Theres another one like this but 199.99. Whats the difference between 149.99 & 199.99?

Hi, Thanks for your question! The $199.99 models is probably our Master-Touch Kettle, which is the same as the Original Kettle Premium, except it also is about 2" taller, has a warming rack, rubber wheels, a Gourmet BBQ System and 2 charbasket charcoal holders. Thanks!

Is there enough clarence between lid and cooking grate to cook "Beer Can Chickens" if so how many? Also what about a turkey and a large pork ham?

I have no idea why some responses say, "No" to cooking a turkey on this 22" Weber kettle grill. I have been smoking a turkey on mine every Thanksgiving Day since 1983 when my first Air Force commander invited us to his house and introduced us to this method. My family and I were assigned to various AF bases around the world during the following 23 years and neither weather nor size of the bird stopped us from enjoyed a smoked turkey dinner; we still cook our birds using the Weber kettle every year. The warmest Thanksgiving was in Biloxi, MS (64F) and the coldest was Fairbanks, AL (2F). Interestingly, the temperature never seemed to negatively affect smoking those turkeys, even when at near-zero degrees! As for the size of turkey that will fit under the lid of a 22" Weber kettle, that depends on the bird's shape, as well as weight. A 16-lb. turkey fits easily on that grill, but I can fit a heavier bird that has a more-flat shape that one that's rounder. My record: A 22-lb. turkey in 2018 (pre-pandemic) for our growing family (10 at that time); however, I did have to "manage" the bird's shape a bit. Although she was as flat as I could find at that size, I still had to "crush" her ribcage so she'd fit. I simply pressed down hard like I was doing CPR -- crunch/snap and we were good; still room for stuffing her, too! Finally, the cooking time (even in the coldest temps) is much shorter than you might expect (certainly faster than my mother's 6-hour cooks in the oven; maybe that's why they seemed so dry). LOL Most times I find turkeys cook in 3 hours or so on the Weber kettle, but this year's 16-lb. bird was done in just over 2.5 hours (through-and-through, no pink, drumsticks falling off, and internal temp at the FDA recommended 165F. So, cook-and-enjoy your Weber-smoked turkey any time of year, anywhere. Best regards, Colonel Mike

Not the quality of a Weber grill it used to be being made in China/Mexico. I would pass on it and get a good USA high quality grill like Webber made their name on.

How many inches off the ground is the lower triangle shaped wire shelf?

It is 4 inches above the ground. I wouldn't say its a shelf for storage; its more a support between the two legs with wheels and also the leg without a wheel.
