After several brewskies last night, I wake up with an email from Amazon thanking me for my order of a Performer Platinum...whoops :p

Its way more of a grill than I need right now, but its better to have more than less I think! I want to test out smoking on it, see if I really want that WSM.
 
Nice purchase I love my performer and it's a great grill to either grill with or smoke. How is the hangover? At least you won't buyer's regret. In my YOUNGER days I woke up to worse things than a nice new grill.
 
I've got my eye on this one on CL... But I can't get the seller to reply to my emails :-(

This is an older model , but I like it a lot , and it looks pretty pristine.

Congrats Andrew, you won't regret it! I suggest drinking some beer right about now and after five hours of "contemplation", order the WSM too. You already know what color you want right? There you go!
 
Congrats Andrew, you will have a blast with your new grill. Great choice of color, Black by far is the prettiest color Weber has.

Not too bad really. Was expecting it to be horrendous since I gave that Redd's Apple Ale a try (pro tip - it sucks!)

Question, does a standard Wal-Mart style propane tank fit the gas ignition system, or does it need to be one of the slimmer tanks?

Correct I don't like any of the hard ciders. On my performer I just use the disposable propane tanks that you can purchase at Wal-Mart.
 
Congrats on the grill!

The best thing to do with that Apple Cider is to brine a pork butt in it for pulled pork. I borrowed this from Bob and it is very good. Drink it? NO!

You can use either the skinny 14.1 oz or fat 16.4 oz disposable cylinders. I think some folks have connected 20 lb bottles also, but to me the disposables last plenty long as it is.

I love surprizes! The best part is when you don't see the E-mail and a package just shows up at your house one day - not that that's ever happened to me :rolleyes: That's a good grill to get stuck with. My kettle gets used a lot more than the WSM does. When I want to slow cook something though I'm glad to have the WSM.

How many beers before you ordered Andrew?

Not that many really, just needed an excuse to buy it.

Unfortunately, I didn't change my mailing address to the right one. I had to cancel the order, and now have to wait till my bank returns the money to re-order to the right address :mad:

Oh well, I also didn't purchase it through the link on the TVWBB page (totally forgot), so I guess my actual order will be done correctly.
