Four to six in the garden
You can judge the heat without a lid number, and you want a stand and wheels rather than a barbecue you carry. The Compact 47 cm is the lowest shelf price in this set, with a stated 1,548 cm² grate.
Weber charcoal barbecue comparison 2026 for the UK
The best Weber charcoal barbecues, compared.
Top pick: Weber Go-Anywhere Charcoal BBQ – Highest score in this comparison, 9.4 out of 10, from 1,645 amazon.co.uk reviews. Best value: Weber Compact Kettle Charcoal Barbecue 47 cm – Lowest shelf price in the set at about £49.49, with a 1,548 cm² grate stated for four to six people. Updated October 2026.
A Weber charcoal barbecue on amazon.co.uk is a covered kettle on a stand or a small portable. What matters is how many people you cook for, and whether you will carry it. Weber’s wording puts a 47 cm kettle at four to six people and 1,548 cm², and a 57 cm kettle at six to eight people and 2,342 cm². The Go-Anywhere and the Smokey Joe are the portables, for about two to four people. Separate them by a lid thermometer, cleaning, a hinged grate, and a UK model against a US import. The listings share one review pool, and the colours share another. A catalogue area of 47 or 57 square centimetres is not the grate. Use the [Weber charcoal barbecue buying guide](/hub/grill-accessories/weber-charcoal-barbecue/sub/weber-charcoal-barbecue-buying-guide) for the decision order. It is not a gas or electric barbecue, and it is not a 230 volt appliance. The nine amazon.co.uk listings split into stand kettles and two portable shapes.

The best Weber charcoal barbecues in detail
Our view
The UK Go-Anywhere model 1131004 combines a rectangular 1,032 cm² cooking area with folding legs that lock the lid for transport. Weber states 6.78 kg, while the amazon.co.uk listing says 5.22 kg, but either figure places it well below a full-size premium kettle. Its 4.7 average from 1,645 reviews is the strongest rating line in this set and the listing requires no assembly. The removable triple-plated grate and adjustable damper suit straightforward cooking for two to four people, particularly when boot space matters. The rectangular shape packs more efficiently than a Smokey Joe, although it does not provide the standing height or six-to-eight-person area of a 57 cm kettle. Amazon’s 56.66 cm² catalogue area is not credible, so Weber’s 1,032 cm² figure is the useful reference.
Pros
- Rectangular shape and folding legs suit transport
- 1,032 cm² cooking area for two to four people
- No assembly required on this listing
- 4.7 from 1,645 amazon.co.uk reviews
Cons
- Manufacturer and Amazon weight figures differ
- No standing-height trolley or wheels
- Amazon catalogue cooking-area field is unreliable
Best for: Camping, camper vans and outdoor trips where a supported UK portable with a rectangular footprint is easier to pack
Less suitable: Six-to-eight-person garden cooking, or anyone who wants a wheeled stand and a built-in lid thermometer

Common questions
Is this a charcoal barbecue?
Yes. The amazon.co.uk fuel line is charcoal, and the format is a rectangular portable. This ASIN is model 1131004, not the imported model 1500763.
Does it have a lid thermometer?
The listing does not name a lid thermometer. Heat control is the damper, which can be closed to reduce the oxygen supply after cooking.
Is assembly required?
This listing says assembly is not required. The separate imported Go-Anywhere listing does require assembly, so the two ASINs should stay separate.
Our view
This Go-Anywhere uses a rectangular grate and char-rail insert to provide a compact indirect-cooking layout for two to four people. At 29.2 × 49.5 × 38.1 cm and a listed 6.35 kg, model 1500763 packs more neatly than a round stand kettle. The two-piece grate is the useful distinction in this listing, especially if you want to separate food from the coals. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 117 reviews, a positive but much smaller evidence base than the UK model 1131004. This ASIN is a US import and the manufacturer warranty will not apply, which materially weakens its value at about £97.43. Assembly is also required here, unlike the separate UK Go-Anywhere listing, so the two ASINs should not be merged.
Pros
- Rectangular format packs efficiently
- Two-piece grate and char-rail support indirect cooking
- Listed for two to four people
- 4.6 from 117 amazon.co.uk reviews
Cons
- US import with no applicable manufacturer warranty
- Assembly required
- Far fewer reviews than model 1131004
Best for: A traveller who specifically wants the char-rail layout and accepts an imported model without the manufacturer warranty
Less suitable: Buyers who want the supported UK Go-Anywhere model, no assembly, or a larger family cooking area

Common questions
Is this a charcoal barbecue?
Yes. The amazon.co.uk fuel line is charcoal, and the format is a rectangular portable listed for two to four people. The model number is 1500763.
Does it have a lid thermometer?
The listing does not name a lid thermometer. The named layout is a two-piece grate and a char-rail insert.
Is assembly required?
The listing says assembly is required. It also says the manufacturer warranty will not apply, because this ASIN is a US import.
Our view
The black Smokey Joe Premium puts a 37 cm covered charcoal grate into a carryable kettle with a Tuck-N-Carry lid lock. Weber’s model page gives 948 cm² and 5.48 kg for model 1121004, making it much easier to lift than a 47 cm stand kettle. Its damper can be adjusted without removing the lid and closed to reduce the oxygen supply when cooking is over. The amazon.co.uk listing shows 4.5 from 1,394 reviews, but that pool is shared with the slate colour and must not be counted twice. It suits roughly two to four people rather than the six-to-eight-person job of a 57 cm kettle. The catalogue’s 4.5 g weight and 0.11 m² area are inconsistent with Weber’s specifications, so they should not guide the purchase.
Pros
- Tuck-N-Carry lid lock doubles as a lid holder
- Weber states a manageable 5.48 kg weight
- Damper can be adjusted with the lid in place
- Large shared review pool of 1,394 ratings
Cons
- Smaller cooking area than a 47 cm stand kettle
- No lid thermometer or One-Touch system named
- Amazon catalogue weight is clearly erroneous
Best for: Two to four people who want a round portable kettle for camping, picnics or occasional small-space cooking outdoors
Less suitable: Larger garden gatherings, or buyers who need a wheeled working height and a built-in thermometer

Common questions
Is this a charcoal barbecue?
Yes. The amazon.co.uk fuel line is charcoal, and the format is a 37 cm portable kettle. Weber states 948 cm² and 5.48 kg for model 1121004.
Does it have a lid thermometer?
The listing does not name a lid thermometer or a One-Touch system. The damper can be adjusted with the lid in place.
Is assembly required?
The listing says assembly is required. The 1,394 reviews are shared with the slate colour and should not be added to that listing.
Our view
This slate Smokey Joe Premium uses the same 37 cm portable-kettle format as the black model, with a Tuck-N-Carry lock that secures the lid during transport. Weber states 948 cm² and 5.48 kg for model 1121004, a practical size for two to four people when the barbecue must be lifted. The damper provides heat control without repeatedly removing the lid and can be closed to starve the coals of oxygen after cooking. Its 4.5 average from 1,394 amazon.co.uk reviews is shared with the black colour, so the two listings do not represent separate review evidence. The delivered-colour wording says Slate Blue while one catalogue model-name line says Black, which is a listing-quality problem rather than a performance difference. There is no named lid thermometer or One-Touch cleaning system, and the smaller grate remains the main compromise against a garden kettle.
Pros
- Portable 37 cm covered-kettle format
- Tuck-N-Carry system locks and holds the lid
- Weber states 5.48 kg for model 1121004
- Damper control works without lifting the lid
Cons
- Shared ratings cannot be treated as a second review pool
- Colour and model-name fields conflict
- No thermometer or One-Touch system named
Best for: A buyer who wants the slate colour of a Smokey Joe for two to four people and expects to carry it outdoors
Less suitable: Anyone needing a family-size grate, a standing-height trolley, or unambiguous catalogue colour data

Common questions
Is this a charcoal barbecue?
Yes. The amazon.co.uk fuel line is charcoal, and the format is a 37 cm portable kettle. The model number on this listing is 1126804.
Does it have a lid thermometer?
The listing does not name a lid thermometer. Colour data also conflict: the delivered-colour line says Slate Blue, while a model-name line says Black.
Is assembly required?
The listing says assembly is required. Its 1,394 reviews are the same pool as the black Smokey Joe, not a second set of opinions.
Our view
The Compact Kettle 57 cm gives you a stated 2,342 cm² cooking area for six to eight people while retaining the simple stand-and-wheels layout. At about £99.99, it costs less than the smaller Original 47 cm, so the price is buying grate size rather than a thermometer or upgraded ash system. Its 4.5 average from 378 amazon.co.uk reviews supplies a reasonable evidence base, though the near-identical Compact review totals may reflect a shared variation family. The plated-steel grate, porcelain-enamelled bowl and lid hook are straightforward features for conventional charcoal cooking. The bullets do not name a lid thermometer, and they describe an ash catcher rather than One-Touch cleaning. Catalogue fields such as 57 cm² of cooking area and a 3.77 kg weight conflict with the product format, so they should not be relied upon.
Pros
- 2,342 cm² area stated for six to eight people
- Competitive shelf price at about £99.99
- Stand, wheels, bottom shelf and lid hook
- 4.5 from 378 amazon.co.uk reviews
Cons
- No lid thermometer named in the bullets
- No One-Touch cleaning system named
- Catalogue area and weight fields are unreliable
Best for: A larger garden gathering where grate area matters more than a thermometer, hinged grate or removable One-Touch ash catcher
Less suitable: Buyers prioritising premium controls, dependable weight data, or a barbecue that can be carried easily

Common questions
Is this a charcoal barbecue?
Yes. The amazon.co.uk fuel line is charcoal, and the format is a kettle on a stand. The listing states 2,342 cm² for six to eight people. Model 1502061 is not Bar-B-Kettle 1502062.
Does it have a lid thermometer?
Not in the bullet points. Special features say Compact. The ash system is described as an ash catcher, not One-Touch cleaning.
Is assembly required?
The listing says assembly is required. Ignore the catalogue cooking area of 57 square centimetres and the 3.77 kg weight line.
Our view
The Compact Kettle 47 cm provides a 1,548 cm² grate that the listing describes for four to six people, while its stand and wheels make it easier to position in a garden than a tabletop portable. At about £49.49, it is the lowest-priced barbecue in this set and the strongest value if you do not need a lid thermometer or One-Touch cleaning. Its 4.5 average from 377 amazon.co.uk reviews gives the score a useful evidence base, although it is not a substitute for a product test. The plated-steel grate, porcelain-enamelled bowl and lid hook cover the essentials without the fittings of the Original range. The bullets do not name a thermometer, and the ash catcher is not described as the removable One-Touch system. Several catalogue fields are plainly unreliable, including a 47 cm² cooking area, so the title and stated 1,548 cm² area are the figures to use.
Pros
- 1,548 cm² cooking area stated for four to six people
- Lowest shelf price in the set at about £49.49
- Stand, wheels, bottom shelf and lid hook
- 4.5 from 377 amazon.co.uk reviews
Cons
- No lid thermometer named in the bullets
- Ash catcher is not described as One-Touch
- Several catalogue specification fields are unreliable
Best for: A first garden kettle for four to six people when price matters more than a thermometer or premium ash system
Less suitable: Cooks who want a lid temperature reading, One-Touch cleaning, or a barbecue built to carry to a campsite

Common questions
Is this a charcoal barbecue?
Yes. The amazon.co.uk fuel line is charcoal, and the format is a kettle on a stand. The listing states 1,548 cm² for four to six people. Model number 1502054 is not Bar-B-Kettle 1502055.
Does it have a lid thermometer?
Not in the bullet points. Special features say Compact. Do not take a thermometer or One-Touch cleaning from a different Weber page.
Is assembly required?
The listing says assembly is required. It does not say the barbecue is tool-free.
Our view
The Original Kettle Premium 57 cm provides a stated 2,342 cm² grate for six to eight people, with a lid thermometer, One-Touch cleaning and a removable ash catcher. Its hinged cooking grate makes adding or rearranging charcoal less disruptive during a longer covered cook. The stand, wheels, lid hook and tool hooks give it the most complete family-kettle specification among the supported UK listings in this comparison. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 117 reviews, enough to be useful but far behind the portable Go-Anywhere’s review count. At about £239.00 it is a substantial step above the Compact 57 cm, and Weber’s stated 18 kg means it is not a barbecue you will want to carry regularly. Amazon lists 13.6 kg, so use Weber’s model-specific weight when judging whether you can move it.
Pros
- 2,342 cm² area stated for six to eight people
- Lid thermometer and One-Touch ash system
- Hinged cooking grate for access to charcoal
- Supported UK model with a 10-year limited warranty
Cons
- High shelf price at about £239.00
- Weber states a heavy 18 kg
- Amazon and Weber weight figures conflict
Best for: Six to eight people who want a supported UK garden kettle with the fullest set of named cooking and cleaning features
Less suitable: Small budgets, frequent transport, or households that only cook for two to four people

Common questions
Is this a charcoal barbecue?
Yes. The amazon.co.uk fuel line is charcoal, and the format is a kettle on a stand. Weber states 2,342 cm² for six to eight people on model 1502210.
Does it have a lid thermometer?
Yes. The listing names a lid thermometer and One-Touch cleaning into a removable ash catcher. It also names a hinged cooking grate.
Is assembly required?
The listing says assembly is required. It does not say the barbecue arrives ready to light.
Our view
The Original Kettle 47 cm keeps the 1,548 cm², four-to-six-person format but adds a lid thermometer and One-Touch cleaning into a removable ash catcher. That combination gives you more information during a covered cook and a tidier way to clear ash than the Compact 47 cm. The lid hook and tool hooks are useful working details, while the wheels let the approximately 8.9 kg kettle move around a patio. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 65 reviews, which is positive but the shallowest counted review file among the mainstream UK kettles here. At about £111.24, it costs more than twice the Compact 47 cm, so the value rests on whether you will use the thermometer and ash system. The listing’s generic material and 47 cm² area fields are unreliable. Weber’s model-specific area is the better specification.
Pros
- Lid thermometer named
- One-Touch cleaning and removable ash catcher
- 1,548 cm² area for four to six people
- Lid hook, tool hooks and wheels
Cons
- More than twice the Compact 47 cm shelf price
- Only 65 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Some Amazon catalogue specifications conflict
Best for: Four to six people who want the manageable 47 cm size with a thermometer and a proper removable ash catcher
Less suitable: Value-led buyers content with a basic ash catcher, or groups that regularly need a 57 cm cooking area

Common questions
Is this a charcoal barbecue?
Yes. The amazon.co.uk fuel line is charcoal, and the format is a 47 cm kettle on a stand. Weber states 1,548 cm² and about 8.9 kg for model 1502192.
Does it have a lid thermometer?
Yes. The listing names a lid thermometer and One-Touch cleaning into a removable ash catcher, plus a lid hook and tool hooks.
Is assembly required?
The listing says assembly is required. Ignore a catalogue cooking area of 47 square centimetres. The review count is 65.
Our view
This ivory Master-Touch offers a hinged Gourmet BBQ System grate, a Tuck-Away lid holder, a warming rack and a One-Touch cleaning system in a 22-inch kettle. The listing says there is room for 13 burgers, so the format is aimed at a larger garden cook rather than portable use. Its 4.3 average from 566 amazon.co.uk reviews is respectable, but lower than every other rated product in this set. The decisive drawback is that model 14505601 is a US import and the manufacturer warranty will not apply in the UK. At about £348.23 it also cost more on the research date than Weber UK’s current Master-Touch GBS E-5750 listing at £289, although that UK model is not one of these ASINs. A missing thermometer entry and unclear stand detail in this Amazon record further weaken an already expensive purchase.
Pros
- Hinged Gourmet BBQ System cooking grate
- Tuck-Away lid holder and warming rack
- One-Touch cleaning system named
- 566 amazon.co.uk reviews
Cons
- US import with no applicable manufacturer warranty
- Highest shelf price in this set at about £348.23
- Lowest star average in the set at 4.3
- Thermometer and stand details are unclear in this listing
Best for: A buyer specifically seeking this ivory US configuration who understands the warranty and import limitations
Less suitable: UK buyers who want manufacturer support, a current UK Master-Touch, or the strongest value for a large kettle

How we compared
Nine Weber charcoal barbecues on amazon.co.uk were scored from the listing facts in this set on 15 October 2026. Review evidence, format and features, value, and listing clarity with UK warranty support were set at 40, 30, 25 and 10 points and then normalised to 100. There was no lab test. Model-specific Weber specifications override catalogue fields that are plainly inconsistent.

Weber charcoal barbecue buying guide
Start with how many people you cook for, then with whether the barbecue must travel. Diameter, a lid thermometer and UK warranty support decide the rest. The notes below follow that order for these nine listings.
What is a Weber charcoal barbecue?
A Weber charcoal barbecue in this set is a covered charcoal kettle or a small portable. It is not a gas or electric barbecue, and it is not a 230 volt appliance. The nine amazon.co.uk listings split into stand kettles and two portable shapes. A 47 cm kettle is Weber’s four-to-six-person size at 1,548 cm². A 57 cm kettle is the six-to-eight-person size at 2,342 cm². The 37 cm Smokey Joe is a round portable. The Go-Anywhere is rectangular.
Best for
- Four to six people who can judge heat without a lid number
- Six to eight people who want a thermometer, One-Touch cleaning and a hinged grate
- Two to four people who need a charcoal barbecue they can carry
Not ideal for
- Indoor, tent, or enclosed-balcony cooking
- Buyers who treat a US import as a UK manufacturer warranty
- Anyone reading 47 square centimetres as the cooking area
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Reading square centimetres as the grate
Catalogue fields of 47, 57 and 56.66 square centimetres are not the cooking area. Use 1,548 cm² for 47 cm, 2,342 cm² for 57 cm, 948 cm² for Smokey Joe 1121004, and 1,032 cm² for Go-Anywhere 1131004.
- 2
Adding shared review pools
The two Smokey Joe colours share 1,394 reviews. The two Compact listings show 377 and 378 reviews and may be one variation family. Count a shared pool once.
- 3
Treating a Compact as a Bar-B-Kettle
Models 1502054 and 1502061 are not 1502055 and 1502062. A catalogue line that says only “2.”, or a site header of up to 15 years, is not a Compact warranty you can quote. The ivory import is not a UK manufacturer warranty.
What to weigh up
Size and whether you will carry it
HighChoose by the job, then by diameter. If you will carry it, this set offers the 37 cm Smokey Joe and the rectangular Go-Anywhere, both sold for about two to four people. Weber states 948 cm² and 5.48 kg for Smokey Joe 1121004. The UK Go-Anywhere, model 1131004, is 1,032 cm², with folding legs that lock the lid and no assembly on that listing. Weber states 6.78 kg. The amazon.co.uk weight of 5.22 kg conflicts, so use the Weber figure.
Thermometer, ash system and UK warranty
HighA lid thermometer and One-Touch cleaning are named on the Original 47 cm, model 1502192, and on the Original Premium 57 cm, model 1502210. The Compact bullets name an ash catcher and do not name a thermometer or One-Touch. Do not copy those fittings across from the Bar-B-Kettle pages. Models 1502054 and 1502061 are not 1502055 and 1502062. Original pages state 10 years limited, and the owner’s guide applies. A site header of up to 15 years is not the Compact term.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Six to eight with full fittings
You want the 57 cm grate, a lid thermometer, One-Touch cleaning and a hinged grate, and the kettle will stay in the garden. Weber states 18 kg for this model.
Two to four, and it must travel
You need a covered charcoal barbecue you can lift. The UK Go-Anywhere needs no assembly on its listing and has the largest review count in this set. Light it outdoors.
Common questions about Weber charcoal barbecues
Which Weber charcoal barbecue is the top pick in this set?
The top pick for a supported UK garden kettle is the Original Kettle Premium 57 cm, model 1502210, at about £239.00. Weber states a 2,342 cm² grate for six to eight people, and the listing names a lid thermometer, One-Touch cleaning and a hinged grate. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 117 reviews. Weber states 18 kg, so it is a garden kettle, not one you carry. The score uses those listing facts. It is not a lab test.
How much does a Weber charcoal barbecue cost on amazon.co.uk?
On these nine shelves, checked on 15 October 2026, prices run from about £49.49 to about £348.23. The Compact 47 cm is about £49.49. The middle is the Smokey Joe at about £84.99, the imported Go-Anywhere at about £97.43, the Compact 57 cm at about £99.99, the UK Go-Anywhere at about £100.79, and the Original 47 cm at about £111.24. The Original Premium is about £239.00, and the imported Master-Touch is about £348.23. These bands are this set only.
Should I buy a Compact kettle or an Original kettle?
Choose a Compact for grate size at a lower price if you do not need a lid number. The Compact 47 cm is about £49.49 and the Compact 57 cm is about £99.99. Neither names a thermometer or One-Touch cleaning. The Original 47 cm, about £111.24, adds both. The Original Premium 57 cm, about £239.00, also has a hinged grate. Models 1502054 and 1502061 are not Bar-B-Kettle 1502055 and 1502062.
Can I use a charcoal barbecue in a UK smoke control area?
GOV.UK allows outdoor barbecues in smoke control areas. A building chimney is different: it needs authorised fuel or a Defra-exempt appliance. In England the stated penalties are up to £300 for chimney smoke and up to £1,000 for unauthorised fuel. Ask the council which rule applies to your street. Statutory nuisance under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, section 79, depends on amount, frequency, duration and unreasonableness. Everyday cooking smoke is unlikely to qualify.
Can I light a Weber charcoal barbecue indoors, in a tent, or on a balcony?
Do not barbecue indoors or in a tent. NHS guidance, reviewed 16 December 2025, says carbon monoxide has no colour or smell. Use NHS 111, or 999 for breathing trouble, loss of consciousness, or chest pain. An enclosed balcony can act like indoors. A lease can forbid charcoal. No nationwide balcony ban was found in these sources. Shut the damper outdoors when you have finished. No core temperature was retrieved, so none is stated here.
Do the two Smokey Joe colours have separate Amazon reviews?
No. The black and slate Smokey Joe listings both show 4.5 from 1,394 reviews, and that pool is shared. Do not add 1,394 to 1,394. The two Compact kettles are the same kind of problem: the display file shows 4.5 from 377 and 4.5 from 378, and those near-identical totals may be one variation family. Count a shared pool once. The UK Go-Anywhere’s 4.7 from 1,645 reviews is a different listing and is not part of either pool.
Does the ivory Master-Touch include a UK manufacturer warranty?
No. Model 14505601 is a US import, and the manufacturer warranty will not apply. It is the highest price here, at about £348.23, with 4.3 from 566 reviews. Weber UK’s Master-Touch GBS E-5750 was £289.00 on 15 October 2026 and is not one of these ASINs. For lighting these kettles, see the wood wool firelighters. The Consumer Rights Act 2015, section 9, still judges quality against the description.
Our verdict
In this set of nine amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick for a supported UK garden kettle is the Original Kettle Premium 57 cm. Weber states 2,342 cm² for six to eight people, and the listing names a lid thermometer, One-Touch cleaning and a hinged grate, at about £239.00, with 4.5 from 117 reviews. It is heavy, at Weber’s stated 18 kg. The best value is the Compact Kettle 47 cm at about £49.49, with a stated 1,548 cm² grate for four to six people and 4.5 from 377 reviews, if you do not need a thermometer or One-Touch cleaning. Carry cooks should look at the UK Go-Anywhere or a Smokey Joe, not at the 57 cm stand kettles.
