Was looking at This one on Amazon and the price is not bad (149) with free shipping. I already have the silver and getting ash out is a paint so was wondering if the gold version works well.
Is the One Touch Gold worth the extra?

If your Silver was made after 2000, I would just buy the kit from Weber Close-outs on ebay. If it's older than 2000, check the alignment of the holes in the leg sockets, otherwise, you'l have to do some manipulating or Dremeling to make it work like I did. And yes, the gold ashbowl is well worth it.

True, but don't forget to tell them that you already have a Gold or a Performer, or they wont sell to you if you tell them you have a Silver.

True but Webercloseouts is often cheaper with shipping and he doesn't seem to care what you put the gadget on

Ok I am new to this site so what is a Weber closeout? And what parts can you get from them at a good price? Like maybe old performer parts (I hope)?

Weber close outs is a guy (store) on eBay. They sell everything from ash bowls to WSM thermometers to parts for Big Green Egg etc. That's how I got
My ash bowl for my red 22.5 90s One Touch.

Another point about the Gold design:
IF you live in a windy area I think it cuts down on the wind's influence on your cook. The bowl covers the bottom vents a bit and just seems to cut down on the turbulent effect the wind has.
Or, I may be whacked.

This is my question on the gold though, never having used one. Assuming wind is NOT a factor, does that ash pan bowl restrict air "too much" for a wide open throttle cook? It just seems like a big difference over a OTS.

Not in my experience and I have both the Gold and Silver.

Just want to +1 Greg - I've used both and you do get the wind protection but it's still open enough that it doesn't cause any problems getting oxygen to the coals. It's a nice system.
And yes, it's definitely convenient just dumping the ash can out now and again. I use lump which doesn't produce all that much ash and I have to deal with the ashes very infrequently.
