We originally looked for a Weber kettle, but the big ones were a bit
too dear for our budget (having just bought and furnished a house!) so
we went to Homebase and got one of their large kettles instead.

So far, so good. Lives in the shed most of the time (and is a darn
good store for bird nuts and bulbs that the squirrels would otherwise
eat) and is easy to clean. So far it's not corroded and neither has it
been damaged. Cost about £40 I think, in some sale or other. Has two
wheels and two legs so is very stable and was easy to assemble. Has
been *very* well used!!!!

Might not be big enough for your needs, but... we've managed to cater
for 15 quite easily, including having a veggie area.

(And dead patches on my poor lawn where Le Chef once tried to be
clever and used meths for lighting it. He got thumped for that one...)
