22 in. Performer Deluxe Charcoal Grill in Black with Built-In Thermometer and Digital Timer

Slate Blue Performer is absolutely stunning. Make a Smoke Performer please

This is a great unit and nice upgrade above the premium kettle. The shelf is sturdy and fantastic for setting up the cook or holding meat to prep. The on board igniter is a game changer and works excellent. The only thing I don’t not like and will change soon is the grill grates “gourmet BBQ system”. I don’t not like the removable center rack. When I lift the rack to clean the center part wants to fall out. Also, there is a Cutout on the back side of frame to hang the grate while you’re cleaning. This is obviously worthless if the grate does not stay in place. I wish Weber would give you the option of a standard grate. All the video reviews I watched online, no body used the bbq system.

First of all, I love Weber kettle grills. I have used an older Weber kettle for almost a decade. They work great and when you cover them up while not in use they can stand the test of time. The swivel lock casters, metal side table, lid holder, built in lid thermometer, and added height are game changing upgrades i didn’t even know i wanted. Premium quality of life upgrades that improve the overall grilling experience. This grill sits higher than my old Weber kettle and my back appreciates it. I was also pleasantly surprised to see the grill came with charcoal baskets. I didn’t realize they would be included. The wheels and casters work very well. The ease of moving the grill around is pretty smooth and very easy. The caster lock can be pushed with my toe. Unfortunately, it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows and I do have a few small gripes with the Weber performer Deluxe. Inside the grill where you attach the lid holder, the bolts extend a little too far into the grill. This makes lifting the grill grate straight out of the grill impossible. You have to tilt the grate and slide it out diagonally. Not a huge deal. I have heard some people grind or file these bolts down to allow clearance for the grate. I will probably do this in the future. This grill came with the gourmet bbq system, which is a small circle in the grill rack that can be changed out with other accessories inserts. At first I was very excited about the GBS but when I went to clean my grill grate with a brush, the GBS portion of the rack popped out of place several times. This has proven to be a nuisance and now I must be more mindful of how much pressure I am using to brush the center of the grate or hold the GBS in place while I clean. I have the GBS sear grate and it works very well. The built in timer works fine, but I have a smart phone, this is a fluff feature that doesn’t really add value for me personally. The tool holder pegs are cool in theory, but most of my tools don’t fit properly. But for most of them I imagine I can tie some paracord to make a loop that will work just fine. The charbin storage container is kind of a nuisance to me. I don’t use it to store charcoal, or really anything. My grill lives outside with a cover on, and I keep my charcoal in the garage away from the elements. Sometimes when I move the grill the charbin storage flops out and bumps my knees. No bid deal, just kind of annoying. I have seen that some people use this bin as a trash can. And that might be a good use for it. I have not used the propane touch n go ignition system. I have a chimney starter that I use and i haven’t gotten around to buying a mini propane bottle to try out this feature. Seems interesting to me but I like the chimney too. I will note that during assembly the push button was very awkward to install and it kind of just covers the back of a battery that you push into the circuit to ignite a spark on the other end of the wire. It’s a very fiddly button that could fall off and get lost easily. Overall, it’s a great grill. A massive upgrade above more basic grills. I was seriously shocked how much I appreciated the little touches Weber made to enhance the grilling experience. Even with my gripes, I still love this grill. John @ IG smoke_n_ember

Very disappointed of the poor design, the way the aluminum ash pan is hooked to the bbq is cheap made.. i had to modify it here and there but in general, i love it...

Amazing grill I used every weekend i have smoke on it using the charcoal baskets including in it. Is super easy to get the charcoal started

Great barbecue pit! A little pricey. Also, a suggestion: how about a container for paper like the charcoal container, only smaller. This would hold newspapers for use with the Weber chimney charcoal starter.

I’ve been a Weber man since 2010 and I will never use anything else!

I love everything about it! no more lighter fluid no chimney and newspapers to get it started. It’s easy to clean it’s easy to cook on. The charcoal ben the table top!! Awesome grill well done Webber

The best of both worlds (gas / charcoal). With the gas assist you can light the cargo with ease. The work table is durable and makes preparing food an easy task

I love my Deluxe. The gas assist is by far the easiest & best part of the model. The stowaway trash/storage bin, the metal table, the hinge for the lid, the caster wheels and the grill grates are awesome. This kettle will handle anything you throw at it. Thought the price might be steep for some, but it's well worth it. Good luck finding any other grill w/ all the same features for the same price, believe me I'm sure you wont, cause the brand namr on its on is A+ & cant be matched.
