Performer Maiden Voyage

[Brian Greenbush]

Finally got a break from the cold temps here in MN, and thought it was the perfect time to do my first cook on our new Performer.

Pretty simple lunch for me and my 10 year old son (the cheeseburger fanatic).

Nice weather:

Using KBB and getting the coals going with the gas assist (really like this feature!):

Burgers seared direct and then finished indirect with the all-important cheese finish:

And here's your plated pic:

My son said they rated a "10 out of 10"!

Thanks for looking, and keep on Q'ing!

Great job on the first run. Mine will be coming in the next day or 2 as well. Ran a bare run to "clean" it out. Love the gas assist feature too!

 

[Bill Schultz]

Good job for your Son Brian, good luck with that sweet grill

 

[RogerS]

Great cook! You will love the Performer Gas Assist. That was my 1st Weber this past summer...about a month later a WSM 22 1/2. Welcome to the addiction.

 

[Tim McCann]

Welcome. Burgers look good.

 

[Tony R]

Well done Brian.

 

[John Wheeler]

I remember my first run on my new performer. Went just about the same way! It's so versatile! Let your love affair begin! Lol. @Roger S, all OSU/Mich hoopla aside... I started off exactly like you did. Performer, then a month or so later came Big Bertha! O-H!

A good burger is hard to beat, unless your doing it on a squeaky new grill.
Soon your going to be wondering why you have an oven.

 

[Mike Isaacson]

Bravo.... Bravo.... She is a beauty Brian.... Oh and by the way I am starting to see alot of Minnesota smoker on here.... You know what that means!

 

[Paul Kastner]

Looks like the performer performed.

 

[Matt in Vancouver]

[Kevin L (NKY)]

Brian great cook and even better quaility time with your boy "Priceless"

 

[Mike Cosgrove]

Theres nothing quite like playing with a new toy.

 

[Rich Dahl]

I love my performer with the gas igniter it's what got me back into charcoal, so easy to use. Now my gasser is a wind break for the mini most of the time.

 

[Don Cash]

Nice new toy, Brian. Burgers look great.

I lived in Apple Valley for 4 years in the late 70s. Beautiful country. I miss it often...in the summer.

Welcome aboard...

 

[Jim Lampe]

The cold is only taking a small break Brian...

[Gregory R]

Nothing like a good burger and these look delicious!! Enjoy your new toy!!!

 

[S.Six]

[James Lake]
