Just a quick question for the Weber experts on here, what would you recommend for cooking for six people the Weber 46cm or the 56cm? Thanks.
A few points:
1. The volume of a Weber kettle is proportional to the cube of the diameter; in other words dV/dD = KDČ. So an increase from the 47cm model to the 57 cm model needs roughly 50% more charcoal...and a 67 cm model needs twice as much charcoal as a 47 cm model.
2. How greedy are your 6?
3. How often will you be feeding 6? Having a larger than necessary barbi' will be a real pain if you just want to cook a meal for 1 or 2.
Half a dozen 8 oz steaks will easily fit on a 47cm Weber. Anything else you can cook in shifts whilst having a drink.
...firm, hot and slightly pink in the centre.
Much as I like my ladies! Moist and pink in the centre, but with no blood...
