In the USA; did Weber Discontinue Selling this 22" Kettle which has the Lid Hinge? I do not see it listed on the Weber Website.
 

No, here it is above. It is the Weber Master Touch Premium.
So, Weber *CAN* put hinges on their charcoal grills!

Making me proud Michael, you’ve become a real master touch expert!!
 
What is the difference between Mastertouch and Onetouch? This is for sale by me.
 
It looks like the top on the one for sale may be dented. I have a performer with the pop up shelf, but this looked interesting. $135 I thought is too much for a flip.
 
The cool signature feature of those grills is that the lid vent is at top dead center. The perfect location.

Edit: I think MikeLucky has or had one of the maroon ones.

I did not notice that but would think the offset lid vent would help with indirect cooking.
 
This is still for sale and down to $120. Says the hood is not dented. I am thinking this may be better for me than the performer with the pop up metal table as I move the grill out from my garage eve to the back door to use it, and the table is not the greatest thing to pull the grill with. 2 tables may be nice also. Opinions welcome and would $100-120 be a good price? I do wish it had a hinged lid instead of the tuck-away. But tuk in back maybe better than tuck a side.

It has been for sale a month. He has dropped the price from 175 to 120. I offered him $100 - No response. We shall see.
 
I realize this is a 2+ year old thread but, if anyone is interested, I did a little digging and learned Weber still has a few dozen Master-Touch Premium grills sitting in their warehouse. That’s the 2020 / 2021 Premium, with the hinged lid, the sought-after char ring and diffuser plate, and only comes in black.

Although it’s no longer listed on the U.S. Weber site, it is listed on the Canadian Weber site (as well as several European sites with a different model / part # than the U.S. and Canadian one) and, upon inquiry, I was assured it is still for sale for the U.S. market.

The U.S. and Canadian Part # is: 17301001

As some of the the smaller pics won’t show up on my computer (perhaps it’s a site issue?), I’ve also included the UK website.

Owners Manual is here:

I was quoted a U.S. price of $379 minus a 20% discount ($75.80) for a total of $303.20. Add 6% VA sales tax ($18.19) for a grand total of $321.39 + free shipping.

As this was the MasterTouch model I really wanted but was unable to find anywhere when I decided to try my hand at charcoal grilling again after a 15+ year hiatus, I decided to grab a new one from Weber this week. Hoping to receive it next week.
