Falling In Love Again !!!!!,
October 30, 2009
"I have been an owner of numerous gas grills over the years and not one of them matches my new Weber Performer. I have always wanted one of the more expensive custom smoker pits, but decided that the cost was not justifiable for our small family. I wanted a charcoal grill because I wanted better grill flavor that a gas grill cannot provide. My research was extensive and pound-for-pound - dollar-for-dollar, the Performer stood out. Made in USA, great quality construction, easy assembly makes the Weber Performer a great choice. A great feature is the "gas" ignition system that eliminates the need for starter fluid. Just fill up the charcoal rack and ignite the gas and the coals will be ready in about 10 minutes. The movable coal baskets allow for direct and indirect cooking methods. I like leaving the baskets in the middle of the grill and placing the meat along the outer parameter of the pit for indirect cooking. The firs cooking experience was fantastic. I cooked apple-wood bacon wrapped chicken thighs and they were fantastic. My wife said that my smile was as big as the day we bought our first Harley-Davidson (midlife crisis).
Bottom line.....This is an awesome grill at a great price. Make the switch from gas grills to this Weber Performer and you will be glad that you did.
Happy Grilling !!!"

Simply the best grill. Hands down!,
August 25, 2009
"I'm a single guy and find it hard to cook at home rather than doing take-out. That is untill I bought this grill! I now actually look forward to going home for dinner.
I have had this grill for about two months and use it at least three times a week. I have had charcoal and gas grills in the past and this one is the way to go. It cooks fast and the heat is predictable and controllable.
I use this grill for anything from steaks & burgers to fish and veggies. It does it all well. And with the gas assisted start, it does it fast too. Add some wood chips to the charcoal and this grill also makes a great smoker!
Get yourself one now!"

Great bbq,
April 24, 2009
"I am mechanically challenged, but this grill was easy to put together. It is large, and very portable. Cooks and smokes great, and is easy to control the heat. Nice size table top. The charcoal storage is very useful, as when it rains the bag won't get wet. Was surprised that there was a 4 star rating, even though the reviewer loved it and would by again. Overall, very pleased with it."

Best Grille Charcoal Grille Ever!,
April 23, 2009
"I have owned my Weber Performer for 2 yrs now and it's amazing. Plenty of work space, extremely easy to clean and if you use the charcoal pans, it is easy to sear the meat and set it aside to slow cook. I just slow cooked a leg of lamb for Easter and it was easy and tasty. You might spend a little bit more if you buy Weber but it is worth it. All I have ever owned is weber. My last Weber grille I had for 15 yrs and it was still in good condition when I replaced it with this one. I have tried to grille at other peoples house's on other brands and it's just not the same. If you like to bbq the charcoal way, this is the grille for you!"

Best grill I have ever had,
January 19, 2007
"This grill makes cooking easy, and it is very easy to use. It was easy to assemble, and I am completely satisfied with this purchase. I have a gas grill, plus a smoker, but I cannot get enough of this one. If you like grilling you have to get one"

Where have you been?,
July 4, 2006
By Steve
from Deer Park,Texas
"I've been grilling for several years on old hand-me-down grills.
Not that I wasn't looking,I just could not find the grill I wanted.
When I first saw this grill,I knew I had to have it.
I use it several times a month,it's
just so easy.
No more fighting to light the charcoal,or cleaning up the mess.
The storage area is the icing on the cake,everythings close and handy."

What a great grill!,
June 8, 2006
By Suzanne
from San Ramon, CA
"I purchased this grill after my gas grill burned up. There are many extras on this Weber grill that makes it fun and easy to use. The gas used for the flame that lights the charcoal is a small disposable propane canister like you use for camping. The installation of the canister was quick and easy, unlike the large one I had to use for my gas grill. I also like the built in container to store and protect your charcoal. The last hidden surprise was the meat thermometer that you can remove out of the top of the grill to check your temperature. This is a great Weber grill!"
