Juicy chickens with crispy skin is the reason you want this. Put a drip pan underneath with some carrots, onions, potatoes, brussels sprouts, whatever, and let the drips flavor them.

Adding a hinge makes opening and closing a Weber Smokey Mountain smoker and Weber kettle grills effortless. It has a clever little latch so when you open the lid it stays open and won't slam on your head when you stick it in there to smell your meat and a pin that you can remove so you can take the lid off completely.

Create a variety of charcoal configurations thanks to the Vortex, a unique stainless steel cone shaped add-on for the grill. It is designed to work in Weber Kettle and kamado cookers and can be used four different ways to create two zones of direct and indirect heat by placing charcoal in or around it.

Transform your kettle grill into a smoker with the Smoke EZ Conversion Kit. It contains a large powder coated 20 gauge steel ring that sits between the lid of your kettle and the bottom. Inside the ring are brackets to hold two standard round Weber grates or you can hang food with the hanger rack.

An easy upgrade to make to a Weber Kettle is replacing the standard grate with a flip side grate. This is a great feature to have for long cooks which may require adding charcoal or wood during the cook. This hinged cooking grate fits the 22 1/2 inch kettle and is made of heavy nickel-plated steel.
