I ordered two of the rebadged Maverick ET-733's last Thursday afternoon and received them yesterday morning. I was concerned that this deal seemed too good to be true, but I'm completely satisfied with my purchase.
I spoke with the management of Elliot's Ace Hardware today. They said that their store is being used as a test market for the Weber Pizza Oven. I also contacted Weber to check on additional test markets around the country, but have not heard back from them at this point. Hopefully, the test...
This grill is a Weber Mastertouch. The weird metal rod is a lid holder. The Mastertouch also has a thermometer mounted in the lid, through the top handle. I would jump on this grill. Offer him $40 and see if he takes it.
Good luck,

Sean,
I have an old Weber sales brochure which includes the Performer in question. The dimensions are 40"H x 50 1/4"L x 28 1/2 W. I hope this helps.
