Just to update on my plan to purchase a Weber Q; well last Friday I purchased a Weber Performer Deluxe Charcoal Grill which has the electronic ignition charcoal lighter and a nice metal table top. It cost me $550.00 which included a assembled unit and delivery to my apartment this Wednesday at no additional cost. I plan to purchase the Weber Q 1200 or 2200 in the next month or two in which I will place it on the Weber Performer Metal Table when grilling. Also, there is no learning curve on using this new Weber Performer Grill as I have had a Weber Mastertouch Grill, Weber Smoky Joe and Weber OTG's for many, many years. Also, The wife and I really like the taste of meat using the charcoal method of Grilling.
Truthfully, I bought this unit in not having to use the Weber Chimney when feeling my 77 Years and having many GBS Accessories, i.e.; Searing grate, Korean Searing Grate, GBS Grill and Pizza Stone. To make room for this new Weber Grill on my small patio area the WSM 18"Classic" or Weber Mastertouch must go which will be a hard decision.
Another important factor on this recent purchase; My Wifey is in total agreement with this purchase and my future plan to purchase a small Weber Q for "empty Nesters".
Oh, Go 49'ers!!
