This Grill IS a Performer. Two features that stand our is the igniter and thermometer, both are ideal when cooking on coals. The easy to use ash catch is nicely designed not to mention a handy coal storage unit that will keep the coals dry. Mobility is a plus and workmanship and material quality is solid. This grill was purchased after my Weber 22"kettle turned 17 years old and finally decided to retire. I will always recommend a Weber and this one will get your juices flowing.
