FAQs
How do I light the charcoal?
Use a chimney starter for best results. Place charcoal in the chimney, light the fire starters underneath, and wait until the coals are ashed over.
What kind of charcoal should I use?
You can use either charcoal briquettes or lump charcoal. Lump charcoal tends to burn hotter and cleaner.
How do I control the temperature?
Adjust the dampers. Opening the dampers increases airflow and heat, while closing them reduces airflow and heat.
How do I clean the grill grates?
Clean the grates with a grill brush while they are still hot after cooking.
What is the warranty?
The Weber Master-Touch has a 10-year warranty against rust through/burn through on bowl and lid.
Can I use accessories with this grill?
Yes, the Weber Master-Touch is compatible with a wide range of GBS accessories, such as pizza stones and woks.
How do I store the grill?
Store the grill in a covered area when not in use and use a grill cover for added protection.
How do I dispose of the ashes?
Allow the ashes to cool completely before disposing of them in a metal container.
Troubleshooting
Grill won't heat up sufficiently.
Ensure the dampers are open and the charcoal is properly lit. Check for any obstructions in the airflow.
Uneven cooking.
Ensure the charcoal is evenly distributed. Rotate food during cooking and consider using indirect heat for larger items.
Difficulty controlling temperature.
Adjust the dampers to regulate airflow. Closing the dampers reduces the heat, while opening them increases it. Practice adjusting the dampers to achieve the desired temperature.
Rust or corrosion.
Clean and maintain your grill regularly. Use a grill cover to protect it from the elements. Contact Weber for warranty claims if necessary.
Ash catcher is difficult to remove.
Make sure the One-Touch cleaning system is properly aligned. Clean any debris that may be causing it to stick.
