From 2023/2024 Please note that the charcoal baskets are no longer included in this BBQ and have been replaced by charcoal rails.
We often get asked, what the difference between the standard Master-Touch BBQ and the Master-Touch Premium. Well, the most obvious difference at first is the hinged lid but inside the BBQ is included a charcoal ring and diffuser plate - these components make smoking an absolute doddle.
We just bought some vacuum packed supermarket short ribs for the purpose of the video and sprinkled them with a beef rub. We then set up the Master Touch Premium for the barbecue technique of the Minion Method. This is when you load the charcoal grate with charcoal and ignite the circuit with a small amount of lit coals in the middle. This technique is great for long, low and slow cooks - make sure to watch right through the video - these short ribs took just over 5 hours and sustained a very steady temperature of around 110C without intervention. After the cook you can see when we remove the diffuser plate that there was loads of unlit charcoal left, so this cook could have gone on for at least another 3 hours, at least!
This isn't the tastiest cook we have ever done, but this displays the ease of the Weber Master-Touch Premium - get one from WoWBBQ!
