Weber offers a versatile range of BBQs, from traditional charcoal grills to high-performance gas models. Understanding the differences between standard and premium versions can help you pick the right BBQ for your needs.

The Weber Kettle series is a staple for charcoal BBQ enthusiasts, known for its timeless design and exceptional performance. Here’s how the standard and premium versions compare.
The Original Kettle is the classic Weber charcoal BBQ, celebrated for its simple yet durable design since 1956.

This BBQ is ideal for anyone seeking reliable airflow control and a straightforward grilling experience, making it an excellent entry point into the world of Weber.
The Premium version of the Original Kettle builds on the basics by offering a few standout features: a built-in lid thermometer for temperature precision, hinged cooking grates for easy refuelling, and an upgraded removable ash catcher for hassle-free cleanup. These upgrades make it a more convenient option for those who love longer cookouts and value extra ease in maintenance.
The Master-Touch Kettle represents the top-of-the-line model in Weber’s Kettle range. In addition to the features found in the Original and Premium models, the Master-Touch includes Gourmet BBQ System grates for increased versatility, a warming rack, and char baskets for improved fuel management.
