Weber 57cm Original Kettle Black

Immerse yourself in the comforting crackle of grilling with charcoal, the irresistible aroma of rich wood smoke, and the unmatched ritual of classic outdoor cooking. Stay true to the modern version of the kettle that started a global backyard revolution – the Weber 57cm Original Kettle. Invented by Weber’s founder George Stephen in 1952, and loved by generations of pitmasters around the world, this iconic barbecue represents the very essence of charcoal cooking.

Engineered to handle everything from high-heat steakhouse searing to Sunday roast dinners with golden, crispy skin under the hood, the 57cm Original Kettle is the ultimate centerpiece for Kiwi social hosts. Constructed with a heavy-gauge steel bowl and lid finished in Weber’s legendary porcelain enamel, it retains intense heat efficiently while providing long-lasting protection against rust and cracking in coastal Auckland conditions.

Equipped with a hinged plated-steel cooking grill for effortless fuel top-ups, a built-in lid thermometer, and a handy One-Touch cleaning system with ash catcher, you’ll be taking total control of your cook, and the cleanup, simply and easily.
