Weber® Master-Touch™ 57cm GBS™ Black Charcoal BBQ

The Weber® Master-Touch™ 57cm GBS™ Black in Weber®'s signature Black begins with the style and functionality of the much loved, much used and much abused Original Kettle Premium and takes it to another level with the addition of a Tuck-Away™ lid holder and Gourmet BBQ System™ grate for even more grilling versatility and ease of use.

The Weber® Master-Touch™ 57cm GBS™ Black is the next stage in Weber's constant development of their kettle barbecues from the starting point of their original 1952 heritage kettle design using all their experience of charcoal grilling gained over the last 60 plus years combined with extensive customer feedback so while the distinctive design may look very familiar features such as the Gourmet BBQ System™ grate, Tuck-Away™ lid holder, stainless steel One-Touch™ Cleaning System, and rust proof removable ash catcher have taken the concept one extra stage further for even more ease of use and grilling versatility

The heart of the Weber® Master-Touch 57cm GBS™ Black is the Gourmet BBQ System™ grate which can be used as a regular cooking grate or by simply lifting out the 30cm middle section and replacing it with one of the five interchangeable accessories; wok, sear grate, griddle, pizza stone or poultry roaster, all of which can be purchased separately, to greatly enhance the versatility of the grilling, roasting or baking options available far beyond what you would expect from a charcoal barbecue.

There is plenty of grilling area remaining around the outer rim for grilling when the Gourmet BBQ System™ Grate accessories are being used as the total cooking grate area is 2552cm², providing plenty of space to allow for direct and indirect grilling, which is more than adequate for a family or friends to enjoy a barbecue in the garden, on a beach or wherever the adventures takes you

The easy to use Tuck-Away™ lid holder gives a handy, always there, easy to access place to put the lid when taken off the kettle as the lid slides neatly into the Tuck-Away™ lid holder which also doubles up as a windshield and heat deflecter when either lighting the coals or moving food around on the grates. No more more looking around for a flat surface and having to leave the lid 4 metres away from the grill.

At the base of the kettle of the Weber® Master-Touch™ 57cm GBS™ Black sits the stainless steel One-Touch™ cleaning system plus the new and improved rust-proof removable ash catcher which are both key features in making the barbecue so simple to clean and maintain when compared to most other charcoal barbecues as well as stopping hot embers and ash blowing onto decking or patios.

Simply slide the One-Touch™ Cleaning system handle from side to side to move the three stainless steel blades within the kettle making ashes to drop into the ash catcher beneath the kettle which then can removed by lifting and sliding to one side to when the ashes and embers have cooled down then simply reverse the procedure to put back.

Below the Ash Catcher of Weber® Master-Touch™ 57cm GBS™ Black there is a useful shelf suspended between the legs for keeping utensils and accessories to hand when grilling as well all weather wheels with kettle covers so the barbecue can be easily moved around to the ideal spot for grilling where ever that may be. Conveniently utensils and accessories can also be kept in easy reach when grilling using the tool holders integrated into the weather proof handles on the side of the bowl of the kettle.

The lid of the Weber® Master-Touch™ 57cm GBS™ Black , which is designed to be kept in place whenever the barbecue is in use to create ideal grilling conditions, has a weather-proof handle with protective heat shield as well as lid mounted thermometer and a rust-proof aluminium vent which regulates the air flow and temperature under the lid for grilling happiness every time

The build quality of the Weber® Master-Touch™ 57cm GBS™ Black is everything we have come to expect from a Weber® Charcoal grill as the lid and bowl are made from high quality American steel with a porcelain enamelled coating, a powder coating which is fired onto the steel at approx 800°C to give a shiny Black coating which is sturdy enough to handle all types of weather conditions allowing the enjoyment of barbecuing all year round

To help ensure the best results are achieved from the Weber® Master-Touch™ 57cm GBS™ Black Weber® produce a huge range of accessories to help both widen and simplify the grilling experience with well designed and simple to use items from basics such as briquettes, utensils, and cleaning brushes all the way to the specially designed wok, griddle, sear grate, poultry roaster and pizza stone accessories to be used in it's Gourmet BBQ System™ Cooking Grate.
