Nice score! $20 is a steal for that.

Nice score!

I have cracked a couple of generic pizza stones, so I went with the BGE stone and have been very happy with it. I believe it is made from the same ceramic as the egg itself and can withstand some serious heat.

I have both and I use the Performer more. The added features are great and make it more convenient to use. The bottom line is that they both cook the same so you can't go wrong with either.

I think I had mine about a year before I figured it out.

Yep. It looks like the thermometer is missing. Easy to replace. Otherwise that grill looks great! I'd grab it in a second.

I agree with Don. I only use the coal baskets when I am doing an indirect cook. For most high heat cooks I recommend a 2 zone fire with about a chimney full of coals. For steaks I use a 3 zone fire so I can get a good sear on them.

congratulations on the nice score!

sounds like a silver B to me but we really need to see a pic to be sure.

You are correct. I saw one on ebay recently and it was described as a corn and potato holder. I believe it was a Weber product. The packaging looked very old on the ebay item.

Nice score! It looks like a Genesis Silver C from around 1999-2001. I had one for 8 years and it was a great grill.

Same with mine. It will vary unpredictably. When I see the American origin lump I stock up.

Great deal. Congrats!
