FAQs
How do I light charcoal in the Weber Bar-B-Kettle?
Use a chimney starter for a quick and even lighting of charcoal. Place charcoal in the chimney, light the paper or fire starter, and wait until the coals are ashed over.
What type of charcoal should I use?
You can use briquettes or lump charcoal. Briquettes provide consistent heat, while lump charcoal burns hotter and imparts a smoky flavor.
How do I control the temperature?
Adjust the dampers. More open dampers increase airflow and temperature. Close the dampers to decrease airflow and temperature.
How often should I clean the grill?
Clean the cooking grates after each use. Empty the ash catcher after each use. A deep cleaning can be done a few times a year.
Can I use the Weber Bar-B-Kettle in the rain?
While the grill is durable, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended. Use a grill cover when not in use.
What's the warranty?
The bowl and lid have a 10-year warranty against rust through/burn through.
How do I extinguish the coals?
Close the dampers completely to cut off the oxygen supply. The coals will extinguish themselves within a few hours.
Troubleshooting
Grill won't get hot enough.
Ensure the dampers are open and you have sufficient charcoal. Check for any air leaks.
Uneven cooking.
Ensure charcoal is evenly distributed. Rotate food periodically.
Difficult to control temperature.
Practice adjusting the dampers to regulate airflow and temperature.
Rust appears on the grill.
Clean and maintain the grill regularly, store it in a dry place, and consider using a grill cover.
