You could place your baskets toward the outside and leave them empty and pour the charcoal in between them which will allow you to use the gas starter directly under the coals. This gives you a good workable direct heating area but also affords you some indirect space on the sides over the empty...

Aaron, yeah I would start the shoulder a bit earlier to give you some time margin. Just wondering, will you be doing both the shoulder and the chuck on the top grate or the shoulder on the bottom? Will you be using water in the pan? Just wondering because I'm kinda learning myself. I've...

We don't get the copper ones down under either nowadays, they all seem to be black which is boring. In fact, I don't think I've seen any other color kettle in the Weber stores other than black now but years ago, you used to be able to get all different colours. My last OTS was a 2 toned bronze...

Wow..that's niiiice....exactly the same color as my 2006/7 Performer. It blends in well with the trees in the backyard. Cheers Davo

About nearly 20 years ago,I was living in an rooftop apartment with a open courtyard attached in a busy Sydney suburb and became friends with all the other occupants of the other apartments that adjoined ours, 6 in total and we had a further courtyard between all of us so there were plenty of...

George, sorry to hear that but I was thinking of your predicament and this might sound a bit silly but perhaps someone could cut down the legs a bit so it won't sit up so high...would you think this would make the kettle too unstable? you might only need an inch or two off the ends and new holes...

Likewise, my Performer is now around 3 years old and have never had any problem with air leaks around the gas tube inside the kettle. I can make the kettle sit on 220F for hours and hours without a problem and the fire goes out ok and leaves me some good left over charcoal to use for the next...

I could be wrong but I've always thought all kettles are black but some are enameled different colors over top.If that's the case, it probably wouldn't be too hard to get a car spray painter to give a bare kettle a couple of good coatings of high heat red engine enamel would it or just buy the...

I'm with George on this one....lots of grilled veggies such as Butternut pumpkin(squash) and other squashes....corn on the cob, Potato (sparingly) zucchini, eggplant, onions, bell peppers, broccoli, bok choy or pak choy, carrots, mushrooms man the list is endless to what you can grill with...

I bought my Performer about 3 yrs ago now and the kettle is what they call a SAGE GREEN which is a bit like the green colour inside an avacado Not a great picture but it'll give you an idea of the colour. I think it blends in well with the Trees. Cheers Davo

I bought a performer after I seen one on the BBQ Pitboys videos on Youtube quite a few yrs back and at the time I had an older OTS which was in great condition and used often and After I got the performer....the poor little OTS was listed on ebay..got $80 for it hehe Anyway, I've found that the...

I'm 3/4's through getting my old job back driving human cattle trucks (buses ) for the Government in Sydney Australia. No Tying down needed Presently driving dump trucks in the Hnter valley (casual/part time) Cheers Davo

Michael, you won't be sorry with your purchase of the cast iron grill for the kettle, I've had mine now for just over a Month now and I'm practically using them all the time now..they are that good. The only thing is that I haven't yet had the change to throw a good steak on it yet but have done...

I have the Q220 with the cream colored lid and I also have found that the paint is easily stained and is hard to clean completly. When I had my little Q120, I often had to give it a quarterly thorough clean up and I used a high pressure cleaner and some of the paint at the back of the lid flaked...

It's best to buy yourself a trivet which looks like a cake rack but thicker. Place a doubled over sheet of foil on the grates leaving at least 1-2 inches all way round the edges from the sides of the grate, with a knife, make a series of slits in the foil between the grillbars so any fats and...

Yes heatbeads is a well known and trusted brand of Briquette charcoal that comes in 4kg, 7kg & 10 kg bags and it the brand that i use in the performer as well as the WSM. Weber Australia had recently contracted to a charcoal making business in Victoria by the name of Kookaburra (aboriginal name...

I LUUUUUV baked potatoes....now I guess all countries do them differently and I s'pose it depends on the Tater but I usually peel my potatoes (we call them SPUDS in Australia) and par boil them for about 20 minutes, pat dry with paper towel and slit the top of each potatoe about 3 times...

I have the Q220 which is size below yours and yes, despite all the brushing and burning, theres always a lot of gunk hanging down under the grates....as long as the top of the grates where your food will be going is clean as possible after a good hot pre-heat and a brushing down before cooking...
