Absolutely yay.

I don't use mine nearly as often as a 22, but if you want to cook everything on one grill at the same time, you can. Love the real estate it provides.

Yay!! I would go as far as to say that if I had to have ONLY ONE kettle, it would be a 26er. The real estate alone not only allows for more space but it is more forgiving/user friendly IMO compared to the traditional 22. That goes for both the current (2008-today) and the older style ones (1962-99). They are a must have.

This one here is one of the earliest "modern" 26ers. Go get it!! 🏻

I do not have a 26, but all I hear is once you go 26, there's no going back!   I'm eyeing a NIB that's on a local CL for $225.

The 26ers in my stable do tend to get the nod more often than not. My modern 26er is my "daily driver".

Yay on 26ers for sure!
Looking for colored 18's and SJ's.

I bought my first 26 in about 6 years ago and is now out to the deer hunting cabin with another. I also have one at the house I use pretty much throughout the year give or take a day or two. You'll love it and when it comes to the Christmas prime rib there is no way better to slow cook the beast.

I have a performer and 3 other 22"s...I have not touched them since I got my 26"....it is my favorite.

They are $316 at amazon.com.  Expensive compared to the 22 incher.

It is but it comes with SS grates and sweeps if I'm not mistaken.
