Singing the praises of the One-Touch Platinum
« on: February 23, 2017, 01:56:46 AM »
I picked up this green one a little while back and it's become my go to at the house this winter.


I wasn't even really planning to get to it as far as a deep clean til spring but when we got several snowstorms back to back,  the only place around the house that was convenient to go from the kitchen to the grill was on the front walkway.

Similar to my love for Performers because of the functionality of the table attached OTPs are great that way.  But what's more is how light they are send easy to move around.     It's a perfect tailgating grill if you've got a pickup truck.   Anyway I'd just like to throw out there how much I dig mine and if anyone sees them on CL,  don't sleep on them.   They're pretty great.
My wife to be surprised me when I got home from work with this snowman at the helm.

Good to know capt. Tell that snowman to stand back when the chimney gets started.

Is there any model or vintage of kettle that isn't fantastic? [emoji106] I can't think of any [emoji3]

That's a good point of being light and portable but having the table as well. I hadn't thought about that.  Now I need one those too.

I have to agree, I just finished the restore of mine and am looking forward to using it this summer when we go camping.  My only initial thought is I wish it was as tall as my Performer.

In anyone with the OTP is interested in a cheap cover I found this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Weber-Premium-Charcoal-Grill-Cover-Fits-One-Touch-Platinum-Grills-22-5-New-/201531516311?hash=item2eec36e597:g:EcwAAOSwgQ9Vrwli

Cant beat a Weber cover for $14 bucks, I bought one and want to make sure its legit when it gets here and I will probably pick up another for a spare.

Nice topic for a thread, @captjoe06.  I'm currently modding my green 18"OTP to be my dedicated rotisserie station.  I've said it before, these OTP's have a lot of potential for mods.

Oh neat, @jcnaz.  What kind of paint did you use on the ash catcher and is it holding up?

I believe that one was the Rustoleum Hammered in dark grey.
It has held up nicely.
