Weber Compact Kettle Charcoal Grill, Ø 47cm Grill Area, BBQ Grill with Porcelain-Enamelled Lid & Bowl, Tripod Stand & Wheels, Chromed Grill Grate - Black (1221004)

bought the Weber Compact Kettle Charcoal Grill (Ø 47cm) as a gift for my South African husband, and it could not have been a better choice! First of all, if you know anything about South Africans, you know how seriously they take their braai — and this grill absolutely delivers. From the moment he opened it, he was thrilled. The classic kettle design looks fantastic, and the build quality is exactly what you’d expect from Weber: sturdy, durable, and made to last. The 47cm grill area is the perfect size for family braais. There’s plenty of room for boerewors, steaks, chicken, and veggies all at once. The heat distribution is excellent, and the lid helps maintain that authentic smoky flavour while keeping everything juicy and evenly cooked. Assembly was straightforward, and once set up, it felt very solid and stable. The ash catcher makes cleaning much easier than expected, which is always a bonus after a long evening of cooking. Most importantly — the food tastes amazing. He says it reminds him of home, which makes this gift even more special. If you’re looking for a meaningful gift for someone who loves charcoal grilling (especially a proud South African!), this Weber Compact Kettle is an absolute winner. Highly recommended! 🔥

I wasn't sure if the 47cm size would be large enough for a BBQ for 4 but it's easily large enough. Extremely well made, it holds heat in better than any kettle style unit I've had and is perfect for smoking or fast grilling. For slower cooking I fitted a temperature gauge and in drilling the 20mm hole in the lid to take the gauges sensor is when I found out what this Weber is made of. Tough as old boots! I suspect that this Compact will last for years. The accessories that I feel are almost essential are a briquette/charcoal starter and a side mounted holder for the lid. The small hanger that is situated under the lid is too hit and miss and also is in the way of the prime position for an after market temp gauge. Buy it with confidence - it really is a superb bit of engineering using quality materials.

I didn’t use it yet , but can’t wait for the spring to come. I opened the box, and everything looks good , no damages. Reading all the good reviews and comments I am sure I will be happy too when I use it.

This is the first proper BBQ I've owned and can say I'm impressed with the build quality and ease of use - when it arrived there was a fault in the coating of the lower bowl, I contacted customer service and emailed some photos and they sent me a new bowl pronto , no need to send the old one back

Bought it during promotion, easy to assembly, took around 20 minutes, it’s sturdy and the build quality is good, especially the paint coating, it looks gorgeous!

Finally replaced our original after over 20 years. There was no need to look for anything different as these are made to last, easy to care for, the ideal size for cooking for our family and easy to cook on. Some say they are expensive but given the longevity and amount of use ours had I would say they are extremely good value.

I’ve bought this as a gift and the recipient is very pleased with it. It’s a great size for a small family and looks good. If it lasts half as long as ours (23 years and has never been stored inside) then it represents true value for money. They are easy to put together and the handle makes it easy to move when the wind changes and you need to re-position it to let the smoke drift in a different direction.

Bought this to replace my old one as it was dropping to bits & quite big taking up a lot of space. I think this is a Good quality BBQ & the right size for us as a couple, easy to store in the shed as it’s not too big. I found it a bit fiddly to put together on my own & didn’t study the photos properly as I initially put a leg on the wrong way, I hadn’t realised till I had put the wheel on & hammered the wheel nut in so it took a while to reverse the process! That said I’m happy with it now and it seems robust and sturdy enough. Good value for money as I got it at a reduced price, I can see me using it a lot.
