performer

Hi all, first post here and I love this forum. I recently picked up this older performer for free and hadn't quite realised the extent of the rust when I got it. It's rusted through where the lid hanger attaches to the lower part of the bowl and looks like burn through in other parts. I have...

2008, Gen 2 Weber Performer. Kettle is rusted out near the leg pegs, so ash pan is not supported. No grille. Frame/cart and table are good. North of Boston - Wakefield, MA.

I’m new here kinda just by chance, been grilling on charcoal as long as I’ve been grilling. When I got my first house my uncle gave me his old BBQ not sure what it is but I tore it apart refinished it and it’s served me decently well the last 6 years. Having open ports for a rotisserie the air...

Hello and greetings. Thanks for letting me join you all! I found you because I was restoring a 1995 Weber Performer and I had to replace the ash sweep/vent system and my model has the "ash bar" which goes over the middle and I just could not get the H washer on as well as the bracket. Well low...

Asking for $225. Must be picked up. Bought new ($279 +taxes), used maybe 10-15 times. Great condition, have to sell because of HOA rules. Price includes Weber chimney starter ($20 value), remaining half bag of charcoal, the few remaining tumbleweed firestarters and lighter cubes I have, 3/4...

After seeing Robert R's awesome 26" Performer build I've wanted to build something similar - my cart is going to have more storage built into it, because I have too much stuff scattered all over my shed. Enjoy! Sketched it out first I ordered the steel from Speedy Metals - they cut...

New to the site, but not forums. I am excited to join here! I'm a new Weber addict, purchased an Original kettle over the summer. That ignited the fever. After seeing post after post in FB of the Performers, I became envy of them and had to have one, but no way I was paying $450 for one. I...

I know I joined this forum a LONG time ago but can't find the username or login. I bought one of the OLD WSM 18's - the ones with no ash pan and no temp gauge in the top. Around the same time, I got a Weber Genesis gas. Later, I became infatuated with the various pellet grills on the market and...

I have been reading this forum for over two weeks and thanks to all of you for your contributions. :) I am in my first year of retirement and moved to my native town last year. It was step 1 of the big retire. Then I traveled for months and am now settled for a while. Doing all the things I...

Time to get to work. Frame needs some support Need dump pan Probably another lid although I will bang out the original. Super excited! https://www.instagram.com/p/BouaZrpHkG2/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=26wkfkz1xa4o

I've determined the gas assist Performer is the grill I need. However, I'd like to purchase "previously owner" to use at our cottage. It's been a lot of searching and not a lot out there. Which is probably a testament in itself for the Performer. Having said that, there's a CL ad for a...

Hi all, So a couple days ago, I saw extra large frozen shrimp in a local store. I didn't buy them. The next day, my wife is going on about how she couldn't watch a tv show contestant "head" shrimp because she thought it was disgusting. Okay. Later, while looking for something else to throw...

I have a WSM 18.5, and a generic gasser. Been thinking about getting the 18 inch Weber kettle, then decided on the 22 inch premium kettle. So I finally went to buy the grill today, and was shocked that Home Depot had the Performer Premium on sale for $279. It was a little out of my budget I...

First week on the forum, beginner-intermediate level griller (Genesis Gold, Genesis E-310 Special Edition, Performer Platinum x 2, Smokey Mountain). Received GrillGrates yesterday for the kettle and would appreciate any advice. When preparing steak or chicken, I usually use the BBQ system...

I'm in the UK and considering buying a Performer Deluxe. From what I can tell, the 2015 version has a different lid bale that allows the lid to be nearly vertical, rather than the angled set up of previous years. Was there a new model number released for this 2015 version? This may help in...

Weber Master Touch vs performer silver Is the small side table and cart worth the extra $100 or am I good with the 3 legs and use the $100 toward accessories?

Hi all! I bought a never used , used performer. I cleaned it up and am happy with it - the exception is the ignitor. The ignitor won't fire. The gas hisses, but no ignition when I hit he red button. Any ideas? It was left in the elements without a cover - Does it just need to dry? Please help!

Two questions: 1. Are there any lower cost options to the Weber rotisserie for 22.5" kettle grill? Would love to get it, but my performer is at our vacation home and only gets limited use. $150 is too much for the amount I would use it at this location. 2. Are there ANY rotisserie options...

Hi everyone, Just bought a new performer platinum and I want to try some wings on it. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to cook them? I assume you want to cook these really slow and indirect. Should I marinate them in advance? if so any tips? Thanks in advance.

This Performer is for sale in my area. The seller says it's in perfect shape and without rust. I see some rust on the bottom wire shelf, damage on one of the wheels, and the grate looks pretty rough, rusty and bent. Would like some ideas as to what a fair price would be. They are asking $150...
