I've owned two 22.5 Weber OTS Kettle grills over the past 25 years. I had to replace the first one because of what I thought was peeling paint inside the lid and kettle but subsequent reading--AFTER I gave the old one away and bought a new one--said it was just carbon buildup.
I have had many charcoal grills. Broke down earlier this year and bought a 22.5 weber otg kettle and cant ever imagine grilling on any thing but my kettle now. For smokes I love my wsm.
Anyway, I've had my current one for about three years and won't grill with anything else. I've done some smoking by adding soaked wood chips to the charcoal but typically it's straight grilling. The newer ones don't come with the hinged cooking grate sections like my original one did so I bought the hinged grate on sale last summer. I then found a recipe that called for two-tier grilling and I was set.
I love the Weber kettle grill; we've been backyard buddies for a long time. For smoking I've got a Masterbuilt 30" electric smokehouse. Both of these were tremendous values for someone like me who's content to remain just a family
