Anybody have experience with the 26" Weber kettle? I've been kicking the idea of one of these for a while. I have, I think, a larger vortex for my 22 incher and it just seems too big for it. Plus, if I'm cooking for a crowd, I'm not able to get as many wings as I need in one pass on the 22 incher. Just wondering if any of y'all have one or used one. Besides, what could be better than a bigger kettle and having a second one?! TIA

Ace Hardware in Calabash had one on display several years ago. It looked pretty big compared to the 22 incher. Replacement parts (grates, grill racks, etc.) would be much harder to find would be the drawback, in my opinion. 18 and 22 parts and accessories are found everywhere.

The Weber Ranch Kettle is 37 inches. It's a hoss!
