Weber 22" Master-Touch Charcoal Grill
Why choose a charcoal grill?
Most of us have grown up using a gas grill. A gas grill is versatile and easy to use. The one thing that can not be replicated by using a gas grill is the flavor that you can get from using a charcoal grill. Remember the first time that you tasted one of your favorite meals coming off a charcoal grill? That is what fuels our passion to become a better Grill Master.
Why choose a Weber Kettle grill?
The Weber Kettle is one of the best selling charcoal grills on the market. They have been making quality charcoal grills for a very long time. The Weber Kettle has some of the best features, quality and value in the market.

Features
The Master Touch series has the same great quality as the rest of the Weber Kettle line, but with a few additions.
Built in Thermometer
The built in thermometer makes using this grill so much easier. It takes the guesswork out of grilling. The thermometer is durable and very easy to read.
Gourmet BBQ System hinged cooking grate
I cant say enough good things about this cooking grate. Of course you have that amazing Weber quality, but what sets this apart is how versatile this cooking grate is.
The hinged cooking grate is perfect to add your favorite smoking woods or to add charcoal. This feature is so important because you no longer need to remove the whole cooking grate.
The center removable grate is perfect for adding more coals during your cooks or when searing. You can purchase a cast iron sear grate that gives you even more control.
One-Touch cleaning system
There is a built in sweeper system that makes cleaning the ash from the inside of the grill so easy.
Removable ash catcher
When you use the one-touch cleaning system, all of the ash from the grill empties into the high capacity ash catcher. This makes cleanup so incredibly easy and without any mess.
The Cooking
Your probably thinking these features look great but how does this grill perform? I started with a base model Weber Kettle 10 years ago. This Master Touch series is in a class of its own. Every aspect of this grill is high quality and it performs just as good as it looks.
Versatility
For this cook I smoked this Prime Tomahawk Ribeye Steak with some pecan wood. I then seared the steak over hot coals. This model comes with charcoal baskets. This allows you to position the fire in the grill. It allows you to cook direct or indirect heat with ease. Not many grills offer this flexibility.
Surf or Turf
Some decisions are too tough to make. With this grill you don’t have to choose. Using that hot sear station I was able to perfectly grill these scallops. The vent system on the Weber Kettle is very precise. It allows you to control your temperatures with ease.
Final Conclusion
I have quite a few grills and the Weber 22” Master-Touch is the best charcoal grill in this price range. I put this grill through a challenging cook and it impressed me every step of the way. If you any questions please feel free to reach out to me.
