Weber Kettle Club Forums

All Gen2(including Canadian Edition and Euro spec) Master Touch inclusive. My goal is to promote all color(including black) MT kettles in hopes of Weber releasing more colors in near future. In particular, Glen Blue 26" or 22" MT.

Show off your MT and let us know if you would buy Glen Blue or not.

I would take a Glen blue, Ocean blue, wedgewood blue, Crate and Barrel blue or any other shade of blue in a modern 26.

Or a yellow, red, lime, smoke or ivory.
I am not picky.

I would say that chances are very low in getting any color other than black in 26".  But.....

Just few months ago, Weber made one off Glen Blue 26" for Tuffy Stone.  What does that mean?

I am betting if enough interest, Weber has Glen Blue  26" or 22"  ready to go after the latest Ocean Blue MT release.

I have the funds put aside for Glen Blue 26" already.  If you are interested, let your voice be heard.

I will absolutely buy a new Glenn Blue 26" if they make them publicly available. Only thing I'd want to change is the ash bucket. I prefer the old style turn/twist vs the new squeeze handle. It would look even better with a black triangle and black ash bucket. Sign me up.

Good point! I doubt they will go back to older style ash bucket, but they can surely change triangle and ash bucket color easily.

My copper custom master touch and ivory. I use both on the regular. I'd surely like some of the other colors or new to be added to the master touch line up, preferably classic colors like harvest orange meat cut....


In search of Imperial and The Custom.

I have the same preferences as @kneab.  Any of the blue 26" he mentioned I'd happily shell out the cash for.

I would trade my car for a 49er master touch. Granted my car is a 97 geo prizm with 113k lol

Oh My .. if they came out with such a lovely color for the 26" that would be AWESOME.. I'm like many of you as well .. only thing is I'm such a WEBER lover that I might even buy two.

* Someone mentioned a harvest orange / meat cut style ... Heck, give me several .. I want one of those right now today , whoever has one just say ..

Love being in the group, glad to be here 🤠

this one looks amazing to me but I worry over time it will show up marks ect.

a black one can be touched up easer with some high temp paint

Ivory side by side with a gen 1 green master touch.  Swap back and forth between short and tall legs depending on what I'm doing.

I'd say my appreciation for Weber models shifts, but I am currently feeling the MT. Perhaps the most perfectly functional stand alone grill. Classic Weber aesthetic and versatility.
My blue and a red I converted

Perfectly fine! No Problem. How can we not mention Gen1 MT kettles.

Hey Philip,
Go mine a few weeks ago. really like it, but found it hard to get the lid to sit properly with the hinge. When not using the hinge, it sits perfectly, but with hinge i had to push the lid down on the front to close. I did the spring trick too, but made not much difference. Hows does your sit with the hinge?

I read about that Glen Blue 26er on FB. DAAAAMN!!!!

Realistically, we will most likely never see that in a production 26er though I would kill for a 22 MT version. I need to get some pictures together soon. I've been eying the Smoke for some time now.

yes the hinge is very tricky to set up. I got mine to sit well enough for grilling but for low and slow or smoking it is not sealed. As you say you can detach the lid from the hinge and just sit it on top like any other webber grill. However removing the lid is a two handed operation as there is no top handle.

Last week I did low and slow ribs. I used a bungee cord to pull the lid down and it did the trick but I dont think it is a permanent solution.

to be honest with the hinge in use it will be difficult to get a perfect seal as even small changes like the tension on the quick release screw make a difference.

I guess it all comes down to how you use your kettle. for grilling the lid is excellent and makes things very convenient, but if you need a tight seal for smoking it does not work so well. adding a gasket might help. I am still trying things out with mine so the jury is still out

The hinge!
Last summer I also bought the premium as I was stuck between buying a kettle or a smoker and it seemed asthough this baby would cover both given that you get the deflector plate and smoke ring etc as part of it.

Initially I was having the same issue, great for grilling but when smoking getting a decent amount of smoke coming from everywhere!

The trick with swapping the hinge springs around made a big difference (you can find a tutorial on you tube) but also tweaking the position of the nuts which attach to the bowl makes the final adjustment.

It wasn't perfect but having now used it for nearly a year the final tiny leaky bits around the rim have almost sealed themselves with the kind of funky gunk produced by using it for smoking and grilling. Don't get me wrong I keep the inside of the grill clean enough to eat from, I just let the rim stay a little sticky in order to solve the issue.

Hope this helps as I think it's such a great all rounder once its been tweaked!

That is EXACTLY what I wanted to buy from Weber last year! The regular kettle just sits too low for me to use comfortably -- I got a black regular kettle off of Facebook Marketplace just to make sure before pulling the trigger on a Master Touch.

Sounds like you need the taller MT.  Do it!

Here is my current MT collection. I have let go LE Red, Crimson and the Copper will be going. I have added black MT.

3 of them sharing cooking duties along with @ 10 other kettles.

Rest of them waiting to be called out for cooking duties.
