I've had the Performer deluxe Charcoal Grill 22"  for about 10 years now and I absolutely love, love, love it! It's the best of both worlds. Easy to ignite and that wonderful taste of real charcoal BBQ. It's been a work horse too as I use it 3 to 4 times a week when the weather is warmish; and in California, it's warm a lot. I just ordered more charcoal baskets (which are indispensable) and a new safer grill brush. I don't put the cover on it like I should and it still is standing up to the elements and my abuse!  if you like the taste of real BBQ but don't like the hassle of lighting charcoal, this is the BBQ for you. Thank you Weber!
