Facebook Weber One Touch find

Post by KEZZ »

Moved to NZ a little over a year ago. Managed to find a Weber kettle for $50 about 6 months ago. It was a little bit ragged but thought it should do the job, plus it came with a cover. Got it home and went to clean it, grabbed the handle for the one touch system, twisted and all the blades broke off haha. So I had been using foil as damper and getting ok results but lots of mucking around.

Yesterday by chance I was on Facebook when I saw an unused Weber one touch for sale for $100. Got straight on the phone then shot off to go get it. The only thing missing was the outer packaging as it had gotten wet. Came with hinged top grate and charcoal baskets. I was over the moon. When i got home we were supposed to be going out so quickly put it together and everything was there. Bought some heat beads and some chops and mushies on the way home for that evening.

Find out it's an OE model, must have been made between 1995-2000, sitting around for about 20 years waiting for someone to put it together and enjoy it.

Must say I'm quite happy as it is my first "new" weber after having been the owner 2 well used 2nd hand units.

Chops were great last night and chicken is in brine ready for a cook later this arvo.
