Weber 751001 22.5-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, Black Review
I have been a Weber charcoal grill owner and avid user for decades. My old 22.5 inch Weber charcoal grill suffered from bent aluminum vents and a lot of weathering, so I decided to get myself my birthday present early and bought a 22.5 inch Weber charcoal One-Touch Gold yesterday. I looked forward all day to using it to prepare tonight's dinner. I noted that it had the plastic handles like my recently-purchased Weber chimney (which I knew to get hot), but did not appreciate how *very* hot they would get on the grill. The first time I lifted the lid, I learned this and so took a potholder out for the next time I checked my food. But, me being used to the wooden handle of my old grill being manageable, I forgot to use the potholder. The the heat from handle nearly took fingerprints off of my hand and I dropped the lid, denting it on one side and bending the lid vent handle.
After we enjoyed dinner, I went online and registered the purchase at the Weber website. I then called Weber support about the issues with the hot handle.
First positive observation: they must have a great I.T. group and system, because they knew me and my grill after a few quick questions only minutes after I had registered it.
Second positive: the support gentleman acknowledged that they had made this change to the materials some years ago, and could offer no real solution like an asbestos handle (I kid...sort of). So they are sending me a new lid to replace the dented one and some complementary oven mitts to use when handling the grill.
Color me impressed, confirming the observations of others here about Weber support and commitment to quality service. If their engineering department could correct the offending problem, I might become a major stockholder! As it is now, if I can retrain myself to always use the potholder, I hope to use this grill for years to come.

Weber 751001 22.5-Inch One-Touch Gold Charcoal Grill, Black Specifications
Weber's One-Touch Gold kettle grill is a great buy for anyone looking for a classic model with a few convenient extras. The design is sleek. The results are delicious.
As with all Weber grills, this kettle's lid and bowl are constructed of premium porcelain-enameled steel--which means not only does heat radiate evenly, but the grill will survive if it's left out in the rain. The cooking surface (22-1/2 inches in diameter) is big enough to accommodate six large steaks, twice as many burgers, or up to a dozen kebabs, and the grill's classic kettle shape keeps flare-ups to a minimum.
When designing this grill, Weber clearly kept convenience in mind. The grill's nickel-plated grate has two built-in hinged side openings that make adding more charcoal briquettes easy and safe, and, when the lid's not in use, it can hang from the bowl by a handy hook. The grill is durable, too. The porcelain-coated steel bowl and lid are exceptionally strong and designed never to rust, fade, or peel. The grill's aluminum vents and ash catcher won't rust either, and its tripod base, nylon handles, and all-weather wheels--besides being exceptionally sturdy--make the grill remarkably easy to maneuver. Weber's patented One-Touch cleaning system--a clever setup of lever-activated blades--sifts ash out of the kettle and into a cooking-pot-shaped ash catcher. You never have to get your hands dirty--and emptying the kettle takes only a few seconds.
To top it all off, Weber throws in a 31-page owner's guide filled with cooking tips and time-tested recipes for grilling everything from pork chops to bratwurst to Cornish hens.
