I've set up the master touch and it's nice bit of kit. It has got a couple of chips on the enamel by the handle and where you secure the legs. I'm guessing that's not a major issue?

I've near enough finished burning it in so ready to go. I might be able to try it out Sunday as long as the weather ...

My early mistake with the snake method was using my chimney to light just a few coals, I now light at least 12 to start, if it is too hot for your low and slow, close that lower vent a little bit more (but never fully closed) and always have that top vent 100% open.

I think you do get the hinged ...

I tried this place a while back. The ribs and pulled pork were delicious. Good selection of craft ales also.

Personally I would not bother with the smokenator (it is currently selling on amazon) I'm more than happy using the snake method on my one touch to do my 5 -6 hour low and slow (I estimate with the right setup using decent fuel I could cook unhindered low and slow for up to 10 hours).

My only ...

As you may have seen from my signature, I have a MasterTouch and I love it, it works brilliantly. I actually ended up with two MasterTouch units after the first one had damage to the lid and legs, but I patched it up and now my dad uses it because Weber just sent out a new unit and told me to ...

Hi and welcome to the forum! Sorry to hear that your first experience with your new BBQ hasn't been great!

Where did you buy it from? Did they send you the One Touch Premium or the Original Premium? From what I can see, the Original Premium is more expensive so if they've sent you that, then you ...

I just built mine over the weekend and have had a few issues too. I found the slot for the legs a bit chipped and the alu shroud is eliptical not round after fitting. Other than that it's a pretty sturdy unit. Think it should last a good few years.

You say they sent premium? Isn't it the 'one ...

Thanks guys. They are saying that the original kettle premium is the same as the one touch premium now with same materials and some improvements (clip on legs, improved wheel covers for example).

To be honest, I gave it a review and the ash system was all rough edges and I've had such a poor ...

Hi, they've just sent me the original kettle premium instead of the one touch!

I'm pretty annoyed now and waiting to hear back. Does anyone recommend me reconsidering my purchase and getting another BBQ model? I'll primarily grill but I am looking to do a bit of smoking also and the one touch looks ...
