The Master-Touch 22" is 360 + taxes = ~$410 CAN at the local big orange store (cross shopping yields the same result at other big box retailers) There is a "green" Original kettle Premium for $270 CAN ($330 incl taxes), but don't like that colour at all. The cheap metal bowl is interesting.

I keep two propane tanks, one nice one, which I own and refill at Costco, the other is an exchange tank, that I sometimes refill too. My Genesis has the tank hanger/scale, but I also use an aftermarket needle gauge on the tank itself.

I have the One Touch 22" kettle with the basic aluminum ash catcher plate. I dislike the dust it produces when windy and when cleaning the bowl. Would it be worth the cost to buy the OEM ash catcher kit ? CAD$80 with taxes.

More so this year as it as been very mild. Temps around freezing yesterday in Southern Ontario. Positioned the kettle to be protected from high winds.

All good suggestions, thank you for the replies. Accuracy is not important, just want to make sure the temps are consistent throughout the cook. I guess location is not important.

I'm ready to drill into my original 22" kettle lid. Looking for exact hole location (opposite from vent?) How far from bottom of the lid? Recommended drill size? I would be using the following OEM parts: OEM thermometer bezel, Dimensions: 2 1/2" dia. OEM Weber 7581 thermometer Thank...

wow...i'd roll my eyes at the wife and walk away...but anyways, buy what you think will work for you. Go for the golden child setup. Personally, I'd buy it for the smaller units.

Same here, all vents closed, and if not on the shed, cover is on if outside.

Not sure yet, may try something simple to start.
