Been waiting patiently for years for a 26” Kettle to become available on FB Marketplace. I just never see them around me, and I can’t bring myself to pay the $500 new. Snagged this one for $180, “Used less than half a dozen times” according to the seller and it looks it too. Charcoal and cooking grate are in good condition, and even came with a nearly brand new chimney starter and charcoal baskets.
Picanha is going on here soon!

Never owned a 22” but bought my 26” brand new from Home Depot for the MSRP of ~$200 8 years ago. I love it. I can’t believe what they go for now though
Nice!! I could never pay that price myself. Love my 22 and the 26”! Smoke on the 26 and grill some snacks on the 22 at the same time lol
I was waiting FOR YEARS for a 26” to pop up locally.
Never happened.
Bit the bullet and paid $480 delivered to my door. Built it, cooked on it and love it.
Can’t even remember questioning myself before clicking place order.
Very nice…. Been thinking about getting a 26 I just might
It’s not the size that matters it’s how you use it
I’m curious how you’ll find the charcoal use. Even on the 22 I feel like I use too much for direct heat cooks just to get things hot enough. I often use my little smokey joe since the coals are so much closer to the food. The 26 is cavernous.
Love mine, room for two racks of spares laying side by side and a slow n sear regular size

Ive been looking for one for years. Found 2 22’s and a wsm for free in the meantime….
Hell yea.
Nice score!! That 26″ is a beast, I have the 22″ myself and sometimes wish I had just a little more room, especially when I’m doing bigger cooks for friends.
Very jealous devil right now..
You’ll love it!
Congrats! I’m patiently waiting to find one too
Nice score! Just curious, what’s up with the black clips on the chimney under your 22in?
