Like all Weber kettle grills, this is a very good and durable grill.
However, when you consider that the only significant differences between this grill and the same Silver line grill are: 2X the price for the Gold line, an Al ash catcher on the Gold (that should come on the Silver, too), and the trap doors that allow you add more coals on the Gold w/o removing the cooking grate...what Weber charges for the two "improvements" is obscene. These cannot possably add more than $10 to their cost of production...doubling the price on the entire grill is...gouging.
The Gold 18-1/2" costs much more than the Silver 22" model as a result and the 22" is a much better buy as a result.
Think hard before you buy the 18-1/2" Gold vs. the 22" Silver.
Having said that, the Gold series ash catcher is a nice feature.

This grill is the perfect size for a small family and a key reason I bought it is for the ash can that is attached below. I had the larger 22 inch Weber grill but the ash fell on a tray below and it was always a mess to clean up. This system is much simpler. It arrived in perfrect condition and was easy to assemble even thuough the directions were poorly written and illustrated.

I purchased this grill for my husband's birthday, and he loves it.
It cooks much faster than the smaller Weber grill we have. My husband prefers cooking with charcoal--and will not own a gas grill. We have been Weber grill users for 44 years! Nothing better than a Weber!

Ideal for the smaller family or meals. Uses less charcoal. Collection can under the grill does a terrific job and it is easy to dispose of ashes when full. Easy to assembly and is fairly sturdy. Use the charcoal igniter can as lighter fluid is not recommended. Enjoy!

This grill is a great performer. As a single guy who typically grills for one, the 18.5" surface provides enough room that I can cook several meals at once. There's plenty of room to do indirect grilling, and even indirect "beer can chicken" with the coals arranged in a circular fashion around a pie tin. If you're only cooking for one or two people, you don't need anything bigger.
The most innovative feature on this grill? The hinged side flaps on the grilling surface, which you can pull up with tongs to drop in more coals or wood. I use a lot of hickory, and when it comes to adding more smoke, being able to get directly at the coals without disturbing the food is a huge advantage. No more fumbling with insulated gloves trying to lift the whole grate up.
Assembly instructions really could have been better (actually there were no instructions, just one tiny drawing). I couldn't figure out how the ash collector connects to the rest of the components, there were metal tabs on mine which weren't depicted in the diagram, and bending them out of the way didn't help. So I left it off, I just empty the ashes onto the patio and rinse them into the yard. Not a huge inconvenience but it kept me from giving a 5-star review.
If you're the type who buys a $10 imported rust-magnet grill at Wally World each spring only to watch it rot all year long, break that cycle and get a Weber One-Touch.
