Love the description of this SS Gas assist performer on Craigslist.

Used once.....Maybe I should have put this in the Humor thread????

 

[DanHoo]

They left out Electric Start!

 

[Brian_D]

I think maybe they meant that the rotisserie was used once

 

[John_NJ]

I haven’t visited the humor thread, but I was looking at rotisseries on Amazon and saw this, thought I would leave it here.

Pretty sure that's what he meant.

Yah, I had a customer who bought a Genesis from me and we were talking about Performers and he thought the gas assist was used if you didn't want to use charcoal.

A lot of people seem to have that idea. I don’t know how many times I’ve ever said “you just use that to light the charcoal”.

That’s how I got this one! The guy said it didn’t get hot enough, he had no idea it was a charcoal grill. Maybe because of the larger tank? I didn’t say anything, didn’t want him to change his mind!

You done a good thing!
Sounds like he may not have been qualified to cook with charcoal

 

[LeeHarvey]

But it gets dirty when I put charcoal in it!

There is a YouTube review on the performer where a guy cooked a chicken on propane only.
He made the cook sound better than it was.
It was one ugly rubbery looking bird.

 

[Bruce]

You would think someone would show him the error of his ways and he would remove the video.

 

[John_NJ]

Has anyone ever modified a kettle grill to run on propane for actual cooking?

It would be cool if there was a plug in burner tube so you could use the performer for either gas or charcoal.

 

[Bruce]

John, Weber actually made them back in the day. I think back in the 80's. They didn't get good reviews and the shut them down. They are definitely collectable now however.

The add-on burner for the kettle was pretty popular in Australia.
They are fairly ease to find over there, but unfortunately will set
you back about $150 just to get one shipped to CONUS.

I got a little nauseated just reading that.

Rare, expensive, useless?! I'll take it!

I think the strangely overheated Performer I recently rescued was a victim of this misunderstanding. Bowl enamel was destroyed where the propane would hit, and the charbin was turned into a modern art masterpiece.

My dad had one of these in black when they first were released. It was interesting
and not a bad grill to cook on.

 

[DuaneMac]

I’d love to have one!
