New Weber Master Touch Premium

[Jan M.]

As I already mentioned in a different thread I'm not sure people will buy it especially here in Europe.
People tend to switch to gas nowadays and a 399€ ($450)charcoal grill is not the right answer to that trend. (My opinion)

AND it's ugly as hell! :-)

I'll be completely honest it was a bitch to build. The legs seemed a little big for the bowl holes. Little metal shavings came off when inserting them. Also my weber badge/thermometer surround came with gouges in the "chrome". Also the new hinge assembly requires you to adjust the screws and plate so the lid fits properly. Looking forward to getting my cook on tomorrow. Will post some pics then.

Is it already "tomorrow"?

The first thing I would do on receiving this is retrofit a handle on top.

Here you go.
Had to adjust the lid as it was letting air in between the bowl and lid. Burned for hours lol. After readjusting the hinge placement seems to be better. Least I could put out the fire tonight. Seems to run hot had the vents at bottom set to smoke and top vent closed and cruised at 400f. Albeit the new diffuser plate wasn't in. If you Want to see anything specific name it and I'll send pics

What did you pay for this and how did you get it?
Is the ash bin the same?
The hinge mechanism seems bulky and looks like it wants to chew a finger.... is this the case?
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the manual.  I like the new shape of the bottom vents.  Also, the way the diffuser and charcoal ring sets up is different than I envisioned and makes more sense than I anticipated.  Very nice.

Top vent closed and cooked at 400?  That doesn't sound like the lid is seated well maybe?

However you say you could shut the grill down?

A normal Weber kettle should shut down within 20 minutes with all vents closed.
