A garden staple, the Weber Original Kettle Premium 22-inch earns its position for simple, reliable charcoal performance and broad accessory support—making it the cost-effective choice for casual outdoor cooks. Compared with the pricier Broil King Keg and Napoleon Rodeo, it delivers core grilling performance at a lower entry cost, and while it lacks the Performer’s built-in conveniences or the Keg’s heavy-duty heat retention, its familiar design and proven airflow control make it ideal for small to medium gardens.

The Napoleon Prestige PRO 500 is a premium gas grill that appeals to garden cooks who want near-instant heat, reliable ignition and multi-function capability (including optional smoker accessories) without the fuel handling of charcoal or pellets. It won’t replicate the deep smoke character of dedicated pellet or kamado smokers, but its lower operational complexity and potentially lower running cost on natural gas make it a compelling companion for mixed-use garden cooking.
