OK grill experts, tell me why the round weber grills are just so much better that the older square ones..... I had to buy the round one because I couldn't find a source for the square ones anywhere.

I think it has something to do with even heat distribution.
I use one cause that's what dad always had...
Honestly, if you're cooking anything but 'dogs er burgers for more than 4 people, they aren't really worth a darn. For my bachelor lifestyle, they're justabout perfect. Made a nice rib steak for dinner last night, while it was snowing out. Glad to have a covered porch.
I'm gonna convert the old pressure tank from my well into a "party" BBQ... Still pondering the design.

have an old homebuilt sidedraft smoker, and a round weber. the weber is only good for small stuff--use homemade charcoal in it with mesquite as flavoring--turns out good.

14" of heavy wet snow here in wi today going to grill tonight
A real Weber is the best and likely last charcoal cooker you
will buy. the round shape reflects heat back at the food, it
retains smoke so you can add different wood chips to your
charcoal, the draft controls allow for very precise heat control
and when you are done it will shut down enough to put the
charcoal out rather than waste it.
It is also invented and manufactured even today by a family
owned company in Illinois (I think).
If you get one,RTFM and understand the difference between
"direct" and "indirect" cooking. Try some Beer Can chicken.
We gave my youngest son a new one when he graduated
and returned my 40 year old unit. the ash clean out deal on
the new ones is a real improvement otherwise I didn"t see any
Changes In the new cooker.
About $150 US

I've never had a square one, but my father-in-law had one and I used it a couple of times and the biggest problem I saw was that the it was very touchy-feely when it came to scattering the coals around. The coals were very close to the cooking grill and you had to make sure to spread them out very evenly once they got going. With my Webers, you have a lot of room to work and can load them with a lot more charcoal.
If you're thinking about getting a Weber, they made a huge advancement in the last decade or so with the bottom vents. The newer ones have a single handle that controls all three bottom vents and doubles as an ash scraper. If you've ever used an older Weber with three of those round vents on the bottom, you'll appreciate the upgrade.

I've got the silver onetouch because that's all that was left at the store. The ones with the ash can were sold out for the season (this is at the PX in Germany). A Weber on the local economy is pretty expensive. The one with the ash can and (I believe) a thermostat runs about $400 at the current exchange rate. I figure I can empty a bunch of them little ash plates for that extra 300 bucks :roll:
