I am a 66-year-old male living in Long Island, New York and I replaced my old grill with this Kettle. This is my first Weber and is great and worth the price. It's big with plenty of room to cook. I haven't used it much yet, but I have been checking videos to learn how to use the charcoal according with the type of cooking you wish to do (slow on low heat or quick on high heat). I am happy with my purchase and I would recommend this product to anybody.
