Awesome grill. Easy to light. Temperature control is spot on. Smoked chicken was so juicy. Pork tenderloin chops were tender and juicy as well.
I like the flavor of mesquite charcoal so a gas grill just does not work for me. I buy the LUMP MESQUITE. I've owned other WEBER KETTLES in the past and they are so reliable. As for the pellet grills for the mesquite flavor, I think it is an expense that is unnecessary
I have assembled the Performer Grilll but have not used it as yet. The surprise for me was that you now use a significant thinner gage metal, on the top and, I assume the grill base. I'm disapointted, since I look to Weber for being first in quality. I have owned a Weber since the first 'Kettle' came on the market, and have been totally satisfied. If the thinner steel was a cost issue, I would prefer that you passed that extra cost on to me (and others). Don't sacrifice your quality reputation.
It looks great but lacks in performance. Terrible uninformed customer service.

We are sorry to learn that your experience did not match your expectations. Surely this is not the quality we expect from Weber. We can see that you have been assisted however if you have concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team at support@weberstephen.com. Thanks!
I have had this product about a month. I am very happy with it. I had the 22 inch Weber kettle previously. The table and gas ignition for the charcoal makes it so much nicer. Also the bin for the charcoal and the shelf underneath, very nice. I almost bought a gas grill but decided to get this. We love the flavor of the charcoal.
I chose a charcoal grill because I wanted flavor. I'm new to grilling & Weber couldn't have made it easier. I especially love the touch-n-go lighting system. I admit I had to view several how-to videos before actually using it. I had great results on my very first try (chicken breasts and mixed veggies) and equally great results on my second firing (bison burgers). I was hesitant about spending so much on a grill but everybody I talked to said Weber was the best & worth it. I think I'll enjoy this investment for years. Kudos to my local hardware store who assembled & delivered it for free!
Allow time for assembly for this grill. It arrives completely dissembled and took more than an hour to an hour and a half to put together. The igniter system requires a 1-pound propane tank (the tank size isn't specified anywhere on the web site – it would have been helpful to know the specific requirement in advance.) We had significant issues with our delivery - Weber "moderated" this review and declined to include information about problems we had with our delivery, because apparently Weber doesn't consider the customer service experience relevant to other potential buyers. This is a good grill and would have been rated higher if Weber's customer service was better.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We are sorry to hear of the shipping delays and your disappointment, but we are glad to hear the grill arrived. This unit can be used with 14 or 16 oz. disposable LP cylinders. If you have any other questions or concerns with your grill, please contact us at reviews@weberstephen.com. Thanks!
I love the concept of starting the charcoal with gas. I like the change to the small propane tank from the big one. I have never had good luck with the igniter. It commonly burns the gas in the tube or surges when burning at the end of the tube like it is supposed to. In both ways the flame commonly goes out and I have to restart it. I end up having to stay at the grill for the first 5 minutes to make sure the charcoal gets lit. This has happened consistently with both the big propane tanks and the new small propane tank.

I love everything about this grill. I like that I don't have to use lighter fluid since I ha e the charcoal igniter. I also like having the work table. I also bought the pizza oven attachment and have made a few pizzas that have turned out amazing.

When will my item arrive?
Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.
- Most freight products ship on a pallet
- Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
- We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.
For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:
Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.
For carriers that deliver without an appointment:
Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
