Best Grill Ever Made,
April 2, 2009

"I have cooked on a 26" Weber for many years. As an avid griller, and having 20+ years professional cooking experience, I can whole heartedly endorse this product. My first Weber (22") lasted 20 years, since then I have owned a variety of Weber products: Smokey Joe, an 18", a couple more 22", and the 36" Ranch Kettle - the 26" is the most versatile grill Weber has ever produced. The difference between the 22" and the 26" is enormous. 4" of radius doesn't sound like much - but the volume of controlled air space is what makes the difference. A 22" can barely manage a full prime rib - the 26" handles with no problem. A whole 14-18# turkey can be grilled on a 22' - but you better buy one with a flat breast. The 26" accomodates easily.
I am very pleased that Weber has reintroduced the 26" - maybe now I can purchase a replacement cooking grate - I use mine year round and the original is still servicable - just not quite as pretty as it once was.
The price point is a bit stiff - but if you are a grilling purist - no gas for me thank you - and you cook for lots of folks - this is the best grill ever made."
