Sometimes in life, it's true that less is better. If you don't need the Rolls Royce of charcoal grills, then check out the Weber One Touch Gold 758001 22.5" Charcoal Grill. Although it lacks many of the bells and whistles of high-end grills, this model is handy if you need a basic grill with a few conveniences that will make your grilling (and life) easier.

This grill includes a signature feature that Weber grills have featured since 1951: the kettle-design. The lower chamber of this style of grill gets its name from its shape; namely, it resembles a kettle. One of the main benefits is that you can prevent flare-ups, which can create some potentially dangerous situations. But it doesn't end there! By placing the lid atop the grill, you can encourage "convection" cooking.

To review some stuff most of us have forgotten from high school physics--convection is the flow of air through various substances (which can include meat). By controlling the environment that the meat is cooking in, air flows evenly through the beef, chicken, seafood, pork or lamb that you cook. Thus, this produces meat that's perfectly cooked and tastes and you can taste the perfection. Also, by trapping the smoke in the grill, the flavor from the meat's juices won't just go up in smoke-they'll permeate the meat again for that oh-so-wonderful smoky taste that your relatives and guests will enjoy.

As with other grills from Weber, the essence of the Weber One Touch Gold 758001 22.5" Charcoal Grill starts with quality. Some key features include:

Bowl and lid made from porcelain enamel
Nickel-plated cooking grate
Weather-proof wheels

Durability is certainly one of the key features of any quality grill. Whether you grill once a month or once a day, you'll want the unit to function without falling apart. Unfortunately, that's not guaranteed when you choose models from other manufacturers. But Weber has been producing and perfecting grills since 1951, with one of its signature features being top-notch craftsmanship. So if you want a grill with a sturdy construction, this Weber grill is definitely one of your best options.

The dimensions of the grill are 34.2" x 24.5" x 15", with a weight of about 37 pounds. While larger than smaller portable grills, this model is light enough to transfer to anywhere you plan to do some grilling-including parks, beaches, and mountaintops. The two sturdy wheels make it a cinch to move this model around, and their durable construction will help to prevent them from rusting in rain, sleet or snow!

Another big benefit of the Weber One Touch Gold 758001 is it size. The grilling surface is large enough to prepare six large steaks or 12 burgers. That's definitely enough if you need to cook for a mid-size family or function. While it's always helpful to have some growing room when choosing a grill, having a grill that's too large is always preferable to having one that won't accommodate the amount of mouths that you need to feed.

Another key benefit of this Weber One Touch Gold 758001 22.5" Charcoal Grill is that it has the perfect amount of conveniences for grilling. You'll find a pair of hinged side openings that are built right into the grill. That makes it both safe and easy to add briquettes to your grill. Then there's the dilemma of what to do with the lid when you're not using it. That's also not a problem with this model! There's a practical hook on the bowl, which lets you store it with ease.

But arguably one of the most convenient features of this grill from Weber is the One-Touch cleaning system. It's so innovative that Weber has actually patented it! A group of blades that are activated by a lever, help to sift out ash in the kettle. The ash then drops into a convenient ash catcher, which you can easily clean without getting your hands messy. The whole process of emptying the ash catcher takes mere seconds!

Finally, no Weber grill would be complete without a warranty. This one includes a limited 10-year warranty that will keep your mind at ease.

When you need a grill that's basic but not too basic, then consider the Weber One Touch Gold 758001 22.5" Charcoal Grill. It has all the essentials of a standard grill-with a few perks that make it even better!
