- Is the Premium worth it over the basic Original Kettle?
- The Premium adds a lid holder, a built-in thermometer and an enclosed ash catcher. If you want easier lid handling and ash cleanup, it is the better pick; the basic model grills the same.
- How many people can it cook for?
- The 22-inch grate fits roughly 12 to 15 burgers or two whole chickens with the lid on. It handles a family meal or a small party comfortably.
- Can I smoke on it?
- Yes, for short cooks. With the vents partly closed and charcoal pushed to one side, it holds low heat for ribs or a pork shoulder, but it is not a dedicated smoker and needs charcoal added.
- Does it come with a cover?
- No, the cover is sold separately. The enamel finish handles weather, but a cover keeps rain and pollen out of the bowl.
- How long does assembly take?
- Most owners finish in under an hour with the included tools. Two people make fitting the legs and ash ring easier.
- Is the 22-inch size too big for a small patio?
- It is about 23 inches wide, so it fits a small patio or balcony. It is heavier than a portable kettle, so plan a spot where it can stay.
