Weber 22 Inch

[bill ace 350]

Needed a new charcoal grill.

Just ordered a 22 inch Weber Original Kettle.

Had one about 40 years ago.

Looking to get reacquainted.

Gets here Friday.

Weather permitting, first cook will be Cornell Chicken.

I have had a Performer for 10-12 years and will be the last cooker to leave here, love the gas lighting , haven't needed matches in years lol. That said I bought a 18" Jumbo joe for traveling, tumble weeds and a stick lighter works when no electric for the heat coil

Welcome back to the kettle-head club. Looking forward to seeing it in use

Nice . Used mine yesterday to spin a turkey breast .

Weather permitting, first cook will be Cornell Chicken.

That's a great choice .

Great choice! Got my first one in 1977, with a few of today's accessories there's nothing that can't be cooked to perfection on a kettle. No wires, plugs, or tanks needed, just charcoal, a match, and meat. RAY

I still love my Kettle even though I don’t use it very often anymore. Hard to beat the versatility, especially with so many 3rd-party accessories. I love the Slow n Sear, but I think my favorite accessory is the OnlyFire pizza oven topper. That thing works like a champ!

And whenever I do use the Kettle, I’m amazed at how much more space it has over my KJ.

Cornell chicken sounds like an ideal cook to break it in with! I only discovered that version of chicken a couple of years ago and I love it!

Congrats. You just can't go wrong with a kettle.

Ordered me one last night too. Chose the plain 139.00 one. Also got a grate that the center come out of, two charcoal baskets, and a vortex. Says it'll be here thursday.
Think I'm gonna hit academy this week and pick up a discada for it also.

Love my Kettle. Got rid of my gasser to my SIL as it was collecting dust and taking up valuable square footage in the patio. Find it hard to find something you cant do with the kettle.

Look into getting a slow n sear for your new purchase. Love my webby22

Nice, I got one a couple years ago and now it is in PA, might need another one for NY. Get a vortex, spinner and your all set. Post up the Cornell chicken cook, never heard of it,

 

[halleoneagain]

and a vortex.

Oh boy, are you gonna love that Vortex! It's like having a volcano to cook your meats.

 

[seenred]

Congrats! Like everyone else, I'm a huge fan of my Kettles - currently have two 22" Premiums. I've definitely cooked more food on kettles than any other cooker I've owned. And agree that a vortex is a great add-on for a kettle.

Have fun with the new toy!

You won't be sorry. Still the best and most versatile grill/smokers around, imo.

I have had a Performer for 10-12 years and will be the last cooker to leave here, love the gas lighting , haven't needed matches in years lol.

I would have said the same thing, until a tree came down and smashed mine. I'll be checking Craigslist to get a new/old performer soon. I prefer the older ones with the plastic table and gas lighting.

OnlyFire pizza oven topper.

That looks like it would work great . I got in on one of the last rotisserie / pizza oven combos . I bought it for the spinner , but have done a couple pizza's on it .

 

[SmokingUPnorth]

Oh congrats. If you like wings or even thighs. I’d recommend getting yourself a vortex!

 

[SmokinEdge]

Welcome back to the kettle. Do yourself a favor and get the rotisserie. So useful.

Craig, do you have a pic of the SnS in your 22". I have one, but it's for my 26" kettle. I wondered if they made a smaller version or if it's the same one. The one I have fits in the 22", but it doesn't leave me a whole lot of indirect grate space to use.

Craig, do you have a pic of the SnS in your 22".

I’m not Craig, but I have the SnS in a 22” and it leaves plenty of indirect space. I’ve cooked a 14 lb brisket using it and had ample space. I don’t have a picture handy, but I’ve pasted a pic from the SnS website that shows the dimensions. It’s only 8-1/2” deep, leaving 13-1/2” of indirect grate space. The SnS Deluxe, which is what I have, has the same dimensions.

I love my kettle so much I got a Jumbo Joe last winter.
