Gentlemen, you are too kind, I try and mask my poor bbq skills with lively banter......
So to the topic in hand., I believe there are only 2 main differences between the regular and the premium, the ash catcher as some have mentioned and a lid thermometer, the latter will be utterly useless in every regard, so the Q is are you prepared to pay plenty for an attractively designed Weber biscuit tin?
As for the mastertouch, absolute robbery with violence, I cannot comprehend how they can justify the price, I can only assume it is one of those things where they price it so high to be "reassuringly expensive"
I would go standard kettle because you will buy a smoker later
And should you wish a challenge I managed to keep my magnificent erection in the front room for 6 weeks before Mrs Tiny insisted the 57cm ivory kettle was relegated to the garden....but I did buy in October so I don't give anyone a chance with a spring purchase......
Press the buy button and get cooking!
Cheers
Tiny
