I just got my Performer the other day. My wife decided she really liked the charcoal broiled foods, and wanted me to get another charcoal grill (I had used my old One-Touch for about 15 years, and gave it away before I moved.) I had been just using gas, but no more. I purchased an adaptor hose to allow me to connect a regular 20lb LP tank to the Performer. Worked like a charm. I will make a holder that affixes to the grill cart somehow, and let 'er rip. I just used the coal bins that came with my Performer, and my coals were lit in about 3 minutes, ready to cook in about 15. I didn't think I even needed my chimney, and have left that to my smoker.
