Developed from Weber's original 1952 heritage kettle barbecue design the Weber Original Kettle 57cm Black uses all Weber®'s hard gained knowledge and experience of charcoal grilling that they have acquired over the last 60 years so while the kettle design may look very familiar features such as the easy to control fully vented barbecue kettle and stainless steel One-Touch cleaning system make sure there is nothing old fashioned about the grilling performance and simplicity of use.
The lid and bowl of the kettle of the Weber Original Kettle 57cm Black are constructed from robust, durable porcelain enamel coated steel which is designed to be used and abused giving fantastic resilience to fire, rust and the elements to ensure a long and happy grilling life for the barbecue.

All that is needed to be done is to simply slide the One-Touch Cleaning system handle from side to side to move the three aluminised steel blades inside the kettle causing the ashes to fall onto the no-rust ash catcher suspended below the bowl.
Underneath the No-rust Ash Catcher there is a convenient shelf fitted between the legs for keeping utensils and accessories to hand when grilling as well crack -proof all weather wheels so the Weber Original Kettle 57cm Black can be easily moved around to the ideal spot for grilling where ever that may be.
The lid of the Weber Original Kettle 57cm Black, which is designed to be kept in place when the barbecue is in use to create the perfect grilling conditions, has a weather-proof handle with protective heat shield complete with lid mounted thermometer, a real plus when indirect grilling, and a rust-proof aluminium vent to control the air flow and temperature under the lid for fantastic results whatever the food is being barbecued.
