In 23 years I've had 4 Webers 3 kettles and a gas, the first kettle was a 24" red monster I used it tell the leggs fell out from under it with about 10lbs of beef on it, washed off the meat, put the grill body in a large flower pot , put the coals back in and finished cooking.
The other three are 24" 14" and the gas that I used this very night. I also use the weber chemines that I can not count how many of those Ive had.
Love the WEBER!!!!!!!!!!!( and KINGSFORD)
