Thinking of replacing my Weber kettle with one. Thoughts?
-
I'm interested in graduating from the Weber Kettle. Not that there's anything wrong with it: it lets me barbecue (thanks to the Smokenator) and grill (thanks to the Cast-Iron Grate). It's also big enough to feed my family of two as well as multiple guests. However, the Kettle is a bit rusted in places (I can't close the bottom dampers), and isn't as "open" as I'd like (can't elevate the coals easily, can't easily manipulate the fire, etc.). The point is, there are better grills out there. The grill I'm looking for can be described thusly: -Charcoal -Can BBQ/smoke (possible external firebox?) -Can grill (cast iron grate) -Open design, easy to get at/manipulate/add fuel and clean -Durable, well-built -It would be great if the coals could sit on this shelf beneath the grate, and you could raise and lower them using a crank handle. I don't know that I'd use this much, but it's super sexy -Shelf space for at least three boston butts -Affordable What do you think? Should I upgrade, and if so, to what? Or should I stick with the kettle, since it already does pretty much everything I need it to?
