is the Premium grill worth $100 more than the classic in which would you prefer

[Huskee]

Usually the Premium kettles are $50 more, $99 vs $149. I like the premium myself since it has the contained ash bowl instead of just the open dish. No effect really on the cooking aspect, just the cleanliness of your grilling area and ease of ash removal in my opinion.

I bought the regular one....got annoyed by the ash plate. and bought this to fix it:

Way to go, you saved $25 with your DIY solution!!

[RonB]

Original = $99 - has ash tray & regular grate
Premium = $149 - has ash pot & regular grate
Premium 26" = $299 26" with ash pot
Master Touch = $199 with ash pot & Gourmet BBQ System plated steel hinged cooking grate

[Mr. Bones]

have recently seen 26's ~ $299-ish widespread @RonB
might help start a ballpark figure.
Nighty!

The ash-bowl justifies the higher price IMO.

[DWCowles]

I would definitely get the one with the ass bowl. Oops...I meant the ash bowl...sorry. Not really 😂

[RonB]

DWCowles & Troutman - you can't say ass on this forum.

[Steve R.]

How would you describe the flavor profile with that bowl, DWCowles? 😂

[HouseHomey]

DWCowles Troutman if I had a million dollars I'd buy a new butt cuz mine has a crack in it.

[Mudkat]

What a cheeky comment!

[Troutman]

I don't think you can mention crack in this forum either

[HouseHomey]

Wow, you guys are leaving me behind.

If you get the ash bowl you'll need to mark the outside with something to indicate increments of vent the opening. Mark it at sliver, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and all the way hot. Once you load up it up with food and charcoal you can't see the vents.
