The Weber® Kettle. The Australian Barbecue Icon.
Why is this so?
Over 50 years ago, the first Weber® kettle was built. It changed Australian
attitudes towards barbecuing forever. For the first time, Weber's indirect
cooking system allowed ordinary people to roast whole joints of meat with
delicious barbecue flavour. Even now the incredible flavour of these barbecue
roasts still distinguishes the Weber kettle from all the other barbecues sold
in this country. As a result, the Weber kettle is the only barbecue in Australia
to ever attain icon status. Everyone agrees, it's synonymous with spectacular
food and memorable entertaining.

The secret is in the indirect cooking.
How does it work?
Looking at the picture you can see that coals are positioned out to the sides
while the food is placed on the upper grill between the two fires. The fat
from the turkey will drop into the disposable drip tray below. This means
that you get much healthier, fat-free cooking without those horrible fat-fires.
Weber call this 'indirect cooking' because the food is cooked using natural
convection without any fire directly underneath it. Apart from the unforgettable
flavour, the great advantage of using this method of cooking is that you
don't have to turn the meat. You're free to do whatever you want while the
Weber kettle cooks the most extraordinary roast, every time.
This icon can also barbecue with unmatchable flavour.
Some people think it's hard to justify lighting their Weber kettle just to
cook steaks. The real Weber enthusiasts know, however, that what the Weber
kettle does for roasts it can also do for steaks and kebabs. Steaks, for
example, are cooked directly over real coals (not lava or ceramic rock) with
the lid covering them. Natural convection cooking makes them the juiciest steaks
you'll ever enjoy. The smoke from the coals creates a barbecue flavour that
is unmatchable. You only have to taste one steak cooked inside a Weber kettle
to know that steaks cooked on ordinary barbecues are just that ... ordinary.

An Explanation of the Weber Charcoal Range
Weber's new range of charcoal barbecues incorporates the Compact
Kettle, the One-Touch Silver & Gold
Kettle Ranges,
the Performer, two Specialty
Kettles and Portable
Charcoal barbecues.
The Compact is the most basic kettle made by Weber. It requires more assembly
than the One-Touch line and cannot be converted to gas using Weber's gas kit.
The One-Touch line is divided into the Silver and Gold ranges,
with the One-Touch Gold having the most innovative features. The One-Touch
kettles are available in a 57cm model designed for family cooking.
All 57cm One-Touch kettles incorporate Weber's ingenious Rapidfire system.
The Performer incorporates a gas ignition system which makes lighting quicker
and easier.
Weber makes two specialty kettles: the Ranch, which is the largest barbecue kettle
in the world and is especially designed for caterers and clubs, and the Smokey
Mountain Cooker, which simply creates the best smoke food you've ever tasted.
In addition to these lines, a Stainless Steel Gas Kit is
also available to convert a 57cm Weber Silver or Gold One-Touch kettle to gas.
This is the only gas kit designed by Weber and is superior to the other kits
on the market.

All Weber charcoal kettles come with Weber's 10-year limited warranty,
except the Compact Kettle which has a 5 year limited warranty.
