Thanks Bob and Jerry for your input. Great point, counter point. As Bob said the lid for the 26 is a beast and for an old guy it's somewhat difficult to handle. Jerry I noticed on your YouTube vid the hinge worked very well and would make handling the beast much easier. Thanks again to both of...

I feel your pain. I gave up and bought a 26. Weber is missing out on what could be one of the best selling grills made. Bill

Thanks Enrico for taking the time to respond. To answerer your question, I don't need a lid hinge and your correct there is a perfect support, but and there's always a but, I'm just looking for information. Having never owned a 26 I'm sure there is some sort of learning curve I will go through...

Please make sure and take pictures of your cook to share with us. This is going to be a monster cook. What are you cooking on, in, or around? Bill

Thanks for the input Chris. A project like retrofitting the 26 is way out of my league, like Timothy, I can't hit the floor with a hammer either. Bill

Thanks Timothy I'll sent Jason a email. Do you find your 26 top heavy and is it easy to tip? Thanks Bill

I ordered a 26 and now I'm wondering if one of those ss lid Hinges they put on a WSM and a 22" kettle would work well for the 26. Has anyone of you folks with a 26 used this mod and if so what do you think? If you have a 26 have you thought about applying the Hinge? My biggest fear is the Hinge...

Yesterday I went to my local Weber dealer and took a hard look at the Summit Charcoal Grill. I raised the hood, kicked the tires, and made a decision. I ordered a 26.75. I was very happy with my decision and my wife was ecstatic. I don't know if my choices will help you but the fact that I could...

The platted picture should be in Food Magazine. Really great cook Tony, thanks for sharing. Bill

Cajun Bandit makes a great ss ring for the Performer. Excellent fit and superior materials. OneGrill makes a great basket called the Performer, a little pricey but built to last, all ss. Good luck with your choices. Bill

Tri-Tip is a poor mans Prime Rib. Absolutely delicious when cooked and sliced properly, not as tender as Brisket but every bit as flavorful. I personally cook my TT hot and fast, turning often to get a nice char. If you'll search Tri-Tip at the top of the page you'll find some excellent...

Does anyone know of any place in the San Diego CA area that will have the GOALT on display? Who could I contact to find out? Thanks Bill

Thanks for the big LOL Rich ( under the car ). A great Monday morning start. Bill

Amazon's marketing did the same type of marketing when they introduced their "Amazon Echo". The demand was so strong that you had to sign up to get your name on a list, than wait 2 months for the Echo to arrive at your door. Of course the big difference is $199 for the Echo and $1500 for the...

My piggy bank is worried that hammer in my hand spells the end for Piggy. If this new creature from Weber is 26" and a nice size work table with gas start and more, I could be brook by April 7th. Thanks Mr. Lampe for the memories. Those were very good times. Bill

I'm holding out for a 26" Platinum Performer. Do you hear me Weber? Do you feel me Weber? Get with the program and give me what I want. Oh I almost forgot, PLEASSSSSSE. Gotta love life Bill

Hey Tommy, as long as you and your wife are full and happy life is good. Just keep cooking with love brother. Bill

Ace sells a beautiful Red PP. They call it Red but it's kind of a reddish maroon. I like it and you may also, take a look and see what you think. Bill

Like many here I have a few grills/smokers, however, if I could only have one of my beauties it would be hands down the Platinum Performer. You can grill, you can smoke, you can even rotisserie if you have the tools. The table and the gas start has spoiled me something terrible. When it comes to...

Grill Grates have won many steak comps, however not just because they impart nice grill marks. When using GG you reduce the flair ups that comes with high heat and fat on the grill making a steak look and taste wonderful. The best advantage of using GGs is when cooking a steak the juices drip...
