Weber Original Kettle 18 Inch Charcoal Grill Black

Weber Original Kettle 18 Inch Charcoal Grill Black

Q: Assembly help! I'm stuck on page 9, step 9 - what is the purpose of the H piece? I can't get it to stay on there.

The "H" piece goes on from the bottom and connects to the 3 bladed vent covers that fit on the inside. You have to install the 3 bladed vent covers, then reach up from the bottom with the "H" piece and install the long steel rod with the loop bended on the end. This is the handle that allows to open/close the vent. When you start up the grill you open them and to cool down/extinguish the coals you close the vent, also ash will fall out of these holes. During assembly I found it hard to install the "H" piece, because you have to hold down the 3 bladed vent cover with one hand while using the other to install the "H" piece and steel handle. I suggest you have someone help hold down the 3 bladed vent cover while you install the "H" piece and then slide in the steel handle to retain all.

Q: Please say YES! Does the lid hold when titled to the side? Female WC used, the lid is too heavy to remove so say yes it tilts and make my day!

You can purchase a separate hinge kit from unknownbbq.com that will keep the lid attached to your grill. It also has a removable pin to take the lid off all together. They aren’t cheap at around $50 to $60!

Q: Are the grill grates hinged with this model?

So... we have 1 yes and 3 no's... I probably wasn't very clear in my initial question what I'm asking if the top grill grate has a hinged section that you can lift up during your cook to add additional coals. I think it only comes stock on the Gold series kettle after doing more research.

Q: can you use would instead of charcoal?

I assume you meant 'Wood'. The Weber (like all charcoal grills) is designed for charcoal and a different design is required for wood. I've read that wood burns hotter than charcoal, but we tried to roast potatoes wrapped in Aluminum foil on a camping trip by setting them in the coals and the aluminum got vaporized! I have see videos of professional BBQ chefs and competitors use wood by burning it separately from the smoker then using a shovel to load the coals in the smoker, but I think they were just creating 'quick charcoal'. As a former boy scout, you want to cook on coals, not flaming wood. It seems to me there is little difference -from a cooking standpoint-between a a charcoal fire and a burned down wood fire. The Charcoal may last longer and provide a more even heat; which is really the whole point in fuel selection. If I was in a pinch and out of charcoal I would build a wood fire in a pit and when it had burned down to hot coals, transfer them to the grill. I would not start a wood fire in the Weber and wait for hard wood to burn down to cooking level. Don't think it would do well, but maybe someone out there has tried it?
