FAQs
What is the Gourmet BBQ System (GBS)?
The Gourmet BBQ System (GBS) is a feature where the center of the cooking grate can be removed and replaced with various inserts like a griddle, pizza stone, poultry roaster, or wok (sold separately), significantly expanding the cooking possibilities beyond traditional grilling.
How do I start charcoal for this barbecue?
The most common methods are using a charcoal chimney starter or arranging coals in a pyramid shape and lighting them with natural lump charcoal or Weber lighter cubes. Once the coals are mostly covered in grey ash, they are ready to be spread.
Can I use this barbecue for smoking?
Yes, the Master-Touch C5750 is suitable for smoking. The improved bowl venting allows for better temperature control at lower heat levels, and you can set up a two-zone fire for indirect smoking.
How do I clean the One-Touch cleaning system?
After the barbecue has cooled completely, simply move the One-Touch levers up and down. This sweeps the ash through the bottom vents into the removable ash catcher. Empty the catcher regularly.
What is the warranty on this product?
Weber offers a Manufacturer's 10 Year Limited Warranty upon registration of the product.
Is assembly required?
Yes, the Weber Master-Touch C5750 requires self-assembly. All necessary hardware and instructions are typically included.
What are the dimensions of the cooking area?
The total cooking area is 2342 cm².
Troubleshooting
Charcoal is not burning evenly
Ensure coals are properly arranged for your cooking method (e.g., two-zone fire for indirect heat). Check that the bottom vents are open sufficiently to allow airflow. Distribute coals evenly for direct heat cooking.
Difficulty maintaining temperature
Adjust the bottom and top vents to control airflow. Closing vents restricts oxygen, lowering temperature; opening them increases airflow and temperature. Ensure the lid is closed during cooking unless adding fuel.
Ash catcher is difficult to remove
Ensure the One-Touch cleaning system levers are in the 'open' position before attempting to remove the ash catcher. Allow the barbecue to cool completely before removal.
Food sticking to the cooking grate
Preheat the grate thoroughly before adding food. Ensure the grate is clean. Apply a high smoke-point oil to the grate just before cooking, or to the food itself.
Rust spots on the porcelain enamel
Minor surface rust can often be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner. Ensure the unit is dry after cleaning and periodically apply a light coat of cooking oil to the interior surfaces to protect the enamel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Weber Master-Touch C5750 requires self-assembly. Follow the included instruction manual carefully. Tools may be needed for assembly (typically a screwdriver and wrench, not always included).
Compatibility: The primary compatibility feature is the Gourmet BBQ System (GBS). This means the circular grate insert is designed to be removed and replaced with other GBS components like a wok, griddle, sear grate, or pizza stone. These are sold separately.
Care:
- Cleaning the Ash Catcher: Regularly empty the One-Touch cleaning system's ash catcher after each use once it has cooled completely.
- Cleaning the Grates: Use a stiff-bristled barbecue brush to clean the cooking grate after every use. For deeper cleaning of the GBS grate, it can often be removed and scrubbed more vigorously.
- Exterior: Wipe down the porcelain-enamelled lid and bowl with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Storage: Store the barbecue in a dry place, ideally covered, to protect it from the elements when not in use. Ensure all ash is removed before storage.
- Warranty: The product comes with a Manufacturer's 10 Year Limited Warranty upon registration.
