New kettle coming?


 
Interesting. They took the performer (not deluxe) with the smaller cart and no ignition and added a temp controller. Probably in response to the Spider Huntsman. I always thought the cart on this one was too small to justify the price tag.

I think the premium version will have the full size cart and maybe an igniter

So no gas assist on the premium performer, which is fine when using a fire starter and a fan to stoke.

Not sure about the solid metal bottom. I would prefer wire or mesh.

Otherwise, I give a solid to Weber. Nice to see them adapt to ever-changing surroundings.
 
I agree about the painted metal flat bottom. I wish Weber would additionally offer a Platinum edition with real 304 stainless in place of the painted steel on that otherwise nice looking cart.
