I have a WSM 18.5, and a generic gasser. Been thinking about getting the 18 inch Weber kettle, then decided on the 22 inch premium kettle.
So I finally went to buy the grill today, and was shocked that Home Depot had the Performer Premium on sale for $279. It was a little out of my budget I couldn't resist that price and bought it. I know it will last for years to come, so I'm OK with spending a little more than I would have on the kettle. The Premium is the middle level of the Performer series--it has the bigger work table, but not the gas assist. I figure that I've done just fine with the chimney starter on the WSM, so I won't miss the gas starter.
The guy at HD told me that some locations are making room for fall items and that not all locations have the discount. If you are in the market for the Performer, call around to see if any HD in your area have the sale. (The location in zip code 85209 still had two left in inventory after I bought mine.)
