Know before you buy
The primary cooking area is 363 square inches. This is generally enough space to grill for a family of four to six people, comfortably fitting a dozen burgers or a large whole chicken.
Yes, the hinged sides allow you to add more charcoal or wood chunks without having to remove the entire grate and your food. It is particularly useful for low-and-slow smoking sessions where you need to maintain consistent heat over several hours.
The system features three blades inside the bowl that sweep ash through the bottom vents and directly into a removable, high-capacity ash catcher. It keeps the grill clean and prevents ash buildup from blocking the airflow needed for temperature control.
The painted steel side table is designed for prep work and holding accessories. While it is stable, it is not intended for heavy-duty chopping or supporting excessive weight, so it is best used for staging ingredients and tools.
The grill is equipped with two all-weather wheels and two locking casters, making it surprisingly mobile for its 87-pound weight. The locking casters ensure the grill stays securely in place once you have positioned it.
Weber Works is a modular accessory system integrated into the cart that allows you to attach specific prep containers or tool holders. It helps keep your workspace organized by keeping essential items within arm's reach while you grill.
