I had a big box grill I liked but kept having to replace every couple of years because it would rust out. Frustrated, I started researching and simply couldn't ignore all the positive things I heard about the kettle. I chose the 26 over the 22 because I also found myself running out of room on my old grill and wanted avoid that. From the waist up, I love the thing. Performance is great. However, the legs seem super flimsy and I'm terrified every time I move it that they are going to collapse. Also, the included foot for the non wheeled leg started falling off from the first time I wheeled it out to cook. No a big deal but I feel like both those things would be easy for them to improve.
