Weber has been refining charcoal grills for decades. The Master-Touch 22-Inch in Slate Blue takes the classic kettle design and adds a few key upgrades that actually change how you cook. The Gourmet BBQ System grate is the standout feature. It’s hinged, so you can add charcoal mid-cook without lifting the entire cooking surface. And it accepts inserts like a griddle or a wok, turning the grill into a more versatile outdoor station.

The 22-inch diameter gives you 363 square inches of cooking space. That handles a full rack of ribs, a dozen burgers, or a whole chicken with room to spare. The warming rack keeps buns or sides hot without overdoing them. Cleanup is straightforward thanks to the One-Touch cleaning system. A single lever sweeps ash into the removable catcher below. No scraping, no mess.

One limitation to note: this is a charcoal grill. It takes time to light and manage temperature. You won’t get the instant heat of gas. But for those who want smoke flavor and the ritual of tending a fire, the Master-Touch delivers consistent results without unnecessary complexity.
