Weber Master-Touch 22-Inch Charcoal Grill — Slate Blue, Gourmet BBQ System Ready & Hinged Grate

The Weber Master-Touch 22-Inch charcoal grill in slate blue is a versatile, porcelain-enameled kettle that combines classic charcoal flavor with modern convenience and compatibility for Gourmet BBQ System inserts.

Designed to make charcoal grilling approachable without sacrificing performance, the Master-Touch adds user-friendly features—like a hinged cooking grate, Char-Baskets for controlled fuel placement, and the One-Touch cleaning system—so you spend less time fussing with equipment and more time cooking. The porcelain-enameled lid and bowl hold heat for steady temperatures and resist rust, while the Tuck-Away lid holder and tool hooks keep the workspace tidy. It’s sized to handle family meals and backyard gatherings with space for up to 13 burgers and a warming rack for finishing or toasting.

How does the Master-Touch make charcoal grilling easier?

The grill streamlines traditional charcoal workflows by integrating practical features you normally add on later. A hinged Gourmet BBQ System cooking grate lets you add charcoal or swap in specialized inserts mid-cook without removing the grate, and the Char-Baskets help you set up direct or indirect heat quickly.

• Hinged cooking grate for adding charcoal and swap-in inserts.
• Char-Baskets to arrange briquettes for consistent heat zones.
• One-Touch Cleaning System funnels ash into a removable catcher for fast cleanup.
• Tuck-Away lid holder keeps the lid off the ground and within reach.

What accessories and cooking options can I use with this grill?

The Master-Touch is built around Weber’s Gourmet BBQ System so you can expand your setup with specialized inserts like a griddle, wok, or pizza stone. These accessories transform the kettle from a grill into a multi-function outdoor cooktop for searing, sautéing, or making breakfast and sides outdoors.

• Compatible with Gourmet BBQ System inserts (wok, griddle, pizza stone).
• Hinged grate allows quick insert changes during cooking.
• Warming rack keeps finished food warm or toasts buns without crowding the main grate.
• Tool hooks and a stable cart-style leg set keep utensils accessible.

How does cleanup and maintenance work?

Cleanup is simplified by the One-Touch Cleaning System that sweeps ash into a high-capacity, removable ash catcher—cutting time and fuss after each cook. The porcelain-enameled finish resists cracking, peeling, and rust, reducing the need for frequent repainting or replacements and preserving heat retention over seasons.

• One-Touch lever moves ash into a removable catcher for easy disposal.
• Porcelain-enameled lid and bowl protect against rust and high heat damage.
• Char-Baskets minimize stray briquettes and simplify refueling.
• Removable parts make deep cleaning straightforward when needed.

Can this grill handle family meals and small gatherings?

The 22-inch cooking surface and included warming rack provide enough room to grill for families or a small party, fitting roughly 13 burgers at once. The combination of direct and indirect grilling capability through Char-Basket placement makes it easy to cook multiple items at different temperatures during the same session.

• 22-inch grate fits about 13 standard burgers comfortably.
• Warming rack frees space on the main grate for continuous cooking.
• Char-Baskets enable simple direct or indirect grilling setups.
• Tuck-Away lid holder and tool hooks streamline multi-item cooks.

Who is this for: The Weber Master-Touch 22-Inch in slate blue is ideal for home cooks who love authentic charcoal flavor but want features that simplify setup, cooking, and cleanup. It suits backyard hosts, families, and anyone who plans to expand into specialty grilling with Gourmet BBQ System inserts while keeping reliability, heat retention, and organized workspace front of mind.
