Weber One Touch Silver BBQ

Weber One-Touch Platinum Charcoal Barbeque We needed a new Barbeque for a party in a couple of weeks time, so the last few days have been spent carrying out some research into what is available. The first decision was gas or charcoal. I read several barbeque cookbooks and no one really had anything good to say about gas barbeques. Added to this is the hassle and availability of bottled gas in comparison to the ready availability of charcoal. Some ...
...We went for the Weber One Touch Platinum after looking seriously at the Outback models. We really liked the kettledrum design and the integrated ash collection tray. There are lower priced models of the Weber but what is really good about the Platinum version is the integrated holder for the lid. On this model you can just push the lid to the side and it neatly wraps under one of the edges. The frame that holds the kettle also has a high quality ...

Review of Weber One Touch Silver BBQ

It is definitely a barbeque but having used one of these for a couple of years I have found that it does the job but unspectacularly. Let me explain. Construction The Barbeque is sturdy enough. It sits well on any uneven surface due to its tripod system which makes it good for lawns in the back garden. However the ‘third’ leg on mine continually popped out every time I moved it which meant the small silver tray underneath kept falling out and I ...
...worked out what the tray is for – too small for utensils and far too dirty for food as the ash falls from above. Cooking Area. For a family of three this is fine but don’t bother inviting anyone else around as there is not enough room to cook more than three meals at a time. The cooking area itself was very well heated and didn’t suffer from ‘cool’ spots which I think is due to its circular shape. I have to say it was a joy to cook on but I needed ...

Review of Weber One Touch Silver BBQ

The Weber One Touch Silver is pretty much the entry level range of Weber 's BBQ range. I have bought one of these barbecues from www.dawsonsdepartmentstore.co.uk and it came with a free Weber BBQ cover. Weber have called this bbq "One Touch" as inside the bbq are blades which can be turned, using a handle on the outside, to push ash through holes in the base of the bbq into the ash catcher. Thus the One Touch Cleaning system. The difference between ...
...guests if its windy. The Weber One Touch Gold has an enclosed Ash Catcher, ash cannot escape and can be emptied after a couple of barbecues. The quality of the bbq is without doubt the best I have had, they are more expensive than other barbecues but the shiny black porcelain enamel still looks as good as it did when I built it at the start of the summer even though its rained constantly. The bbq I ordered came from www.dawsonsdepartmentstore.co.uk ...

Review of Weber One Touch Silver BBQ

I have one of these BBQ's and it's served us well over the years. I am a firm believer that a successful BBQ experience is 75% down to the 'chef' and 25% on the design/shape/performance of the BBQ. Lets face it, you're only heating food on a grill above hot coals - you get the same result regardless of how much the BBQ cost, what it looks like, who made it etc. If you're a die hard BBQer then I suspect you'll have/need a gas BBQ as they do produce ...
...fun of a BBQ is lighting the fire, waiting for the coals to burn and even experimenting with different woods and coals to get different flavoured smoke into your food. So for me, a coal BBQ wins. This particular BBQ is a nice design, shape and size and has been the benchmark for all BBQ's for years. It is easy to move around due to the wheels and side handles. You can even move it when it's hot if you're careful because the handles don't get hot. ...

Review of Weber One Touch Silver BBQ

...view, i always use the Weber One Touch Silver BBQ! It can be long lasting for at least three or four years, and it is easy to clean and easy to put away for non BBQ seasons! It has a lid with an adjustable vent to control the amount of smoke and heat, and the same thing on the bottom of the BBQ. This can also be useful to use as a heat source on cold summer nights with your friends at a party in stead of a camp fire and it is much more safer than ...

Review of Weber One Touch Silver BBQ

The Weber One touch is quit esimply the Daddy of charcoal BBQs! Ok, so let's start with quality. The Weber is very well made, fits together superbly and is really solid when assembled. There is a certain weight about the parts (except for those that are non coroding aluminium, obviously!) which just gives you a reassuring feeling. A real upside to the Weber though is the availability of spare parts and accessories. My dad has had one for over 10 ...
...key to cooking with the Weber is to remember that it's a kettle BBQ and you are supposed to cook with the lid on - a small central pile of charcoal is normally enough rather than a covering the entire bottom with coals. Using this method you cook the food well, and consistently throughout! Cleaning the charcoal out is pretty easy - there is a little handly that you move from side to side so the ash falls into a collecting try which you can then ...

(I've never used these so can't really comment - but the ideas a good one!) The accesory range is also endless from chopping boards, to utensils, not forgetting spiced woodchips, all weather covers, cleaning aids, lighters, etc...etc....etc.... ...

Review of Weber One Touch Silver BBQ

I've recently upgraded to a Weber One Touch Gold, after trawling the internet for quite some time I stumbled across www.bbqworld.co.uk at www.dawsonsdepartmentstore.co.uk and got the bbq with a Chimney Starter thrown in. The bbq was easy to assemble and with the chimney starter I was barbecuing in twenty minutes from opening the box! The bbq looks good and the build quality is excellent. I expect that I'll have this bbq for quite some time thanks to www.dawsonsdepartmentstore.co.uk. Cheers ...

Review of Weber One Touch Silver BBQ

The arrival of a Weber "One Touch" Gold Barbecue to replace our trusted brick built barbeque proved to be a great day for us. First of all we noted that Weber had had a lot of experience making these things and have produced a well designed, light weight, durable product which should last for many years. You have a choice of two colours - Black or dark green - "Gold" is just a product name. The product is fine as it comes, but a range of accessories ...
...the clip on work table to be a valuable addition. It was quickly found out that use of charcoal brickettes is much, much better than trying to use traditional charcoal. Lighting proved to be easy enough and the guidance provided in the liturature gets you started with confidence. We quickly found that we could forget the days of hit & miss barbeque cooking. The particular shape of the unit ensures oven like cooking with very good end results. The ...
