Weber 741001 22-1/2&#34 One-Touch Silver Kettle Charcoal Grill —

So far I used my grill twice and both times I was unable to produce enough heat to properly grill steaks. I left bottom vent as well as top cover open, lighted up charcoal using charcoal starting fluid and charcoal would just not burn. I used two different types of charcoal both times to the same result. Granted I'm not BBQ expert, but I never before had this type of problem using public BBQ pits one can find at the parks, etc. Quality of the grill seems to be O.K. but I was expecting better cooking performance from estabilished brand. Dissapointed so far with Weber brand

Try using a charcoal chimney coal starting product. You don't need lighter-fluid, just some crumpled newspaper. The coals are ready for BBQing when they've started to turn white.

"not like the old kettles"

With his kettle shape invention, George Stephen made outdoor grilling easy, great tasting fun. With the lid closed on the uniquely shaped kettle, heat radiates around food and keeps flareups minimal. Assembly required.
