Ratings & Reviews for Weber Master-Touch 26-in W Black Kettle Charcoal Grill

26" Kettle Grill /Classic black of course

Amazing kettle grill! The added size of this kettle grill at 26" vs the 22" weber kettle I had for 15 years has been an amazing upgrade. The profeesionsl series upgrades are a nice touch as well. The ash catcher/air regulation add on is well thoughtout,easy to use and functions perfectly. It is sturdy, the lid holding mechanism is amazing,simple and fool proof. The upgraded grate with removable central portions and flip up sides is a game changer. This is the perfect charcoal grill in my opinion...

Quality made grill

I like Weber products because they are USA made and last for a long time. My Weber gas grill was purchased in 2006 and still works and looks new.

bad unit had to return, will go another brand :(

Bad bowl ash retainer clips, wasted multiple days/hours, and ended up using the old bbqer to salvage the Mother's Day bbq. Heavily let down. I returned and am currently looking at other brands now.

Love the size but

Love the size but smoke vent holes were never completely flat even upon opening, was going to live with it, then the lid and the bowl are starting to chip the finish reached out to Weber about the lid after about a month but never heard back. Pretty disappointing for a 400+dollar charcoal grill

26 inch Weber

Bought this for my hubby,grill works grt,but the legs are breaking,brackets are giving out,legs aren't strong enough,very sad!

Great extra space.

Love all of the extra space after upgrading from a 22.5"

Great Big Kettle

Ive had my original 22" kettle for several years and learned to cook and smoke may different ways. However as the family grew I needed more grilling surface. I debated getting a second 22" but fell in love with the 26. I finally pulled the trigger and the 26 is so much bigger than the 22. It seems to hold temp better and minor adjustments on airflow allow for easy temperature control. The 26 does not have as many accessories available but it is a great kettle.

Cheap legs

The legs are extremely cheap and it makes the grill feel very top heavy. The actual grill part is decent quality.

Best grill made

My Daughter and Sons presented me with a new Weber grill. This is my third Weber kettle grill. First one lasted 15 years and probably could have made it longer but the family bought me a new one which has lasted maybe 25 years. After the metal legs wore out I placed the kettle on a metal trash can base which served me well. My family enjoys what I grill for them so they purchased a 26” state of the art Weber complete with thermometer built in the lid. This grill will most likely outlive me ...

I love Weber, but……

I recently purchase a 26” Master Touch online. I have been using Weber kettle grills for over 25 years, and have always loved the quality and durability often their products. However, I noticed some of the parts have extremely rough/sharp edges, including the edge of the grill lid. I cut my finger during assembly. As I am sure this grill will last a very long time, I was surprised at the lack of attention to detail, especially considering the price point.

Worth the money

I love the extra room on this grill vs the 22”. Of course, it is a solid grill. My only comment otherwise is that I think the grate is trying to be too many things. With two inserts that can be removed, I find that anytime I need to set the grate to the side, those pieces fall out or I have to be super careful to keep it level. But otherwise loving the grill.

Great quality

I've had my kettle Weber for over 35 years and it's still like new. Love my grill and use it all the time. The only thing I've ever had to replace was the cooking grate.

The BEST.

Excellent for hot and fast or slow and low. Easy to control and maintain temperature. I have been grilling for over thirty years. I own and use other grills and nothing beats my Weber.

I was so excited...

As a long time Weber owner (22"Smokey Mountain, 22"Kettle, 14" Smokey Joe & Genesis II) I was really looking forward to expanding my collection. Assembly went well, felt like a quality product, until I attempted place the lid over the bowl and the two did not fit. I immediately contacted Weber who ultimately told me that the two were within manufacturing specs. I did not want to force the two together or bend one or both so that it functions correctly, so I returned for a refund.
