We went back to basics and tried the iconic affordable Weber Kettle BBQ - here's why it'll always be a classic

Testing of the Weber Original Kettle BBQ with charcoal at home

Weber is a barbecue brand that needs no introduction when it comes to the best BBQs. This American barbecue manufacturer has been around for decades and Weber’s founder invented the kettle-style barbecue that’s such a familiar sight in gardens across the UK. 

Admittedly at £215, this barbecue is a tad pricier than the copycat versions that you might see around. But as with anything, the cheaper copies don’t always stand up to the real deal. And since we get such a short barbecue season, it’s worth enjoying it and honing those barbecue skills on a quality barbecue that’s designed to work well, rather than one that’s simply designed to be cheap. Though it must be said that you can spend well in excess of £1500 on a barbecue so in the grand scheme of things, this one starts to look pretty affordable.
