According to reviews of charcoal grills, the Weber One-Touch Silver kettle grill -- available in 18.5-inch (*Est. $70) or 22.5-inch (*Est. $90) sizes -- has a proven design, efficient heating and an easy-to-use cleaning system, making it the best value among budget charcoal grills. The large dome lid allows the Weber One-Touch Silver to double as a smoker. It comes with a 10-year warranty on the exterior (one year on the cooking grates). The 22.5-inch Weber One-Touch Silver is roomy enough to handle a 12-pound turkey, but if you need something larger, the Char-Griller Outlaw (*Est. $150) earns better reviews for high-volume grilling.

This mislabeled collection actually consists of owner reviews of the Weber One-Touch Silver 18.5-inch grill. With over 130 reviews gathered from other sites (none from Amazon.com or Walmart.com, however), the average rating given the One-Touch Silver is 4.6 out of 5 stars. The few complaints are of things like a leg that got wobbly or that it takes too long for the coals to heat thoroughly.
