Weber Master-Touch charcoal grill 22-Inch Deep Ocean Blue — hinged GBS grate, porcelain-enameled bowl

The Weber Master-Touch 22-Inch charcoal grill delivers authentic charcoal flavor with a hinged Gourmet BBQ System grate and smart features for easier, more versatile outdoor cooking.

Combining traditional charcoal grilling with modern convenience, the Master-Touch 22-Inch in Deep Ocean Blue is built for backyard cooks who want smoky results without fuss. The grill pairs a deep, porcelain-enameled bowl and lid with a hinged GBS (Gourmet BBQ System) cooking grate, a tuck-away lid holder, taller legs for stability, and char-basket fuel holders to arrange briquettes efficiently. These features make it simple to control heat, add accessories, and keep the workspace tidy while you focus on what you’re cooking.

How does the hinged GBS cooking grate make grilling easier?

The hinged Gourmet BBQ System grate lets you add charcoal or reach food without removing the entire grate, saving time and maintaining temperature. It’s compatible with optional GBS inserts (wok, griddle, pizza stone), expanding the grill’s capabilities beyond burgers and steaks. The hinge design also simplifies two-zone setups for searing and indirect cooking.

• Hinged grate for quick access to charcoal and food
• Compatible with GBS inserts like wok and griddle
• Makes two-zone temperature management straightforward

What practical features help while cooking and cleaning?

Small thoughtful details reduce interruptions and cleanup time: a tuck-away lid holder keeps the lid off the ground, built-in tool hooks store spatula and tongs within reach, and a lid thermometer gives instant temperature feedback. Char-basket fuel holders keep briquettes organized for consistent heat and easier replenishing. The porcelain finish resists rust and simplifies wiping down after use.

• Tuck-away lid holder keeps the lid accessible and clean
• Tool hooks keep utensils handy for efficient workflow
• Integrated lid thermometer monitors cooking temperature
• Char-basket holders allow neat briquette arrangement

How much food can I cook and what accessories work best?

The 22-inch cooking surface handles family meals and parties — it fits up to 13 burgers made with a Weber burger press. GBS inserts transform the grate for specialty cooking: a griddle for breakfast, a wok for stir-fry, or a pizza stone for crisp crusts. You can mix direct searing and indirect roasting on the same surface thanks to the hinge and coal placement options.

• Cooks up to 13 burgers at once with space-saving arrangement
• GBS inserts expand recipes from breakfast to pizza
• Char-basket placement enables direct and indirect zones

What materials and construction support long-term use?

The Master-Touch is built around a durable porcelain-enameled bowl and lid that resist peeling and corrosion while retaining heat. Taller legs provide stability on uneven patios or grass, and the sturdy cooking grate supports accessories and heavier pans. Replacement parts and accessories are widely available, extending the grill’s usable life.

• Porcelain-enameled bowl and lid for rust resistance and heat retention
• Sturdy legs for stable, raised cooking height
• Wide aftermarket and OEM accessory compatibility for longevity

Who is this for: The Weber Master-Touch 22-Inch in Deep Ocean Blue suits backyard grillers who value authentic charcoal flavor but want convenient features and accessory flexibility. It’s a good match for families and hosts who need enough capacity for multiple burgers, cooks who like to experiment with GBS inserts, and anyone who prefers classic kettle grilling with modern touches that simplify setup, fueling, and maintenance.
