I really struggled in selecting the right charcoal grill but Weber was always my first choice, just which one? I have a Weber gas grill that has been my go to for a few years now, but the lack of charcoal and that distinct flavor was always in the back of my mind. I'm no purest but I do understand those that will not cook on anything other than charcoal.I don't know how many stores I went to in order to compare these grills but I looked at the Original Kettle, the Master-Touch, Performer, Performer Premium and Performer Deluxe. I pulled each one out and spent 10 minutes looking at the quality and features of each one. I finally landed with the Master Touch because it has the right amount of features at the right price, and this is a fantastic grill with some very obvious upgrades that are worth the extra money. .The packing of the grill is top notch with quality materials. The cardboard and plastic bags are just better packing then what I expected and the grill was perfect right out of the box. Assembling the grill was a breeze but one of the legs was a little difficult to install. The clip you place in the post opening prior to the leg kept sliding out of the way and would not engage. I had to spread the clip out a little to give it more "holding power" but the leg went right in. The engineers at Weber also have a neat little trick for installing the top handle. The instructions are clear not to over tighten the nut, and they give you a little wrench that slips off the nut when it is just right. It's that type of attention to detail that is important.The quality of the grill is outstanding and the upgrades are noticeable. The handles are all an upgrade in materiel and the top adjustable vent has a plastic handle that makes it easier to change temperature when the grill is smok'n hot. The side handle has two clips for grilling tools, but I'm not sure how much I'll use those. The wheel covers are also a nice touch and when you look at this grill you see quality.The removable aluminum ash catcher may not be very important for grilling, but it sure makes cleaning up a breeze. Who likes scooping out ashes, not me, and moving the lever back and forth a few times pushes the ashes into the detachable ash pot for easy, mess free disposal. This was the first time I ever used an ash catcher, but now that I have I'll not go back.I was on the fence about the Gourmet BBQ system but that in my opinion is the star of this grill and was a must have. The removable center cooking grate is a nice feature in itself for adding charcoal, and my chimney starter almost fits perfectly. Regardless how you load the charcoal this insert makes it easier without having to take off the entire grate. I ordered the sear grate and griddle and used both on the very first test run of the grill. The sear grate leaves beautiful marks on your meat but I saw other reviews complaining about the sear grate sliding off. The grate has 4 posts that lock it in place and it did not move at all on my grill. The sear grates themselves are wider than most and this is a great addition to the collection. I obviously could not use the griddle and sear grate at the same time so I threw the griddle on Weber gas grill and cooked shrimp in some butter sauce. I really like the griddle and can't wait to cook some breakfast. I plan to order the poultry roaster, dutch oven, and maybe the Korean BBQ insert but in my opinion Weber could do a little better job in providing information for this system. There are multiple inserts not shown on their website including the dutch oven, biscuit and waffle maker just to name a few, but overall the Gourmet BBQ is a must have and I'm very happy I got it.The grill also came with the Char-Baskets for indirect cooking. I've not used these yet but appear to be a very nice addition in managing charcoal. It will keep the charcoal separated and you will not have to reach in and constantly separate charcoal. I can't wait to use these.The next step up is the Performer series. The larger cart with locking casters and the side table is a nice addition, and it has some nice grill tool hooks. But in my mind the table was just a little too small and these little extra features did not justify the extra $100. The Performer Premium and Deluxe have larger and nicer tables and other features that really are not needed, and the price jumps $250 and $300. I just could not justify the extra money and I think the Master-Touch is the perfect grill with the right amount of upgrades.I wish I could rate myself because I'd give me 2 stars for ordering an off brand cover. It's nice but not as nice as the Weber covers and I only saved $5.00. I'll wait a few weeks but eventually I'll order the Weber brand cover. Don't be cheap!Anything other than a Weber was just not going to work. Look at all the grills lined up outside at the local hardware store. The material is not as nice and the fit and finish is just not there. You don't see a lot of Weber's sitting outside because they keep the good stuff inside the store. Weber is the go to grill for quality of material and workmanship and I expect this grill to last me for a long time.Hope this helps!I was undecided on the gourmet BBQ system was .

Excellent grill, the design is well thought out. Lots of usable features. Handy lid holder works well, the flip open grates to refill the charcoal are a nice addition (I also use them to add wood chips). The 2 charcoal trays add flexibility and control of indirect heat, depending on what is being grill I'll use 1 or both trays or spread the coals directly on the grate. The vents work great and offer a good amount of control over the heat and it also works well to position the lid so the vents pull the heat and smoke across the food. The built in mechanical temperature gauge functions well and is nice to have.The ash pan design makes it easy to remove the ashes without removing the grates. The finish is holding up well and still looks like new after many uses. Nothing negative to say, it's a quality well designed grill.

This charcoal grill is awesome. It really delivers everything you need in a grill for a great price.The cooking top has a 22 inch diameter. The coal holders will take up around half of the bottom coal holding grill (a little over half of the food grill space). This allows for a great one-sided direct heat for searing and then low-and-slow cooking. It also allows for pure direct heat or a more pure indirect heat setup. It is a very versatile grill. This grill also functions as a great smoker. Since I got the version that has an optional part of the grill surface that can be removed to provide a pan-shaped hole in the middle I can even cook veggies and other stir-frys in this grill. You really cannot beat the amount of food that can be cooked on this grill. The heating rack that is included in the grill I found to be a bit cumbersome and more annoying than useful. I control the heat by offsetting the coals so I can "warm" things directly on the grill surfaace. That is a lot easier than having the heater shelf move all around and creating a mess.The cover-holder on the side is actually very durable and I trust it will last for years.The assembly of the grill was a bit more involved than I thought it would be but the instructions make it straight forward to get through.Included in this grill is:*The grill*The food grill grate (with a center round that can be taken out or kept in)*Bottom coal grill grate*Coal holdersPros:*Great grill space*Includes a lot of good extras*Ash cleaning system is nice and efficientCons:*Included heating rack is just cumbersome and moves too easily (-1/4 a star)Additional Considerations:Grilling is made easy when you have the right tools. Getting the following will make your grilling experience much better*Wax starter cubes (Weber makes these)*Coal chimney to fire up the coals (Weber makes a great one)*spray cleaning fluid for cleaning the grill top (Weber makes this)*Grill cover (The weber one is not good. I recommend a more heavy duty one)*Charcoal*Grilling utensils*Some sort of temporary table that can be used to set stuff on while you are grilling (SUPER useful) I personally use Overall: 4.75/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, 5 starsIf you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

mis dias de asar carne han cambiado con este asador, excelente material, buen precio, se puede limpiar sin problema

日本では未発売のため、USから転送サービスを利用して購入しようかと悩んでいましたがここで売っているのを見つけて購入しました。価格はかなり上乗せされていますが、USからの転送料金と合わせるとトントンな感じです。このグレードの特徴である蓋のホルダー(lid holder)はいちいち蓋をどこかに置きにいかなくても良いのでとても便利なのと、灰受け(ash catcher)も安いグレードの皿ではなく桶のような形式なので灰が散らばらずに後始末が非常に楽です。あと、注意点としては焼き網のバーの間隔が広めなので小さなものだと下に落ちてしまうと思われます。焼き肉をする場合は大き目のものをchoiceする必要があります。私はこのグリルでバックリブ、スペアリブを数回調理しましたが、Tony Roma'sに近い、いや上回る出来でした。これからも活躍することと思います。1点、アメリカ製だなーと思ったのは、焼き網の真ん中の部分の溶接が1か所のみ両端で溶接されておらずに、片側のみ(棒が届いていない)となっていました。実用にはほぼ問題ないのですが、★4つにしています。2022/1/21追記日本でもマスタータッチの取り扱いがされるようになったようで、公式HPでの価格が約5.8万でした。なので、色に拘りがなければこの商品はお買い得と言えるのではないでしょうか。購入から5年経過しての使用感ですが、大きな故障(破損)、腐食などもなく未だにきれいな状態を保てています。(今気付いたのですが、商品説明の仕上げタイプに漆塗りとありますが、、、そんな訳はなくホーロー仕上げの間違いだと思います。)

Se llegó el momento de reemplazar el asador de marca genérica, con el cual tenía mas de 10 años, y me dí el gusto con este Weber, que estaba a precio de promoción, y valió la pena; se percibe de una calidad muy superior a mi viejo asador, el ensamble fue relativamente fácil, y solo eché de menos que no incluyera las cestas para carbón para fuego indirecto, algo que si llegara a necesitar, no dudaré en comprarlas.

Fue un regalo para mi esposo y le encantó, es muy funcional
