Weber 26 Inch Smoke Gray 588 Square-Inch Master-Touch Charcoal Grill

As expected, good quality, like cooking area increase from 22” this replaced. Still bottom air damper/ash sweep is suspect for longevity, flimsy aluminum damper wings, connection area prone to decay, break down and eventual rust through as experienced with all weber kettles I’ve had.

I love using this grill. The food that comes off is so awesome, can't compare it to anything else. It's easy to use, and I love the size of it. I wasn't sure if it was worth the extra money over the 22", but it is. There is a ton of room to cook on it, and I don't regret getting the bigger grill at all.

Really pleased with the 26". So much room, easy to clean Easy to add coals when you need them. Offset smoked a whole brisket, a big one, a couple weeks ago. Big enough 2 big slabs of ribs can offset smoke easily. Adds a whole new dimension to cooking with a Weber.

Outstanding product. That Weber can do almost anything my offsets can. It holds temperature very well and for long cooks. I will recommend this to anyone. I like both my 22" Weber's which I have set up for different techniques but the room in the 26 is what i like the most. You need to thank Heath Riles for promoting this cooker. That is why I purchased it.

Absolutely amazing in size compared to the 22”. After using a 22” for years it was very versatile but just lacked space. So when i bought the 26” and put it beside my 22 it looked massive. Then the shear weight of the lid is definitely heavier and possibly heavier gauge. If your on the fence tip into the 26”. About the same coal usage as the 22 - the only negative on the 26” is lack of accessories. Other than that its a perfect grill for smoking/ grilling/searing.

Owned a few 22" kettles, love to cook on it. Discovered the snake method of cooking and have enjoyed several great cuts of meat. Cooking on the 22" was always a little tight. Had a brisket seasoned the night before, my boys showed up with a 26" , man this thing just rolls along like a dream. Makes me look like a pro, loving it

Great quality and craftsmanship Plenty of room with the 26" grill Ease of cleaning with the charcoal bin And great results from beef to vegetables so we already have used our weber quit a bit and we love it !

Been cooking on Weber charcoal and gas grills/smokers for 30 years. Aftter a recent house fire I had to replace all my cookers including a 22 inch kettle and WSM 18. So was excited to find a kettle that I could replace both with. Overall love I this 26 inch kettle. The size and design give it a massive range of capabilities, being great for hot/fast, 2 zone and low/slow cooks. With its 40% more capacity, it seems like the perfect upgrade to the 22, then you get to accessories. While there are massive amounts for the 22, there is hardly anything for the 26. Hell even Weber doesnt make any for the 26. Basics like carts, grill grates, shelves or even tool hooks,hard to find them. Overall its a great grill but 1 star off for limited upgrades

The 26” Master Touch is Weber’s best grill. It’s the perfect size for every cook from hamburgers to smoked briskets. My only complaint is the lack of accessories.

For the most part, I love my new Weber 26! It is my 3rd Kettle (22" premium and 22" original). Only issue I have is the lid doesn't seem to fit snug, unless facing a certain way. Not sure if the lid, bowl or both are slightly off round
