Weber One Touch Premium - Cheap

Postby philnewts » 21 Jul 2012, 17:24

Just seen this, can't work out which model exactly, but as was previously £199 I assume it is 57cm. Also offering £10 voucher for spending over £100.

BARGAIN

Says depth is 48cm :( so I think it is the smaller model

scratch that - don't know, none of the measurements quite square with the specs on the weber site

They have been advertising a complete Weber bbq set on their shopping channel but it's the 47 cm one and admittedly it was a lot more expensive then the one on the link.

If only they were flogging the Sear Grate kit, quite fancy that for a some flare

Have got the sear grate and I'm not a big fan tbh. Stating the obvious but it forces you to have your charcoal in the centre of the grill which makes it a bit of a pain when trying to also cook indirect. Your indirect area is always pretty close to the coals. Would have been better imho if the sear system had been on one side of the grate rather than the centre. Plus side though is that it gives great hatch marks.

I see the limitations, hence why I think it is a bit pricey. If you used the charcoal baskets though it can allow moving the coals etc

That's what I tend to to do if needed but its a bit of pain to take off a hot grate, move hot baskets around then put the grate back on. I do use it now and again but probably less than originally envisaged. A plus point in its favour is that maintenance wise it is easier to look after than full on cast iron grates.

The wok works well as the whole thing gets hot rather than just a bit a the bottom. It comes a bit combersome when you want to serve from it as it is reasonably heavy and does get very hot.
