Have any of you experienced rust on your performers metal table? I had 2 of the platinum one touch with the plastic table, in fact, still have one. They would crack and stain so this seemed like an improvement but the rust has now gotten pretty bad and will begin to get much worse from this...

I guess the one touch is not made like it used to be if you either need to disassemble not less than once a year to keep it working bc I never replaced or cleaned any of the systems on multiple old and well used grills. I don’t see a better compartment on the performer. My genesis has a...

Are these one touch cleaning systems problematic on newer gen grills? My 2016 performer reached the point where I couldn’t move the lever despite being thoroughly cleaned and lubed. My 2 platnium one touch grills were 15 years old and the one touch still worked great. I called Weber and they...

Darn, that’s what I was afraid of and why I posted. Blame myself to some extent, should have ‘ own better though I did have the presence of mind to ask. Bob, yes, that second pic is what I have.

Went to Winn Dixie. They have Boston butt on sale for 1.69/lb but also, a more expensive cut, pork loin at 4.99$ on sale for the same 1.69$. I asked for a butcher to confirm they were the same but none were working. The guy in the meat area said they are the same but one has a bone and one...

Only my third brisket and the first one in several years but followed the high heat method on a 11.6lb packer from Walmart that was priced at $40. Lite the Stubbs, about 2/3 chimney and dumped on a large pile of unlit that were stacked on one side of performer and held in a pile by a row of...

Plan to cook a 12 lb packer using high heat at 350 in my kettle. Expect cook to take 2.5 hours in foiled and 2.5 foiled. Understand flat should be raised to 170 internal before foil. Don’t worry about thick point internal temp? Should I cut point off and cook separately to avoid over cooking...

I knew better but did it anyway, lifted the grill by the end of the table while 20lbs of meat was on it. The table is old and more brittle so this was enough to put a small crack on one side of the table. Not a big crack but I can feel it give when I lift up on it to roll the grill, something I...

Have been a member for a long time but have not been around much over the last couple of years. I have smoked many butts over the years but not briskets. I've done two and none in the last 4-5 or more years. When I did, the high heat method was highly touted as the best way to do the brisket...

Thank u all for the feedback. Was just re checking here bc I wasn't getting post notifications. Getting ready to fire up the performer. Was worried about not getting crispy skin w indirect method but seems skin will crisp just fine. Trying indirect. Thx again.

Oddly, despite all the butts I have smoked and a few briskets and countless steaks, I have never prepared wings on the grill or smoker. I wish to do that Sunday and need some tips. Came back to my favorite site but didn't see much on the subject in the cooking recipe area. There was one called...

Sold the blue for 175 so essentially an even trade, although i did pay 100 for blue. Newnowner very excited about his first performer purchase. Nice couple

Not sure I agree with that. I'm not expert but after ten years of grilling on my platinum one touch, I went to the blue and while I like it, I don't love it. I have the two side by side at the moment (sold blue but not picked up yet), and I am thrilled with the new one. In my view, weber took...

Unloaded it and did my first cook last night. Small improvements but really happy. The handle is barely warm vs having to use a mitt and for purposes of lighting the chimney, I like the new lid hinge. The seller did give me two new large wheels that appear to go w the previous generation not...
