I bought my first Weber Performer grill in 1988, it was the lower end version without the igniter. I loved it. Lived in Annapolis Md, and grilled on it year round. Moved to Florida in 2004, and had to leave the grill behind. Bought my first Performer Deluxe then. Finally this year I had to replace it. What did I do, I bought another Performer Deluxe! I love this grill.
