The Product: Charcoal Grill

Charcoal grillling is one of the most ancient ways of cooking—and one of the easiest. Charcoal grills are inexpensive to maintain, cook great-tasting food, and are essential complements to any house or apartment. The basic shape and design of the Weber Kettle Grill has remained the same for almost 50 years.

Recommendation:
Weber One Touch Silver 18½’’ & 22½’ Charcoal Grill

The Weber One Touch Silver Charcoal Grill is the most basic outdoor cooking appliance—all you need are coals and lighter fluid to get going. The 18-inch diameter is perfect for the beach or apartment, and the 22-inch is even better when you’ve got a large group to feed. It is simple to maintain and makes grilling easy. Although these models don’t feature the ash-catcher that the Weber One Touch Gold has, it is still very easy to keep clean with the one-touch sifter that empties the ash out of the bottom. This grill is as classic as it gets and will last you for years. If you would like a charcoal grill with a few more features, check out my review of the Weber One Touch Gold.

Devil's Advocate:
.

The Weber One Touch Silver does not feature the high-capacity ash-catcher that the One Touch Gold does, which is too bad. With this model, you have to scrape the ash out of the bottom yourself which can be messy.
