- I just picked up a Weber Original Kettle Premium Charcoal Grill. Watch me unbox it, assemble it, and make a bonehead move that I should have seen coming. DOH! Watch the entire video before you begin assembly so you don't duplicate my mistake :)

Great video with clear easy to follow instructions. Thanks!!
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching :)
Got a black Friday deal on this grill, didn't read the instructions. Pulled up your video and went with it. The handle thing, well mine is the same now. Never sweat the small stuff in life, just enjoy it. Thanks for the video
Excellent video. The small mistakes you made, helped me prevent making the same mistakes. Seeing what mistakes to avoid, made it even easier to build. Thank you.
On the market for a new grill and was looking at this Weber. I had a feeling the install was going to give me a hard time. Thank you for this video! Can’t wait to get this new grill!
I had the same problem with the leg clips. I eventually got them to pop out the holes but it wasn't easy.
I assembled by the exact same way and dealt with it for years, then I was pulling my grill it’s in my garage and the legs came off (18” kettle “) and when I assembled it the correct way, it made a world of difference in wheeling it. I am now planning on buying a bigger kettle
Thanks so much! I was having issues getting the legs on. Your tip of putting the pins into the legs first did the trick! It saved me a ton of frustration. All 3 of my buttons popped in with no issues.
Awesome! So glad it helped :)
It’s awesome to see you build the grill that has helped me and inspired me to get my very first Weber and also helping me to smoke and grill. Your videos are a huge huge blessing!
Thank you very much for the video! We recently purchased a Weber Grill the same model as yours and wanted to see how to build it. Your "mistakes" were very helpful as I no doubt would have made the same mistakes if I not seen your video. Thanks again for sharing!
Glad you found it helpful :)
This was super helpful as I was having the same problem with the "leg clips". Thanks for the great tip!
I appreciate this video, I also made your “doofus mistake” because I was watching your video and I just want to say it was a quick 2 minute fix for me. Those pop out metal things went in and out much easier than they did for you. Maybe Weber saw your video and fixed that issue. It was definitely worth it for me to fix it because I’ve got about twenty feet to pull it to where I’m going to be grilling. Thanks for this though, it saved me half the time reading the manual. 😅
Thanks Ry. Just got notified my first Weber grill is ready to be picked up. Got the Original 22” Copper Premium Kettle. This video helped. I’m a new subscriber and love your videos on the versatility of the Weber Kettles. I like your style bro. Good simple explanations of the process. Thanks again! 🔥😎👍🏼
Thank you for this video, I'm handy but I'm also busy, I have an old style webber kettle grill minus the thermometer in the hood or the ash catcher. Have had this one in the box for over a year because the instructions sucked I never took the time until today. Thank you because it would still be sitting in the box if I didn't watch this video.
Appreciate the video! Really helped. My only issue is that I didn’t watch the entire video before assembling, I watched as I assembled so I ended up installing the handle in the wrong place like you did 😅
👍
Huge tip. When you put this thing together...Get a drill and some metal screws...and screw the ashe catcher support and the legs to the grill. It will never fall apart on you! If you don't do that...Good luck. Other than that...It's a great grill!
SELF DRILLING SHEET METAL for those who don't want to drill.
This video is SO helpful. I really appreciate your step-by-step instructions, including the doofus move.😂You’ve no doubt already saved me a lot of time when I’m ready to assemble mine, so thank you very much!
I'm glad it helped. I make the doofus moves so you don't have to :)
Hello from Wisconsin, hope all is well. Just got my 26" Kettle, the clips still don't work very well. I got 2 out of 3 to work. Thanks for the video, your experience helped me go from mad to glad.
Keep sharing
Thank you for the tip for installing the legs, made it much easier, that's how the instructions should be!
Yeah I learned my lesson. Glad it helped!
Ry, thanks for the video. We got our Webber grill around the Thanksgiving time frame. I also had issues with the legs and the pin joints, all three legs. After watching your video, I ran outside, ripped the cover off, only to find my handle is aligned properly to the rest of the grill. So, I’m thinking that Weber has an issue with the legs. And like you, I don’t feel that it is any big deal.
It was mostly operator error (me) but I corrected it after a few weeks. Those legs definitely do take a little care in inserting :)
The Instructions and the BILT app are absolutely terrible. But thanks to you my friend I have successfully assembled my Weber Premium Kettle Grill! Thanks so much for the video! 🎉
Awesome video. It helped me a ton, and I learned from your mistakes that I would have probably made. I made my own doofus move, I forgot the wheels and had to fight to get the fasteners back off and on.
Been there, done that :)
Thanks for the video, as it was very helpful since the unit did not come with instructions, but only a guide. Lessons learned from your video; I slide the triangular pieces into the legs first then lowered each leg down into the holes of the kettle that stabilizes the legs (the opposite of your method) . I would caution to make sure that the hook on the holder is facing up and that the grids are facing up as well so when flipped over all is upright.
Thanks again...
Really good points. Thanks!
I have been fighting with the legs fo an hour now, walked off 5 times frustrated ... the system for the legs is def a quality control issue. The clip slides up in the leg is the problem , instead of staying put to protrude out when you push down on the leg. So frustrating. I stopped for now to calm down lol 😂
I was in the same situation , did ya get it!? Lol
I didn't get them in either, They are way too tight, I even third some oil , a bread tie to hold in place, nothing worked.
Thank you so much for this video, our grill didn’t come with directions so ive been looking all over! I’m a 22 year old girl getting yelled at by her dad to find it ! 🤣
Ry, thanks for the video. I figure out why the pins are not coming out through the holes when installing the legs: when you put the pins inside the leg (great idea) make sure they are in the exact same position as they were when you initially attached them to the grill. Mine where not coming out also but I flip them over inside the leg and they all work. I hope I explained myself.
Yeah I ended up redoing the legs some time later so that it was set up properly :)
Thanks for the video! Watched this first then followed the instructions. They still aren't easy to read, but I think webber re-wrote the instructions recently to help avoid some of issues you pointed out.
Thank you
Saved me so much time looking at these directions lol
Just avoid my doofus move and you'll be okay :)
This was the best video I found on assembly for this grill!! Thank you so much!
I enjoy watching your videos, thank you for sharing. Could you please mention during your cooks with the weber kettle at which settings you have your bottom and top vents for each cook. This will be very helpful to a novice.
In most of my more recent videos I’ve begun doing that :)
thank you for this video. I just got done putting one together. but I watched your video first..thanks again. in the past I have done the same mistakes on other assembly. join the club.
We're having the same issue with the legs! Thanks for making this. :-)
Just remember not to make my doofus move and put the legs in the wrong mounts :)
Weber has to improve the design of the legs. There are lots of tricks which should be indicated in their assembly instruction. I had to fight with the legs last night, and frustrated went to sleep. I managed to put the legs in today and finished the whole assembly.
Hahaha. I'm glad I'm not the only who had the legs in the wrong place. In the instructions instead of putting a warning sign at this step they should put words also. I went back and corrected the legs so I could roll it if I need to.
Thank you for sharing this
Haha. Same thing happened to me with the pins. Now i have to go out and check the handle position. I wish i would have seen your video first, i am not very good with those instructions haha
I was able to screw it up WITH the instructions :)
Great Video. I had the same problem with the little pin not wanting to come out of the hole. I used a rubber mallet. I held the wheel so it wouldn’t and tapped until the leg went far enough for the pin to pop out of the hole. I placed a folded face cloth on the leg with no wheel and tapped it the same way. I got all three in. Weber might adjust the directions. I enjoyed your video and it helped me. I would have appreciated actual written directions from Weber ...
Thanks. I'm glad you found it useful. Those pins were a bit difficult.
Great Video. Thx! That's pretty poor initial quality control from Weber. I have one of these to put together, hopefully I don't have these fitment problems.
Most of it was operator error on my part by putting the legs in the wrong spot :)
thank you so much! God bless you sir
Thank you for your help. Awesome video.
Same issue with the legs, none fit in my case, but its not going anywhere, like you said. Still being Weber a known brand, it is in fact a huge bummer for them. Kind of feels like a missing piece in the puzzle.
I actually just fixed the legs one day when I was cleaning it. Wasn't too bad :)
Thank you!
I just bought a Weber kettle and the charcoal grate as oil what do I do with that do I wash it off with soap?
Burn a charcoal fire one time before using the grill. Run it for an hour. That will get rid of all the manufacturing lubricants. :)
Thanks. Should I run it for an hour open or closed for the hour
Lid on vents fully open. You want the lubricants burned off everything.
Thanks!
Just turn the legs left and right while pushing them in. It takes some effort but not that difficult.
Video very helpful. Wish I had looked at it before I started. Mine is black vs copper and the holes on the side of the leg holder were invisible in the afternoon light. I tried to put the ash catcher hold inside of the holes and actually succeeded until I found out that was a bonehead thing to do also! I was able to pull it out and attach the ash catcher holder properly but for the video I would not have seen the holes. Don't do as I did!
Glad it helped. And I went back and corrected MY bonehead mistake and put the legs in the correct holes :)
Thanks
Thank you so much. Your video was very helpful!!!
I had a tough time with the legs. I had to walk away and return at a later time.
Thanks! I just assembled mine with your video...and made the SAME doofus move. Haha!
Yeah I finally corrected it after several months of awkwardly pulling the thing sideways :)
Cooking With Ry Lol. After I watched this I took my legs apart and redid them. You’re right - the instructions aren’t clear at all!
I had the same problem with the clips. Turn out they go in the other way around
Thank you it really helpful.
Thank you
I cannot get the lid on mine right, it's impossible to over tighten because 2 turns and they come off the threads. Less than that and they fall off all the time
I'd call Weber. They've stepped up for others who have quality issues.
$149.00 that's awesome that gold looks beautiful
Wondering if relocating the legs so that the handle is facing forward wouldn't solve the issue you had with the pins not popping through.......
In looking at it, without taking it apart to try, I couldn't see any difference. The holes lined up perfectly, but the pins would shift every time inside the leg. If the clips had some way to resist twisting inside the leg, it would work fine, I believe. I suppose I could have MacGyvered a way to make that happen, but it'll just had to be a conversation piece while I'm cooking : "Hey, look what I did..." :)
Cooking With Ry I think that's the problem!!!!!
Excellent! Enjoy your videos very much. I bought an Oklahoma Joe Highlander in April and have been learning to use it. Thanks for all the info you share.
My pleasure, I'm learning just like you :)
Don't feel bad, when I bought my first Weber Kettle, I did the same thing... Only difference is I took it apart and fixed it right then - I wasn't making a video...
I still look at it and think: 'Uh, it's obvious. Why did you do that?'
I had the same issue with the legs and clips they got all chewed up and stuck in so gave up and sent it back for a refund I will continue using my cheap kettle bbq
Thanks for the video. The instructions were pretty poor and you saved me some valuable time.
Did you ever change the legs?
I did. I think I may have mentioned it in a later video that I corrected my doofus move :)
Sorry, I must have missed it. I watch your videos and they great.
mine does not have any place to clip the ash catcher
There are different models. Some don't have that :)
@@CookingWithRy serious? i think its defective, there are no notches to secure it in
A public service! Many thanks.
Awesome video
I don't even own a grill, what am I doing here??
Your mistake is good for your viewers! 😊
It sure taught me to check more carefully :)
great video. take 5 mins and move your legs so yo can pull it right. very helpful. You might file the hole on the one that is not popping the pin out.
Yeah, I'm probably going to give in and fix it. As for the holes, you're right--I was thinking of just screwing a bolt in to fully secure things.
Wait, how come there was no yelling, cussing, or tool throwing. Or is that just me?
Editing :)
@@CookingWithRy LOL. Good answer! Just wanted to let you know that today Wifey and I assembled our Weber. Everything went fine, thanks to your video. You showed me what pitfalls awaited me. We took our time and double checked ourselves on each step. Thank you so much. I've subbed and really like your videos. Take care!
@@toddbaker7554 Glad that Weber came together for you. Enjoy it!
This this is terribly designed
Thank you so much for this! I figured out the tabs no problems but their manual suuuuuucks.
Also I got three lock nuts for the wheels. Good thing cuz this dumbass forgot the put a leg on first! hahahaha
LOL. Man I've made so many similar mistakes I've lost count :)
I put both legs on without the wheels. Getting the hubs off was a 3 day deal and needed help. Had to buy new hubs at Lowes, TWICE wrong size. I finally called Wayfare tonight and they will send me new hubs. The instructions did not completely identify parts. Fine if you know what you are doing but terrible experience if it is the first time you put one together.
When I assembled mine I messed something different up. Bonehead alert. I remember it would have required to remove the wheels I had just pounded in place. (bad idea) Two years later it runs like a champ. I have the same exact one. Color and everything. Compared to an real old school one I had in the past the removable ash tray on the bottom is so helpful.
Yeah that ash tray looks like it's going to be VERY useful :)
Thanks for the great video. I’m completely not handy, and the instructions that came with it are garbage! I managed to get all the pins to come out of the legs, and get the legs in the right place. (By accident) I would not have been able to put this together without the video. Plus there would have been a lot of cussing 😸
You did the SAME exact thing I did in my video. Haha. Shoulda watched it first. :p
Great minds? LOL.
Yeah, great minds make the same mistake.
Now I don't feel so dumb,because I did the same thing.
Thank you Grill Dad you saved my BBQ! I was really annoyed with Weber's less than detailed instructions but your video was very helpful. Only suggestion I have is maybe having a warning before hand about your "doofus move" cause now my grill has the same "doofus move". But it did make me laugh and it's still very much functional.
Yeah I went back a few weeks later and swapped them into their proper place. It wasn't hard. Even a doofus can manage it :)
Can’t get the wheels to stay on
My OCD is in overdrive
your video was very helpfully but I REALLY wished you clipped out your mistake because I followed EVERYTHING you said.
Yeah, that's why I put the note in the description to watch the entire video before beginning assembly. I'd rather leave the mistake in so others see it and DON'T do it, because it's very easy to do :)
Idk why mine only has one handle
That doesn't sound right. Maybe a different model?
@@CookingWithRy its 22" premium kettle like $180 on price it has the flipping grates and thermostat on lid
Strange. Mine has two. Maybe yours will be a collector's item :)
@@CookingWithRy ha doubt that I'm a little disappointed to be honest
Good job kidd smoke on✌️
Please just get the BILT app
6:35 bruhhhh why wouldn’t you put that in the beginning of the video before we all copied the mistake and had to take it apart and rebuild it ??
Gotta watch to the end :)
I cant believe all these people are having this much trouble putting this together. It's not that hard.
Sometimes you make mistakes. That’s life.
I understand. I wasn't really commenting are your assembly just reviews I have seen elsewhere on assembling the weber kettle. Really like your videos. You convinced me to upgrade to master touch in comparison video.
Dude follow the damn instructions you won’t have any issues.
Dude, mistakes happen.
Backwards! 😂
More like sideways.
don’t assemble the grill how this guy did it… he put the legs on wrong… don’t attach the wheels until after you install the legs to the bottoms of the grill mine locked in place easy… i followed his method and got frustrated until i read the directions the clips go in the legs and then the legs go in and clip in easily
Didn’t I mention that in the video?
I'm sorry Weber but your assembly cartoons are a joke...your grill is great, probably the best for that kind of money, but for the love of the tiny Jesus why make it so difficult? thanks for the video, well done
Yeah the instructions do need some work :)
The worst assembly I have ever seen lol
LOL. Okay. I'll check yours out...
Thank you!
