Great all around grill for any kind of outdoor bbq
Performe Deluxe on a budget, love cooking on it. The tray table comes in handy, and the bottom rack help with storing. All around great quality product, can't complain. If you have the money I recommend the Performer Deluxe just so you have more table space, which when making ribs comes in handy. But this one still does an amazing job.

Weber 22 Inch Performer Grill
This new Performer Grill has worked well so far with no issues. That is; after Weber replaced the side table which was damaged in shipping. Overall, I like all the little features that weren't included in my previous grill (I had a Weber 22 Inch "Original Kettle" Grill). I especially like the enclosed ash catch. Not nearly as messy as the "open architecture" pan of the "Original Kettle" Grill. I also appreciate the thermometer in the lid for "baking" but really I still use a Thermal probe in the grilled item(s) to control for accurate cooking temps. The product is built sturdy and I assembled all parts together in about 30 minutes from the shipped condition. Instructions were clear and all parts were included. The grill grate is of a much heavier construction than my "Original Kettle" Grill and this model comes with the removable circular center grate and I'm still getting use to that feature. There are a lot more opportunities for cooked-on food to stick and get trapped in all the grill joints, so a little more cleaning (wire brushing) is required to remove stuck-on food particles. In summary; I'm satisfied with the Weber Performer Grill; I like all the added features and look forward to many years of grilling service. I've been using one of the Weber Kettle style Grills for over 40 years and this model should perform for a lot of years.

    Great and compact grill!
    Grill is great! The ash catch is easy to use and cleans easily. Side table folds down and compacts the grill for nice and easy storage, while still being sturdy enough to hold weight. Grill has all the great features for a skilled and beginner griller.

    Hands down best back yard grill/smoker around
    This grill has complete changed my lifestyle. From delicious paella to smoked brisket, the Performer Charcoal Grill 22" does it all perfectly. It is a perfect combination of classic weber kettle simplicity with the size of the 22". I don't see why anyone would go gas or waste money on more expensive grills.

    The Last Grill You Will Ever Need!!
    We just upgraded from the old, old original 22” Weber kettle to the 22” Performer Series!! ! WOW! Absolutely love it! The Performer has the new way to hold the lid when you’re tending to the food! The new stainless steel grill has the removable center section, if you want to use a wok or other type of available accessory! The grill also has two sections on either side with hinges, if you need to add extra charcoal or smoker chips! The new ash catcher system is priceless and a awesome time saver!! Top it all off with a four wheel cart with fold down table side! No longer do you need to fight to find somewhere to set your meat down while you open the lid or constantly running in and out with a bowl full of BBQ sauce when it’s time to smother those burgers or St. Louis style pork steaks!! Also has a built in utensil hanger and lower rack to keep your scrapers and what not! Don’t forget a cover to keep your new grill looking like the day you bought it!!

    Great for Grilling, and Smoking
    I purchased my Webber Performer Memorial Day Weekend. It’s absolutely amazing. Perfect for grilling your favorite cuts. Here lately I’ve been smoking pork chops, and Bacon wrapped Jalapeño poppers. Possibilities are endless with this Grill.

      Performer Charcoal Grill with Gourmet BBQ System
      Great grill! Assembly is quick/easy, high quality components, (I would prefer that Weber go back to the SS Grill rather than the plated version), and is a great improvement over the standard 22" Kettle. The lid holder, side table, and wheels are changes worthy of a Weber. I also purchased the BBQ Gourmet Gilling System. Working form home for the past several months gave me time to fully utilize both the Performer Grill and the Gourmet System....really upped my grilling game.

      Nice upgrade from my 20+ year old kettle
      Although difficult to assemble, my new Weber Performer charcoal grill has the typical Weber quality construction and performance. The thermometer integrated into the lid isa great improvement.

      Great Grill
      We really love our Weber! The side table is worth the extra money. A place to put a plate, spices, and utensils while grilling.

      Poor quality control!
      Holes for lid holder was completely off. Could not install lid holder and that was after we already put together everything. Then we also realized one of the holes on the stand to mount the grill was missing a threaded hole for the bolt to thread into. Unbelievable that I paid nearly $300 for this crap that has such poor quality control. I am sooo upset and disappointed because I was almost done putting it all together. Wasted so much time On top of that I had to take apart everything and try to make it fit back in the box to be able to return it. Total of 3 hours from when I started from setting it up to tearing it all back down to put into the box. I am livid! Never again. I expected better from weber.

        Best anniversary gift!
        I love my new Weber. It was easy to assemble and I really like the built in side table and thermometer on the lid. I also like the cradle for the lid too.

        The grill was out of stock in my area. I hunted around the stores in the tri-state area. I located 2 in Delran, NJ. My brother, NJ, picked it up took to my sister’s home In Philadelphia.,where my son, Glenside, PA brought to me in OC, MD. What an adventure, the Weber grill is exactly what I wanted. It was easy to put together. I like the large grilling area. Happy with my purchase. I had an email from a friend to make sure I use it outside. HAH!

        Weber performer
        I have nothing bad to say about the Weber performer with the gold out table. The finish was perfect and it’s a great looking grill. It cooks amazing and also is a great underrated smoker, especially for ribs. Rolls around easily, feels sturdy, easy to assemble and easy to store. It doesn’t cook any better than a regular kettle but the extra leg and table top make all the difference for me.

        Amazing Out of the Box
        Took it out of the box and smoked a pork shoulder to ‘season the grill’. It turned out amazing. Friends and family were eating the left overs for days.

        Get. This. Grill!!
        Love. This. Grill!! The functionality is wonderful!! Great grilling surface space. The table is awesome and spacious. I would have given 5 stars except for 3, small wishes. It's a little too tall for us short people. I find it difficult to reach up and roll the top to the side. Also, one more hanging spot for grill tools would improve functionality. Finally, side handles so grill can be easily moved would be a gift. Overall, however, I'm really happy with my Weber and would buy it again!
