Weber Master Touch 22-Inch Charcoal Grill w/ Gourmet BBQ System Cooking Grate - Deep Ocean Blue - 14516001

Grilling with Weber Kettles, Master Touch makes it easy

I had the same model for 15 years until the leg mounts to the base rusted off and it collapsed. There are few improvements to the old design, with the heat shield at the handle and slightly improve ash removal arrangement being the most notable. That said, I'll bet ours was not the first to have the legs fall off. (Which is surprising given it was under several official Weber covers it's entire existence.). So, while 15 years is pretty good, I think it could be better.

Great unit. Only problem in time is that the bottom part that holds the ash tends to fall off

Does the best of any other charcoal grill I've used

As a first-time kettle grill owner, I did my research and landed on the Weber 22" Master-Touch™ Charcoal Grill in Deep Ocean Blue — and I couldn't be happier with the decision. Weber's reputation in the grilling world is well-earned, and this grill backs it up. Appearance The Deep Ocean Blue finish is stunning. It stands out from the standard black kettle grills you see everywhere and adds a real personality to your backyard setup. It's the kind of grill that draws compliments before you even fire it up. Setup & Ease of Use Assembly is straightforward and well thought out. Everything fits together cleanly, and the instructions are clear enough that you won't be scratching your head for long. For a first-time charcoal griller, that confidence boost right out of the box matters. Temperature Control The damper vent system gives you solid control over airflow and heat management. There's a natural learning curve to dialing in your ideal cooking temperature, but the system is logical — adjust the vents, monitor the heat, and fine-tune from there. After a cook or two, it starts to feel very intuitive. Lid Holder The built-in lid holder on the bowl is a genuinely useful feature, keeping the lid secure and out of your way while you tend to the fire or manage your food. One word of caution though — sliding the lid in and out of the holder can scratch the paint over time. If keeping that beautiful Deep Ocean Blue finish in perfect condition is important to you, handle it with a little extra care. Bottom Line The Weber Master-Touch is a fantastic entry point into charcoal grilling. It's well-built, easy to get started with, and comes from a brand that has been trusted for decades. Minor paint scuffing aside, this grill checks every box. Highly recommended.

i had a old weber kettle grill that i bought at a yard sale 20 years ago used. so i decided it was time to upgrade. wow so much easier to maintain heat for those longer cook times.i guess i could have rebuilt the old one which i have in the past but it was time to upgrade and I'm glade i did. hope to have this grill for at least another 20 years

Solid grill. I have grilled a whole rack on this thing with no issues

An amazing grill, easy to assembly and use. Perfect to spend amazing time with family and friends

Excellent Value! Built to last and superb cooking control.

The ash clean out is a poor design, leaves alot of ash in bowl needs to go hole to hole
