Weber Master-Touch 22" Charcoal Grill

Have had this grill for just over a year now. It never lets me down. Creating indirect heat is a snap with the side baskets, easy to keep the charcoal area clean. My only suggestions would be to put more hanging hooks on the kettle and securing the centre food grill as it keeps falling out when cleaning. Other thatn that it is a truly brilliant piece of kit.

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.
