What sized bird will fit in the little guy?

We're talking the bird, not the country here. :wsm: What size bird will fit in a 14.5" bullet? Thanks.

I'm Jonesing for a copper platinum, but want to know from others how well that copper finish holds up? Does it discolor or chip more easily than traditional black? Thanks in advance.

I saw the cook off between the various categories of hot dogs. Very good! How bout putting up the various category winners against each other for the grand champion?

Chimney over gas start. 'nuff said.

Easily done under $200. This comes from someone who's done it. My recommendation. On fleabay, look for some flavorizer stainless steel bars that are heavier than the original weber ones. They work like a dream. I got the idea from elsewhere on the board. I am jealous, though. My rebuild...

Congrats on the Performer. It's a great grill. My tips: 1. Get a chimney starter 2. Learn to do a two zone fire. Do some direct grilling on it. I'd do something cheap as I learn here. Think chicken thighs or burgers 3. Learn to do indirect cooking. Do something cheap again. Think...

Phil, If that doesn't work for you, take a picture and show us and the Performer owners can help you. BTW, I use my chimney over the propane starter. I cut the propane in 5 minutes and I'm ready to dump ten minutes later.

The side storage of the lid for the Performer is fantastic. It'll get rid of that nasty habit of putting the lid on the table. (Did I mention I'm a Performer owner and a former OTP owner?). I haven't measured the size of the current OTP tables, but they look pretty dinky compared to the...

Peformer. It's my go-to grill, and I have a patio full of them (but don't let my wife hear that).

I'll sound like a heretic on the TVWBB board, but since I got my Performer, I haven't used the WSM. (Please don't let my wife know). I use the touch n go. I'll let it run for about five minutes, turn it off and dump the coals about five or ten minutes later.

I always use my chimney starter on my Performer. The baskets - not so much.

It is a very complex character for a rub...I used it on chicken thighs and didn't brine them, so I put a little salt in the rub. You can taste the notes from the curry and a bit of heat with some chocolate/sweetness at the end. It's definately going in the repeat file.

Did anyone else try this rub? I was surprised how good it was. Recipe below: http://www.foodnetwork.com/rec...en-recipe/index.html

Knowing what I know now (and becoming empty nesters again), if the missus had me thin the herd, the Performer would stay and the WSM would go. I know that's heresy on a WSM message board, but it's the truth.

Terry, I just got rid of a One Touch Platinum (because I have a Performer now). I did not notice any scratches from the lid holder and it uses the same mechanism as the Performer. Count that Platinum as at least a half dozen years old.

Chris, I saw something on America's Test Kitchen that I want to to try. They pierced the chicken skin to allow more fat to render and claimed it had crisper skin. If you try it before I do, let me know how it turns out.

Welcome to Performer-Land. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. I like mine so much that the WSM is jealous of all the attention the Performer gets.

Mark, This table is fantastic. Thank you. My back of the envelope calculations: Q1xx is slightly larger than a Smokey Joe in cooking size Q2xx is about the size of an 18.5 cooker Q3xx is about the size of a 22.5 cook surface.
