I grew up with Weber charcoal grills and started buying my own in 1989.  I had one of the original performer style grills that is 15+ years old and I planned on giving to my son when he moved out.  So I needed a new grill and I bought the Performer Deluxe 22".  The grill itself, there is nothing to say, except it is legendary, always be.  However the added features to this grill make it even better.  The larger ash pot, built-in thermometer, metal side table.  I was very skeptical about the propane lighting system, I am a little old fashioned lighting my charcoal with paper, but this system is very nice and worry free.  Still using my Weber chimney and in two minutes, my charcoal is lit, no matter what the weather conditions are.  I use the charcoal storage for my LP tanks.  I do not use for charcoal because it has no lid and humidity will kill the charcoal.  I am very pleased with my Performer Deluxe Charcoal grill, highly recommend.  You will never regret buying a Weber!
