Food for the Masses: The Weber Ranch Kettle Grill

There are moments when a portable grill， or even a full-sized charcoal or gas version will not suit your needs. Whether you're catering for an extended family gathering， cooking hot dogs for the neighborhood block party， or fundraising for a local charity， there will come a time when your grilling skills will be called upon. And the Weber Ranch Kettle will be ready to help. With a 37 inch diameter and over 1000 square inches of cooking surface， this is undoubtedly the largest charcoal grill Weber has ever made. While these grills aren't for the faint of heart， they're not hard to use and they'll feed everyone on the ranch at once.

Prep For Your Gathering

Your party is on the horizon and you've equipped your backyard patio with the massive Weber Ranch Kettle grill. You're not finished yet; while this grill can definitely multitask， you're going to need some significant gear before you get that charcoal aflame. First， lighting that grill will be a bit of a task using just charcoal and a lighter. Instead， equip yourself with Weber's charcoal-starting grill tools and gadgets. A chimney starter and charcoal fuel holder will help to start your cooking session off with high-heat glowing briquettes. Adding charcoal during your cook is easy， too; just open the hinged crate and spill in charcoal on either side of the bowl. Lifting the lid is easy， too. Instead of holding the massive lid in one hand or setting it on a nearby table， slide it over into the built-in lid holder.

Wield grilling utensils like long spatulas， tongs， and basting brushes like a pro， moving from one side of the Weber Ranch Kettle to the other. Alternatively， recruit a family member or friend to help you keep burgers flipping all across the Weber Ranch Kettle. This grill can do more than just cook classics like burgers and hot dogs， too. Cook turkeys (plural)， brisket， ribs， and more on this grate. Get creative with multiple pizza stones， corn husks， and desserts too; the options are endless. As long as you keep the heat coming， the Weber Ranch Kettle will keep grilling.
