The Weber Ranch Kettle grill is a great choice if you need to cook for a large number of people due to its massive cooking area, the size of the cooking area measures at 1,104 square inches so it’s suitable for use in catering or to fulfil the needs of guests at special events.  If the need should ever arise to cook 19 whole chickens all at the same time, it would be extremely useful to have the Ranch Kettle to hand.

Although the Weber Ranch Kettle may not have all of the extra features for cooking found on other commercial grills, its priced just at the right point to make it worthy of consideration if you need an extremely large grill.  The outer design of the grill looks smart and should blend in well with most types of surrounding, to keep the grill in place while your cooking it has two locking casters.

The grills cooking grate is made out of heavy duty plated steel; since the grate is hinged it makes things easier at times when you need to top up on charcoal.  The lid and bowl for the grill are made out of steel that is coated with porcelain enamel, its overall construction makes it ideal for regular use and the enamel helps to protect the grill from the elements.

While you’re cooking food on the grill its lid is held in place by a tuck away lid holder, this is very handy as you don’t have to go to the trouble of finding a spot for the lid while you tend to the food. Quite often grill manufacturers get the handles for grills all wrong since many conduct heat, Weber have added glass reinforced nylon handles to the grill so providing you are also using mitts its highly unlikely that you will ever feel any discomfort while holding them.

You can move the grill around fairly easily on flat surfaces as it has its own set of wheels, the grill also has an ash catcher that is very handy at times when you need to clean the grill as it is removable.  You can attach the rapid-fire chimney starter to the Ranch Kettle and this is an optional accessory, the chimney starter gives you the ability to have the grill ready to cook in fifteen minutes without the use of lighter fuel.
