Yep. I gave away a perfectly nice 10 year old Weber to get one with that clean out pot underneathWebber Kettle. ...But, I’ve had a couple and the ash container on the bottom is a nice feature so make sure to consider that one.
Ash tray vs Ash bucket, bucket makes for easier clean up and ash disposal. Also helps to contain a wayward spark. The lid thermometer is not really necessary, in my opinion. The temperature at the lid won't be the same as at the cooking surface.i see that a new one is not very expensive. What about a dirt cheap one with no ash bucket and no lid thermometer?
Weber landslide.
Watching my Weber when it was in the charcoal getting ready stage, I saw it putting out little embers out the bottom, but probably not hot / big enough to be a danger. The risk with a charcoal grill is it rotting out and dumping the load on a combustible surface. Also, depending on how you light it, it’s likely going to create a lot of smoke when you start the charcoal.My uncle let me test out his Weber so my question is - is it safe to grill charcoal on a screened in porch?
Probably not recommended on a porch or any relatively enclosed area. I started with a Weber and moved to an Akorn which I enjoyed. I now have a Primo XL Kamado which I absolutely love. I actually still have a couple Weber’s, the Akorn and a Weber natural gas. You can definitely do everything on the Weber kettle as most other grills, it’s just not as efficient so it uses more charcoal which is harder for longer cooks.If I was to get a Kamado style I would have to get an Akorn by chargriller - that’s more in my budget!

I’ve seen these at Lowe’s Home Improvement and a friend told me his family has been using one for decades.....but when he got a new grill he got a 22” kettle😂Ive had more then a few Webers over the years, they work well but were on the fragile side and rust prone. Then back about 3 years ago, the Wifey gave me this one.. This thing is awesome, its bigger then kettle when you need the extra space for grilling direct first then indirect. The charcoal tray is height adjustable and just lifts out for a hose down to clean. The upper rack, I just threw away just because it annoyed me. It even makes a good smoker for ribs or a butt even it it a bit of a fuel hog due to its thin construction. So, I'm voting Char Griller.
