It includes a hinged lid system and the special heat diffuser plate with charcoal ring for smoking. I have to make it clear at the outset that I’m a Weber fan and I bought this item myself, albeit with Riverside Garden Centre vouchers generously bought for me by family and friends for a milestone birthday last year. It is my third Weber 57cm kettle and sits alongside my 57cm Weber Smokey Mountain.It would need a more scientific assessment to judge the build quality now that they manufacture in China rather than the U.S.A. My perception is that the pressed steel and porcelain seems lighter and thinner. Operation This delicious salsa accompanied some Korean rubbed pork tenderloins and they were seared each side over Read More > I wanted something for small scale low and slow because the 57cm WSM is big and consumes quite a lot of fuel. Putting it Together The only gripes with the build quality and assembly was wheel retainer clips catching on the wheel slightly and the force needed to fit the tubular legs into the bottom of the bowl.

Don’t think this is enough for a long cook of say, 6+ hours. I tried around 75. The char ring is shallow but will take a double layer of Heat Beads. The diffuser sits over the ring and is supposed to sit flat. I had trouble getting the briquettes flat enough and even more trouble fitting wood chunks in. First time I ended up using chips instead of chunks. The large 57cm diameter cooking area is big enough to cater for a family, triple plated for durability and featuring hinged sides which allows you add extra fuel whilst cooking; without needing to remove the whole grill (and the food) to do so.
