The Compact Kettle Charcoal Barbecue is a versatile and reliable model from the renowned Weber brand. Designed to meet the needs of both beginners and experienced barbecue enthusiasts, this barbecue combines compact design, high quality materials and ease of use. Available in three variants, Ø 47 cm, Ø 57 cm and Ø 47 cm with briquettes, it fits perfectly into different spaces and culinary preferences.
Compact Design for Small Spaces
The Compact Kettle is characterised by its rounded and compact design, which makes it a perfect solution for those who want to save space without sacrificing functionality. Thanks to its small size, it fits perfectly on small patios, balconies or terraces, making it possible to enjoy a grill in spaces where it was previously unthinkable. This compact design not only makes it easy to use in space-constrained locations, but also allows it to be conveniently transported to any location, such as outdoor gatherings, camping trips or beach getaways.
Despite its size, the Compact Kettle does not sacrifice capacity or performance. Its design is optimised for ample cooking space, while its lightweight construction and sturdy wheels make it easy to move around. Even in households with limited storage space, the Compact Kettle is easy to store thanks to its compact dimensions. This balance between functionality and practicality makes it perfect for those looking for a portable grill that meets all their expectations.
Durable Construction with High Quality Materials
When it comes to durability, the Compact Kettle is designed to last for years, withstanding the demands of frequent use and harsh weather conditions. Its lid and bowl are made of vitrified steel, a material that not only withstands high temperatures, but is also easy to clean and highly resistant to corrosion. This ensures that the grill keeps its appearance and functionality intact over time, even with intensive use.
The fibreglass-reinforced nylon handles are another example of Weber’s attention to detail. These handles are heat resistant, allowing safe handling of the barbecue even when it is in full operation. In addition, the rust-resistant aluminium control knobs facilitate precise temperature control, giving users perfect cooking for every preparation. Every component of the Compact Kettle is designed with quality and longevity in mind, making this barbecue a reliable investment for any barbecue lover.
Versatile Cooking: Direct and Indirect Cooking
The versatility of the Compact Kettle is one of its greatest attractions, as it allows users to experiment with different cooking techniques. With the direct cooking method, food is placed directly on the coals, which is ideal for small cuts of meat, burgers, steaks or vegetables that need a quick sear. This method ensures intense and juicy cooking, achieving that characteristic grilled flavour that is so popular.
On the other hand, the indirect cooking method transforms this barbecue into a portable oven, perfect for more elaborate preparations such as whole chickens, large fish or roasts that require even and prolonged cooking. By placing the coals on the sides and the food in the centre, an enveloping heat flow is created to ensure tender, well-cooked results. This ability to adapt to different types of recipes makes the Compact Kettle an ideal choice for both beginners and experts looking to experiment with new techniques.
Easy Cleaning with the One-Touch System
One of the most practical innovations of the Compact Kettle is its One-Touch cleaning system, designed to facilitate the maintenance of the barbecue. This system allows the ashes to be removed quickly and efficiently by simply turning a lever that directs them into a removable aluminium collector. This container is not only easy to empty, but also prevents the accumulation of ash inside the tank, which helps to keep the barbecue in perfect condition and prolongs its useful life.
This cleaning system is especially useful for those who enjoy frequent grilling, as it significantly reduces the time and effort needed to prepare the grill for the next use. In addition, regular cleaning of the Compact Kettle not only ensures a flawless appearance, but also optimises its performance, allowing you to enjoy a perfect cooking experience every time.
All-weather Mobility and Stability
The Compact Kettle is designed to offer exceptional mobility without compromising stability during use. Its sturdy wheels are made of durable materials that withstand daily wear and tear as well as the harshest weather conditions. This makes it an ideal choice for those who need to move it between different areas of the home, whether in the garden, on the terrace or even during camping trips.
Despite its light weight, the barbecue is sturdy and stable, ensuring safe cooking, even on uneven surfaces. Its well-balanced design ensures that it does not wobble during use, offering peace of mind and comfort to users. This combination of portability and stability makes the Compact Kettle a reliable companion for any type of grilling, no matter where it takes place.
Weber Briquettes
For those who opt for the Ø 47 cm variant with briquettes included, the cooking experience is made even more complete by the 3 kg of Weber briquettes that come with the package. These briquettes are made from 100 % natural wood and are FSC-certified, which ensures that they are environmentally friendly and free of added chemicals. This high quality fuel ignites quickly and offers an extended burn time of up to 3 hours, allowing you to enjoy extensive grilling without the need to add more charcoal.
The use of Weber briquettes guarantees a constant and even heat, which is essential for perfect results in every preparation. In addition, being a natural product, they ensure that food retains its pure, authentic flavour, enhancing the grilling experience.
