Weber Go-Anywhere Charcoal Grill
A rectangular portable charcoal grill with legs that fold up and lock the lid shut for carrying. The 160 sq in rectangular grate suits long items — sausages, corn, a rack of ribs cut in half — better than the round Smokey Joe's 147 sq in. It is the charcoal twin of Weber's long-running Go-Anywhere gas model.

Specifications
Pros
- ✓Folding legs clamp over the lid, so it carries as one sealed unit with no separate strap or bag
- ✓Rectangular 160 sq in grate fits long food that a round 14-inch kettle cannot lay flat
- ✓11.5 lbs is light enough for a backpack frame or a bike rack
- ✓Same porcelain-enameled steel and 10-year cookbox warranty as Weber's full-size charcoal grills
- ✓Lid dampers give real temperature control, which most portable charcoal grills at this price omit
Cons
- ✗160 sq in feeds about three people, and the shallow box limits indirect cooking
- ✗No ash catcher — ash dumps out of the firebox and has to be handled directly
- ✗The shallow rectangular body cannot hold a tall roast or a beer-can chicken with the lid on
- ✗No built-in thermometer

Weber Smokey Joe 14
The 14-inch tabletop kettle, and the cheapest charcoal grill Weber sells. The Tuck-N-Carry lid lock clamps the lid to the bowl so the whole grill carries by its handle, then doubles as a lid rest once open. It is a true kettle in miniature — same porcelain-enameled bowl, same damper control — not a stamped-steel picnic grill.
The smallest full-size Weber kettle, an 18-inch bowl with 240 sq in of grate against the 22-inch model's 363. It keeps the One-Touch ash sweep, enclosed ash catcher and the same porcelain-enameled bowl and lid as its bigger sibling, so the only real difference is diameter. Weber sells it as the apartment-balcony and small-patio kettle rather than a budget version of the 22.
The base 22-inch Weber kettle and the entry point to the whole charcoal ladder. It has the same 363 sq in grate and One-Touch ash sweep as the Original Kettle Premium above it, but drops that model's hinged grate, built-in lid thermometer and enclosed ash catcher for an open ash pan. Against the 18-inch below it, the extra four inches is the difference between fitting a two-zone fire and not.
The Weber Original Kettle Premium 22 is the iconic charcoal kettle that started backyard grilling in America, upgraded with a built-in thermometer, hinged grate, and sealed One-Touch ash catcher. It's the single most-recommended first grill in owner discussions.
The Weber Master-Touch 22 is the upgraded version of Weber's iconic charcoal kettle, adding a hinged Gourmet BBQ System grate, a built-in thermometer, and a Tuck-Away lid holder. It's a benchmark backyard charcoal grill.

Weber Performer 22
Weber redesigned the Performer for 2026: it is a 22-inch kettle bowl mounted on a wheeled cart with a fixed side table, a bottom storage shelf and the Weber Works side rail for snap-on accessories. The grate, at 363 sq in, is identical to the Original Kettle 22 — what the money buys is the cart, the hinged grate, the lid thermometer and the improved ash catcher. It sits above the 22-inch Master-Touch and below the Smart version, which adds a Wi-Fi airflow controller.
