f you had a choice between the 2 which one would you pick and why ? I got a chance at both and don't know which to get ?
Weber.
Their amazing customer service and build quality has made me loyal.
What has whalen done other than copy an existing design?
Whalen's got a couple of interesting features, but was only mfg. for a year or two, so you'd play hell getting parts, I believe...............check into that before you leap............. :D
is the cooking grate on the weber stainless ?

is the cooking grate on the weber stainless ?
Yes, and thicker than that found on the smaller kettles. The RK cooking grate is pretty heavy.
What's the price difference in the two?
For obvious reasons, I think most people on here would prefer the Weber. OK, I will state the obvious: brand loyalty, availability of replacement parts, brand loyalty again, and more brand loyalty. That having been said, I think most people would snatch up an example of either one, provided it was in good condition and the price was right (sub $400).
whalen is 450.00 weber is 6 00.00 anybody know if the whalen has a stainless cooking grate ? , does anybody know anyone that has a whalen that I could contact ?
