Hi folks, I re-read my previous post above and felt that it sounded a bit critical & possibly abrupt. I hope that isn't the way others interpreted it. As I stated, the mrs is very salt sensitive which kinda makes it hard for me when I make BBQ because I have to make 2 seperate batches because...

Hi there Bryan, And G'day folks from Downunder..... I tried your ROADSIDE chicken marinade & mop tonight and It was good for me but the Mrs claimed it was too salty for her. She is very salt sensitive and will taste salt a mile off and being Japanese,her taste buds are more sensitive than we...

I could well be wrong...but it seems that the high heat could slow down the rusting process. I know that the chimneys get rather discolored due to the high heat with heat rings around them. Mine is not the Weber Chimney but the heatbeads chimneys made here in Australia as we can't get the Weber...

Steve, I was scouting around the Weber Q section and noticed your post and you stated your wife bought you a little baby Q for the camping trip. I just thought I'd pop in and ask you how did it go? did it do the job you wanted of it whilst camping? Do you still use it regularly at home...

I have a Q120 and tend to notice that it's hotter towards the front than the back so if I find that food is cooking a bit too much at the front, i just swap it around with the food at the back for a more constant overall result. Actually I kinda think it's good to have the hotter area at the...

Great job Jim, it seems to fit in quite well but I was just wondering, those little Gas canisters would not last very long using such a big burner ? Or, do you have it hooked up to a seperate gas source? Cheers Davo

I kinda go with Phillip with this one, I think it's just a marketing image thing that they have them in different colours for different countries but at the same time, are charging a premium price. Here in Australia, an OTS is about $199 AUS, a OTG is about $299 AUS and a performer is a...

I guess it's horses for courses Bill, there are some who want the charcoal cooking when they go camping rather than taking a Weber Q, especially those who might do light camping, a go anywhere or Smokey Joe are quite light. I must say, although I own a Q120 (that's the Q100 with the work table...

I find that in most cases, the standard size 22.5inch kettle is enough for cooking for up to 8 people and lets face it, the 22.5 inch has been around almost since the dawn of time and many folks have cooked for many people in that time before the talk of a 26.5. I bought the Performer in March...

Anthony, How long are you running the propane lighter for? It should only be used for about 10 max then turn off and let the coals sort themselves out. The Gas lighter is only there as an alternative to the liquid or firestart cubes so only need to be run for about five to ten minutes otherwise...

Hi Folks, When it's all said & done, the Performer is a Weber Kettle and will do exactly the same as the the Silver & Gold with the same excellence in Grilling,BBQing & Roasting however the beauty of the Performer is the Gas starting facility which is very convenient (although i did have some...

Yeah Phil, I did get to keep the old hose & regulator so when I get a chance, I'll give it a good blow-out and clean-up and keep it for a spare. As for the melting charcoal bins,I always have the coals on the opposite side to where the bin is so the hottest part is on the outer end and not the...

This afternoon I got my Performer repaired by the Weber service guy who came over with a brand new gas starter kit. In just over 10 minutes,we had a great flame, started first time. The original set up had a rubber hose that was connected to the gas regulator but this new one has a braided...

Hi Folks, Well It's Friday afternoon and the Weber Service guy has been & gone and has had to order me a whole new Gas starter system for the Performer. It had him stumped why it wouldn't work, he tried just about everything and we did get it to flame up once but after that....nothing, so he...

I guess it's ok if you use it a lot and it works all the time then yeah, a good clean every 12 months is a good thing but mine is only 7 months old and used only about 8 times (we've just gone through winter) and theres something wrong with it.I'll just put it down to teething problems. hope its...

I'm beginning to suspect that a gas lighting system for a charcoal grill maybe not the best idea around if they're going to need constant cleaning out after just a few cook-ups. Oh well...at least we can go back to basics and use a chimney when all else fails, as long as we got a good supply of...

G'day Phil, Hope your better half enjoyed her Birthday over the weekend.She is definately blessed to have a hubby who cooks for her. With mine, after I realised it was useless to persist with the lighter button, I lit some newspaper and placed it near the tube in the kettle and it still...

Hi there folks, I have problems with my lighter as well on the Performer which I bought only in March this year. It's only used one gas cycling so far and it won't light anymore.I thought it was because the gas had ran out so i bought a new canister of propane and inserted it but nope....still...

hahaha A 'JOINT' could be referred to as SMOKING of a different kind. That 'shrimp on the barbie' thing that was promoted to your Fellow Americans as an Aussie thing to do and was misleading in some way because the majority of average working class Aussies couldn't afford the cost of Shrimps...

Hi Tom, Thanks for sharing that video here, I enjoyed it very much. Here in Australia, we don't have the BBQ culture they have in the USA so we don't get to sample much in the way of good BBQ unless we learn to do it ourselves. The BBQ style from USA isn't widely known here either so a BBQ...
