I have wanted a Weber 26" kettle grill since I saw one for sale some time ago. Price has always been my sticking point.
Well for my birthday (July 14) my lovely wife surprised me with a delivery. It was the grill!
Big box and very heavy. Two person box!
Once assembled I realized exactly how much bigger the grill is and how much heavier the lid is. When you imagine a 22" grill vs a 26" grill it does not seem like a big jump. But in reality it is 4" more all around the circumference and clearly much bigger than my old 22".
And its twice as heavy in every respect.
Should anyone be thinking of going to the Weber Kettle 26" I would recommend taking a physical look at one and feel the lid and how heavy the body is.
You very well might change your mind.
This grill may last as long as my old one. (20 years) and I dread the day I cannot raise the lid. It is a chore now.
I cannot hurt my wife's feelings by sending it back. So I cooked on it already to seal the deal. Sometimes love supersedes practicality.
Just a heads up or warning if you will.
