Does size matter? Throughout life, this is a question that we ask time and time again. The answer isn't that easy. Even in the world of grills, a larger size grill doesn't necessarily result in a superior grill. Sometimes it does, but not always. Sure, larger grills like the Weber 26-Inch One-Touch Gold Grill 781001 will certainly give you more options than a 22-inch model. But that's not to say that the larger grills will automatically meet all of your grilling needs. Still, if you can find a quality grill that's also large, then you've found a two-for-one deal that's definitely worth its weight in gold.

Here are some features that make this grill larger than average-sized grills:

26.5" in diameter
36 pounds
42.3" height

Among kettle grills, this is one of the largest ones that you'll find on the market. If you have a large family, or big functions with friends or family then this is the right kettle for you. While the difference between 22" and 26" grills may seem marginal, this can make a huge difference if you're entertaining a small army of guests. If you tend to have larger functions with your guests, then the 26" can make enough of a difference to keep your guests satisfied instead of starving. So in a nutshell, it's always best to have too much surface space on a grill, rather than too little.

But not only is this grill huge, but it's also sturdy. These are some of the main features that give it that characteristic:

porcelain-enameled bowl and lid
no-rust aluminum vent
stainless steel hinged cooking grate
heat-resistant handle
crack-proof and all-weather wheels

All of these features help to ensure that the Weber 26-Inch One-Touch Gold Grill 781001 is strong as an ox. This is a crucial feature of grills. Grilling can cause a lot of wear and tear on the equipment, and eventually this can result in components becoming burnt, chipped, cracked, rusted, and so on. But you can always trust Weber grills to be strong enough for all your grilling needs. This will give you peace of mind, since you won't need to worry about components becoming damaged or completely destroyed. You probably want to spend most of your time focusing on your grilling, right?

Since 1951, Weber had been producing a wide array of quality grills. This is one of its signature kettle grills. The lower chamber is shaped like a kettle-thus giving it its name. After covering the grill using its dome-shaped lid, convection cooking allows air to flow evenly throughout the grill-resulting in meat that's cooked evenly throughout the whole piece of meat. This not only helps to produce perfectly cooked meat, but can also prevent various illnesses resulting from undercooked meat.

So without a doubt, the Weber 26-Inch One-Touch Gold Grill 781001 is definitely one of the sturdiest grills on the market. But not only is the grill large and sturdy, but it's also convenient as well. These features include:

built-in thermometer
One-Touch cleaning system
char-basket charcoal fuel holders
cookbook
limited warranty

At first, these features may seem to be insignificant. But in reality, they can make your grilling significantly easier. The built-in thermometer can help to monitor the temperature of the cooking area, helping to produce meat that's not only perfectly grilled, but also healthy as well.

The char-basket charcoal fuel holders help to ensure that the charcoal is neatly stored for use on the grill. The One-Touch cleaning system makes cleanup a cinch. This is obviously one of the least enjoyable parts of grilling, but it becomes much more manageable with this grill from Weber.

Next, the cookbook gives you some outstanding recipes that you can prepare for your family and friends. Variety is indeed the spice of grilling! And finally, while Weber produces some of the best grills in the world, the limited warranty will help to prepare for accidents-since sometimes they happen to the best of us.

While the Weber 26-Inch One-Touch Gold Grill 781001 is big, its features don't end there. This grill from Weber is also sturdy and convenient. Bigger isn't always better, but this grill is both bigger AND better.
