Weber Original Kettle Premium 22-Inch Charcoal Grill
High-heat grilling, simple indirect cooks, steak, picanha, and burgers.
These cuts are approximate equivalents — similar in character but with meaningful differences in preparation or exact cut.
Both are hidden, unexpectedly tender and well-marbled cuts — secreto from the pork shoulder blade and flat iron from the beef chuck blade — suited to quick, high-heat cooking.
These are related cuts, but not perfect swaps. Use the table below to judge how close your local option is before buying.
