Hey Chris I too am loving my charcoal Webber kettle grill. Been a long time since I used one and when I had to pick up another grill for the cape I did not want to spend a lot of money on another grill so opted for the charcoal and have been pleased.

just retired my Weber charcoal grill after 10+ years of great service...got another and I imagine it'll last that long again....can't beat it, everything tastes better on charcoaL especially at Thanksgiving when it's got 2 turkeys on it ......
