Master-Touch 22"

The upgraded 22-inch kettle: hinged grate, lid holder, taller legs.

$310Approx. MSRP

A great step-up charcoal kettle for someone ready to get serious about live-fire grilling and occasional smoking, worth the extra cost over the basic Original Kettle.

Pros

  • Hinged grates make adding charcoal mid-cook easy
  • One-touch cleaning system and lid hook are genuinely convenient
  • Very consistent heat retention for a kettle grill
  • Easy on the wallet ($310)
  • Light enough to move or store

Watch-outs

  • Ash catcher isn't as tidy as advertised
  • Slight wobble from loose leg fittings
  • Center cooking grate section needs occasional readjusting
  • Charcoal means a learning curve vs push-button gas

Known niggles

  • Ash catcher misses ash and lets it pile up inside the bowl instead of collecting cleanly
  • Leg-to-bowl connections can be loose, making the grill wobble when dumping ash
  • Hinged charcoal grate sections can pop out of place during scrubbing
