Big Day! New Performer

[Ben M (KC)]

Well, I finally broke down after months of Craigslist adds falling through and bought a brand new brick red performer. Put it together tonight, burned her in, and did quick spur of the moment cook (gathering whats in the fridge). Very pleased and excited to have a daily meal cooker instead of trying to use my WSM bottom.

All put together:

On the patio heating up:

a couple of the cook after heating up for an hour or so:

thanks for looking! It was a good first cook since I was gonna let her burn in a bit and turned out nicely

I suppose I forgot your plate..here you go, a little sample:

yeah you could say I'm stocked up..that's about half to 3/4 you can see in that pic. Was hoping for a Stubbs sale this year but no luck.

Congrat's! Nothing like the first day with a new Weber. They last so long those days are few and far between.

You will not regret your purchase, I am on the fence about getting another one. If I can offer one piece of advice. When it comes time to replace the original nickle plated cooking grate, I would replace it with the stainless steel hinged one.

thanks everyone for the kind words! I'm very happy with my purchase.
