to get used to charcoal again was almost a failure because I almost choked the heat down keeping the vents closed. When I realized that the steaks slowed down cooking and the kettle top got wet from condensation it hit me that I had the vents closed thus the fire couldn’t breath. All I had to do was open the vents and ‘viola, in no time the heat was back up and going strong with no other help from me, just air.
Yesterday I outdid myself with ribs. Although I did cook them a little to high, they were the best I’ve ever done both falling off the bone and the best flavor I’ve ever gotten. I was using Mesquite chips as well but I’ve done that on a gas grill and cooked twice as long and didn’t get near the same results. It’s amazing how the kettle makes all the difference in the world keeping the charcoal hot and lasting a long time. I’m amazed!
Clean up is much easier than I expected. The ash catcher is awesome, even in high gusty winds. Access though the grill for adding fuel makes adding briquettes and wood a breeze.
Assembly was easy and took less than 20 minutes taking my time.
The only con I can come up with was that on the top handle, it came out of the undamaged box with a chip of the porcelain coming off as if it had been hit. It’s small and by the handle and not exposing the metal so it’s not a functional problem but with the box arriving in perfect condition, it’s obvious it happened before being packed. However, I’d be surprised if anyone could find it.
All I can say is that I’m sold!! Everything Weber that I’ve bought, from the grill to the accessories, have been top notch. Charcoal grilling is now a breeze and so much better than gas. The old saying is absolutely true; having the right tools make all the difference in the world. The Weber Kettle is absolutely the right tool!! Being made in the USA is the cherry on top!
To address some of the complaints in the lesser ratings:
The handles don’t get hot. As hot as mine has been, the handles are easy to hold with bare hands, although I tend to use a mitt around a grill. The new handles should last in any weather condition and much longer than wood as well.
It would be nice to have a temp gauge but that’s not hard to add if you really need one. I can see the benefit but it’s limited.
The Kettle is not unstable if it’s put together right. If it falls apart after assembling, the legs aren’t being secured fully as they should be, which is to tap them all the way in. Rolling it isn’t a problem but like with most anything, you have to be careful. Depending on which way you roll it, one might be able to knock it over if not careful, but I’ve not found that to be easy to do. Standing, it’s as stable as can be. Again, if it’s wobbly or falls apart as one has claimed, the legs were not assembled properly.
The lid DOES have a hook to hang on the side of the kettle; it’s on the underside of the top near the vent. It hangs nicely on the side of the kettle.
