I've been reading this forum for about a year and I decided to take the plunge and get a Performer. I couldn't just settle for the normal colors because I'm odd, so I picked up a Lime Green one from the Crate&Barrel from The Providence Place Mall in nearby Providence RI. What a trip!
I strapped my GPS in the car and it gave me great directions to the mall and I found the store and bought my grill. They told me I had to pick it up at their shipping entrance 4 floors below. Needless to say, I didn't find it for 45 minutes cause it was in a part of the garage that's closed. So I took it out of the box and crammed all the pieces in the back of my Corolla and left the box on the dock. Then my GPS failed me on the way home and I got lost like 5 times...
I got home and put it together in about 45 minutes which is pretty good for me. I wanted to whip up some burgers so I got everything set up when I realized I didn't have a propane tank, lighter fluid or a chimney. This was 7pm on Sunday night. I crumpled newspapers in one charcoal bin and put the other bin on top filled with Kingsford. Worked great except for the sparks. The burgers were very burned as I was cooking in the dark, but still tasted better than my old George Foreman outdoor grill. I put Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauceon, as well as salt, pepper, onion powder, and some Weber Burger Seasoning. They were good for frozen patties!
Well, hopefully with the help of all of you, I can figure out how to use this great grill a bit better. Everyone on here seems so full of knowledge. Well, sorry for the rant.
