I sent Weber an email a few days ago:
I see on Amazon.com that your will be coming out with a new version of the Master-Touch. Can you tell me if there will be any colors other than black and when the planned release is for these grills? It looks like there are some really nice improvements on this model. Very excited!
Thanks,
Mitch GoldenThis was the response I just received today:
Thank you for your interest in Weber.
The Master-Touch was a premium model available during the 1990's, and it is the highest end charcoal model produced by Weber, in terms of the number of features offered.
The features include:
Primary cooking area of 363 sq. inches
Warming rack area of 80 sq. inches
Total cooking area of 443 sq. inches
Gourmet BBQ System hinged cooking grate
Porcelain enameled bowl & lid
Aluminized steel One-Touch cleaning system
Removable, high-capacity aluminum ash catcher
Rust-resistant aluminum damper
One glass-reinforced nylon handle with tool hooks
Lid handle with heat shield
Spring clip/push pin leg assembly
Durable all-weather 8" rubber molded wheels
Tuck-Away lid holder
Two Char-Basket charcoal fuel holders
Built-in thermometer
We do not have specific information right now about which dealers will carry this item and when it will be released, however, it does appear that Amazon is already taking order for it. It will only be available in black.
Sincerely,
MattMy feelings are a little mixed on this. I was really hoping there would be some different colors so I could add some color to my almost all black collection. On the other hand, if it's black I could pick one of these up and add it into the rotation and my wife probably wouldn't even notice.
I just wonder if they're right on this. I would hate to order the black only to see another color come out shortly afterwards.
