I bought a Weber Smokey Joe. Gave it away a few years later and bought the 22" Kettle for 40$ at the local grocery store. I WORE IT OUT in 25 years and 3 sets of wheels, which you could still get at that time buying local. My SECOND 22" kettle was sold when I bought the EGG. I used the steel internals from the FIRST Weber in the SECOND. So, when i sold it, (50$) it had a NEW grate and cooking surface. That Weber was probably 15+ years old. I also installed a NEW VENT system so it was back to New Condition. I included my CharCoal Rails for indirect, too.
Weber continues to cheapen the product and 'push' people toward GAS. The newer Kettle I bought was not only made of lighter metal, it had ONE handle on the kettle and was NO LONGER wood, but some plastic. The clearance was such that I could hardly get my FINGERS around this new grip.
Before my 35 years with WEber, I owned as many as 6 HIBACHI grills at once. When guests would come over? Just light as many as it would take to cook it all up.
