Singing the praises of the One-Touch Platinum

Sorry for the threadjack, but if anyone wants a 22.5 cart, PM me.  Here's what it looks like with an 18.5 WSM.

The member ramsfan post from another thread I found.

One Touch Platinum kettles were made from 2000-2004 then discontinued. Then they were redesigned and reintroduced in 2010. The second generation models stood much taller: A whopping 35" inches tall! Also, the lid tilted back like a gasser. The only Weber charcoal grill with this design (except for the RK). The second generation OTP ran three model years from 2010-2012. These are very rare as they were only produced for three years and very few ever sold.

Here is my Gen2 Lime OTP.

Cooking on one of these is like being on the hot line at the Weber Grill restaurant in Chicago. Front handle, centered vent. Fire in the back, cooler up front. Check the food in an instant. Crack the lid for more air. Even the sounds of the lid being rolled back and forth are similar. For all we know, this was designed as the homeowner version of those stainless bad boys they use. Thanks to @mike.stavlund I have one of my own now, and it has a place on my own hot line.

Nicely expressed!  For anyone who has not seen what 56MPG is talking about yet.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w1apCSBFnY

Here is another video from the Weber restaurant.  I really need to get there soon, and find a seat right in this spot.

And @56MPG , after hearing you talk about the way they cook at the restaurant, I was wishing I had cooked on that OTPlatinum a couple times before I sold it!  Though I would be remiss to even risk a chance at a crack on that porcelain! Also since you already have a new cover for that grill it seems like destiny that it goes to you.  Enjoy!
