I dont know where to start

I want to buy a weber kettle but know what model to get.

I have been on many online shops and I am finding it difficult to see what accessories are included.

what features are important

there is a model called the weber Bar b kettle. is this built the same as the others in the line but just without the one touch system?

@Philipb The Bar B Kettle has 3 vents on the bottom. You are correct, no Onetouch.
Maybe let us know where you're located and a local Fella maybe has one you can buy.
Welcome aboard and Happy grilling.

well I live in Northern Ireland.

most showrooms are closed due to lock down but you can still buy online and get them delivered

Weber Master-Touch GBS E-5755   and Weber Master-Touch Premim GBS E-5755

is the only difference between these two for example the hinge?

the website descriptions dont seem to make comparisons straight forward

I have been looking at youtube all day it seems

I think I am going to treat myself and get the master touch premium.

but before I press buy do people who have used it like the new hinge lid or is the more traditional setup preferable

I don't think we even have that one in the states yet. Can't go wrong with the standard master touch. I'm not a hinge guy tho

We don't have the hinge model. If you get it you can always remove the hinge and plug the holes with bolts. Options . You get the heat deflector too.  Can't go wrong either way I suppose.

You can't go wrong with all the bells and whistles. Again we don't have the hinge, but the ash pot and all that really does add to the functionality.
Welcome, it's gonna be awesome!
Be sure to add pictures, even of cooks, we love that
