$449Approx. MSRP
Great forreal charcoal flavor

A strong choice for someone who wants kettle-grade charcoal cooking with an easier lighting method, as long as they're prepared to maintain or eventually bypass the gas igniter.

Pros

  • Propane-assisted lighting removes the need for lighter fluid most of the time
  • Large one-touch cleaning system and built-in work table are genuinely useful
  • Same reliable kettle-grade cooking performance as the Master-Touch
  • Solid all-rounder for its class

Watch-outs

  • Ignition system reliability isn't guaranteed long-term
  • Uneven initial charcoal lighting is a common complaint
  • Requires occasional cleaning/maintenance of the igniter
  • Tight cooking area (363 sq in) — small batches

Known niggles

  • Gas ignition assist can fail after just a couple months due to broken battery contacts or corrosion
  • Gas ignition often only lights a small portion of the charcoal, leaving cold spots unless combined with a starter cube or lighter fluid
  • Charcoal dust can clog the gas igniter feed over time
