Char Broil licensee has a 26 incher @ 74.99 @ the local Menards. This is a pretty fair kettle w/ enclosed ash catcher. Equivalent Weber's I've seen @ 299 @ Ace.
I picked one of those up last week while Menards had their "11% Off" rebate going on. The plan is to start on the 85 gallon drum that 4Dueces delivered to me a while back :-D.
I have the 22.5" version of this and left it outside. Cooked on it quite often, but it didn't even last 2 years. the bottom rusted completely off. As some said, you get what you pay for.
