Title: Well made, reliable consistent brand.
Review: I ruined my husband's mini Weber grill and bought this upgrade as an early gift which he had to put together himself. He was so pleased he didn't mind one bit. The box weight is 70 lbs, no way I was moving it. I didn't think we grilled that much, turns out he loved grilling and missed his original Weber that finally fell apart after 30 years. He complained bitterly about the mini's size and the proximity of coals to food. Anyway, he is quite happy with this grill and would not have spent the extra money for the table, shelf under the grill, and the added features. The small table for setting platters down is convenient and it drops down for compactness when storing. It has hooks for hanging tools & mitt. It was fairly easy to assemble, we got the coals going and burned off the "newness" out of it, added a more coals, oiled then bbq'd some steaks & veg. It did a fantastic job. The temp gauge was helpful and the access to the coals was very helpful. There was plenty of room to move veg to the side without compromising them, and the steaks had a wonderful bbq char and flavor. One of the best extras is the lid holder--no more looking for a place to set it away from the dogs or on the ground. I think he will get many years of use out of it. We grill a pancake breakfast on Christmas day, in Texas that can be sunshine, rain, snow or cold & cloudy. With the kids not home for Christmas this year, it won't be the same, but we will keep our tradition.

Title: Quality piece for outdoor cooking
Review: Bought this to replace our not-too-old gas grill that always got too hot and had terribly rusty grates. We decided to go charcoal because food just tastes better than gas-grilled food. While heating the charcoal takes a bit longer, so far the tradeoff in flavor is worth it. We bought match light charcoal, so we couldn't use the chimney that we ordered as an accessory, but that charcoal lights up just fine in the grill itself. Next time we'll go for charcoal without added propellent so we can use the chimney and simplify things. Whatever type of charcoal you use, you're cooking in under 20 minutes - that is not a bad thing! We always gave the gas grill a few minutes to preheat anyway - now we just do food prep work during the heating process. It's nice having a grate just for the charcoal, and the one-touch clean out feature works very well. The side tray is sturdy and goes up and down very smoothly. The tool hooks are handy.I assembled this grill myself (with a little help from my four-year-old) - it was not difficult, except for the center nut for the lid holder - that required a ratchet wrench, because the adjustable crescent wrench just wouldn't catch the nut tightly in the concave center of the grill bowl. Other than that, the instructions were straightforward and easy to follow. The stand is sturdy and strong, and the parts seemed to be of high quality.There are fancier versions of this grill out there, but we chose this smaller version because we felt the gas lighter system unnecessary (and the small propane tanks are unrecyclable and expensive). We certainly didn't want any electronic components in an outdoor grill system, and the grill itself is the same - 22 inches, with the potential for adding extra cooking components as available in larger Performer models. We can store our charcoal elsewhere. It also takes up less patio space than a non-folding model. We are very happy with this little grill. We bought a matching cover, brush, and chimney to complete the package.We're looking forward to many years of service from this grill. Our previous two grills were gas powered, and we had them together for under a decade - the 10-year warranty on this gives me hope that it will last a good long time.

Title: Great Grill
Review: Exactly what I was looking for. All of the features I wanted with nothing I did not need. I have two other grills on my patio so if I want to grill something quick I have a tool for that. To me grilling is about the process and I love the weber for that. Chose your fuel, wood chunks, and how you are going to arrange the coals. Once you figure it out (and it might take some time if you are new to charcoal) I think it makes gives the best flavor, even better than my pellet grill. Tons of YouTube videos out there to get you started.The grill- Super heavy box hinting to the quality parts inside. Really easy install and a high quality finished product. I wanted one with the grill center that could be removed as I wanted to try a vortex. Worked well and now I have another trick in my bag.

Title: Grill
Review: This grill was very easy to set up following the instructions provided in the shipment. What I like is how versatile this grill is where you can sear a steak or slow cook a pork butt to perfection. The charcoal capture tray make clean up very easy and the half moon grate allow you to easily add additional charcoal to keep a fire going. I recommend this product as a simple but very effective grill for the back yard.

Title: Happy so far
Review: This is the third Weber kettle I have owned, and it replaces a 14 year Platinum kettle. It came very well packaged and was easy to assemble. It seems very sturdy and well made, however the jury is still out on the metal side table. The thermoplastic tables on my previous kettle were still near perfect after 14 years, and not subject to rust or corrosion, and I am not sure this new table will last as well. My only real issue with this grill is the ash removal system, which is not as robust, and harder to remove and replace than my old grill. It seems to me that Weber should be able to improve this.

Review: I already owned a Weber kettle for the last 7 years but wanted some of the upgraded features in the performer. It looks after all my previous nitpicks. The only thing I'd like to see them add now is a lid gasket but that is a 2 minute job to handle yourself.Performance is excellent and the BBQ is a workhorse. With the accessories I already owned, I can handle low and slow, sear zones at ~800F, divide and conquer, rotisseries and even wood fired pizza. Great value.

Review: No es nada nuevo decir que Weber tiene una muy buena reputación en sus productos. Este asador no es la excepción. El carrito y la mesa plegable lo complementan muy bien. Normalmente con este tipo de asadores, es necesario tener una mesa a un lado para colocar carne, recipientes, etc. La mesa cumple muy bien con esta función y la parrilla de abajo sirve muy bien para colocar algunas cosas ahà y que no queden en el suelo. A la hora de âguardarloâ, fácilmente ahà pongo dos bolsas de carbón, la torre para encender carbón, utensilios para asar, etc.Lo único malo que podrÃa comentar es que no viene con muchos complementos, como otros modelos. Tuve que comprar por separado las bandejas para el carbón, ya que son muy necesarias. EstarÃa genial que al menos incluyera esas.Altamente recomendado. Lo estrené con un Tomahawk, como se aprecia en la foto.
