The default answer for most people and has been for seventy years. Two dampers are the whole control system and they are enough.
The same kettle with the three accessories you were going to buy anyway: the GBS grate that takes inserts, char-baskets, and a lid hook.
The same 57cm bowl without the ash sweep, the hinged grate or the thermometer. Cooks identically. The cheapest sensible way in.
The most forgiving way into real barbecue. A water pan sits between fire and food, and water cannot exceed 100°C, so the cooker is physically damped against running away.
Legs fold up and clamp the lid shut, so it travels as one sealed unit. The rectangular grate suits sausages and skewers better than a circle.
Hardwood and starch rather than coal dust and petroleum binders. Long burn, clean smell, low ash for a briquette.
The single most useful thing you can buy for charcoal cooking. A full load lit in twelve to fifteen minutes with no chemical taste.
Two steel baskets that hold the coals in a defined bank instead of letting them sprawl. The cheapest route to a real two zone fire.
A proper kettle shrunk to 37cm, with a domed lid and a working damper. Small, but it cooks like a kettle because it is one.
Three burners, GS4 grilling system and a genuinely usable low end. The default recommendation if you want gas that lasts a decade.
The top of the kettle range, adding a hinged lid on a stand so you never put a hot lid on the floor, plus a warming rack.
Cast iron insert that drops into the removable centre of a GBS grate. Holds heat properly, so cold meat does not kill the surface temperature.
The cheapest way to extend the life of anything left outdoors through a British winter. Fitted, so it does not blow off in February.
A ring that raises the lid and adds a motorised spit to a 57cm kettle. The nearest thing to a foukou if you already own a Weber.
Long, well-balanced stainless tongs and a wide spatula, the two tools you actually reach for. Long handles keep your hands off the fire.
A stainless box of wood chips that sits on the bars of a gas or charcoal grill and turns it into a light smoker.
A hinged stainless basket for vegetables, fish and small pieces that would otherwise fall through the bars. The most-used add-on for most people.
Pillow-shaped hardwood briquettes made with starch rather than petroleum binders, a long clean burn and low ash. Weber's own quantities assume this fuel.
Fist-sized chunks that smoulder for the best part of an hour each, the right format for charcoal cooking. Three or four is all a long cook needs.

Founded in Illinois in 1952, when George Stephen cut a harbour buoy in half and put legs on it. The 57cm kettle is essentially unchanged since, which is why parts for a barbecue bought decades ago are still available. Weber's UK range is the default recommendation across most of this site.
