Weber kettle prices.

Facebook market place is a good place to look also. Guys moving up to pellets will sell them there.

For sure, there are always deals on kettles in my area on FB. Often can grab a nice one for $50

Chris, I'm curious why. I like not having to empty it every cook, and the ease of taking it off and to the backyard to dump.

A few reasons actually.
1. The whole bucket setup occasionally falls off when moving the kettle over grass.
2. Maybe it's just my bucket setup but squeezing the handle to release the bucket to empty it is a pain.
3. If any water/moisture has gotten into the bucket. Then cleaning it out the next day can be like breaking up cement.

With the dish I just squeeze one of the springs and dump it out on my yard. Easy-peasy.

I have both styles . Lift and twist, and a squeeze . The squeeze kills my wrist , and the lift and twist you have to stand on your head to see both sides of the pivot . I have to many things to catch fire around the patio to have an open one anymore , but they are easier .

I have both type of “ash collectors” too. I like the old school dish type. A whole lot easier to clean.

Not that I'd get it from amz com (see shipping cost) but it shows in stock. UNLESS I misunderstood.

Oh lord, the shipping wow.

Editing to say: it ships free with prime. (at least to my address, anyway)

I was surprised on the price bump for the Jumbo Joe. The Weber Q has gotten up there too.

These last AT LEAST a full generation so don't hesitate buying used if the $100+ new price is restrictive. Replacement parts are plentiful as well.

I'm not sure about a generation, but definitely a decade or so, depending on your local. Here in NC, the humidity tends to cause rust, even if covered and cared for. I have a 22" that I don't use anymore, but I was going to rebuild it for someone. It's probably 12 years old. Of course, the star-shaped vent covers rusted out again, and I noticed that the vents in the bowl they cover had enlarged due to rust.

Get the master touch if you have the funds, a few extra features that i love.

fully agree, I would not own a kettle without it after getting it on my last one.

My 22 is over 40yo and it's the only cooker I don't cover. There is zero rust or chipping of the porcelain. Maybe they don't make 'em like they used to???
