- Is the 22-inch Kettle Premium worth it over the base Original Kettle?
- Yes for most buyers. The Premium adds a hinged grate, a lid thermometer and the ash sweeper, which make long cooks and cleanup noticeably easier.
- How many people can it cook for?
- The 363-square-inch grate handles about 13 burgers or a whole chicken, enough for a family or a small backyard party.
- Does it need assembly?
- The listing says no assembly is required, but most owners report a short setup of legs, wheels and the ash catcher, roughly 20 to 30 minutes.
- Can you smoke on it?
- Yes. With the lid on, vents half closed and charcoal pushed to one side, it holds 225 to 250°F for ribs and pork shoulder, though you will refuel on long cooks.
- What is included in the box?
- The grill, porcelain-enameled grate, lid thermometer, ash sweeper and wheels are included. Charcoal, a cover and a chimney starter are sold separately.
- When is it cheapest?
- Kettle prices tend to dip around spring grilling sales and end-of-season clearance in late summer and fall. Check the price history before buying.
