Howdy @Stufat from Czech Republic. You cannot go wrong with the 22 incher (that's 57cm for us). Weber is pretty good at air control and whatever else you need you will find in the wisdom of the guys here and some wallet-draining aftermarket goodies which of course you must have [emoji14]
Which color did you get? Interesting how the available colors vary by region. There's been a rash of ivory purchases lately, coupla threads here on the forums.
I wanted to go for the green, but the Mrs put the dampers on that idea. I went for the slate grey in the end. It seems we have 5 colourways in UK - green, grey, red, black, blue.
Not sure my wallet goes deep enough for all weber branded goods... £59 for a cover [emoji15]
Got my dpd confirmation just now for my delivery tomorrow. Can't wait to learn how to use it

We have explanations for all the names and acronyms for the carriers in Czech Republic. DPD stands for "Doubtful the Package will be Delivered."
Actually they do quite ok here. I think the grey will be very nice.
I chose Ivory because it will disappear on my balcony and not be an eyesore. I understand your wife's aversion to the green. It's a great color but probably wouldn't be received very well if you have it in view of the neighbors. There were more earlier but now we have only blue/grey, black, and grey on the Weber site. But the authorized dealers have Ivory on blowout and they've also got the red collector's edition and another few choices. It feels like it's getting close to a new model year or some new colors. I did buy the cheaper of the two covers, the more expensive one is 62.5 GBP equivalent. We've got it worse than you
I haven't been to a Weber dealer here but it seems like some of their stuff is very good. The chimney comes highly recommended here on the forums so I bought one and it is huge and seems well built. Other things like the spatulas and tongs don't look that great from the pics but I haven't seen them so I really don't know.
I had never heard of the "World of Barbecue" but we have some of his branded accessories here. They were cheap, so I took a chance on two spatulas. They're stainless, huge and full-tang. They're super quality, especially for the price.
We're fortunate to have a decent supply of lump. We don't have the variety of brands that the Americans have but we have a couple of local producers. And we can get big bags of beech and alder and some other woods cheaply enough.
