Weber Performer Deluxe 22-Inch Freestanding Charcoal Grill With Touch-N-Go Ignition - Green

Charcoal ignition system is definitely worth it. Heat control with vent system works well. Easy to learn how to smoke meat slowly or direct cooking when desired. Best pork steak and chicken I ever made with this grill. This is the fourth grill I've owned in 40 years and it is clearly the best of them.

This grill system is perfect. Takes away issues lighting coals, takes away issues of "where to put my plates". The seal is great and produces great food. I have used it for many different grills and have always been pleased. My wife demands I use this grill over our 4 burner Weber!!

Out of all the pits I had in my life this one is by far the best yet.It's a self contained grilling station.

I received this for my birthday in August. No way to return it unless I wanted to break my wife's heart. It's annoying that the ash catcher is so hard to manipulate. It used to be lifted then turned into place. Never failed, easy. Now you insist on this ash design where one has to have strong hands to squeeze and snap the pot handle in place. What if you have arthritis? Weak hands? It falls all the time because it's not set just right. Also, the hole in the middle of the grill? Really? It's a constant nuisance, falling on the ground, flipping out of place. I don't think the thermostat is accurate in that it reads 320 degrees, fine. Then I go inside for a bit and come out and it's 220, so I have to open the grill and get the fire back up. I'll learn the quirks of the grill just like all the others I have had. I haven't tried the new gas lighter because the previous two I had would work for about a month and then never again. You sent me a third replacement once, and frankly, I just was over it by then and never installed it. It was the one with the red button. Finally, I don't understand why the handle is perpendicular to the line between the thermostat and the air holes on the lid. Makes it as bit awkward - no big deal, just another example of trying to make something appear bigger, newer, improved when you haven't done anything special. Just bells and whistles.

Excellent grill. Love the space available for plates, etc. Uses propane to light charcoal without any starter fluid for improved taste. Easy to clean out the ash. Nice temperature gauge built in and even a storage bin to keep you charcoal dry. All good!

Have had a Performer for more years than I can remember and just got this one recently and am thrilled with the improvements.

Perfect grill, love the new features, easy to setup and easy to use.

This grill is my second Weber gas starting grill. The first was great while it lasted. This one with the improvements is even better.

I received this as a gift for Father's Day and all I can say is it exceeds all my expectations. Its perfect in every way. First off the size is perfect to grill so many things. The side Charcoal holder is a a fantastic idea and is always in arms reach. The ignitor makes getting the fire going so easy. Lastly is the table space!! Great to have everything built right in. Spend the extra to get the Performer Deluxe, you won't be disappointed.

This is a great grill - the best charcoal grill I've had. I like the work surface next to the grill - it seems like everything has been thought through for my "level" of grilling. The timer is nice to have too. So far the push button ignition is working well also - I light my charcoal with a chimney starter and just put that over the burner and let the burner run for 5 minutes or so. It lights it up like a charm! No lighter fluid needed! So far, the charcoal storage is also holding up well and is a nice feature. I usually just keep (1) 15lb bag in there. I also like the rack underneath to put the chimney when it's cooled down and some other tools too. My only concerns are that for the long term the plastic timer may break if I take it out and put it back in alot, or possibly the plastic housing as it has to come up to get at the controls for the burner tube. However, I'm careful with these so I'm thinking they should last for awhile. I also have the Weber cover and that should guard against too much sunlight damaging the plastic parts. Also it's important that all the screws line up with the frame. It's hard to beat grilling with charcoal - it seems like it's just the right temperature for cooking what I like to cook, no flareups, and that wonderful smoky flavor!
