Use this search feature to quickly find the information you're looking for.

The Weber Performer charcoal grill is another line of quality products from a name which, to many, is synonymous with good barbecue and outdoor cooking. Below is just some of what makes products of this line a great choice for anyone who takes charcoal-based grilling seriously.

Cooking using charcoal is a different experience than is preparing food with gas. There are many additional variables to tweak which allow the outdoor chef a great deal of latitude in the craft of barbecue. Of course, any crafts person is only as good as tools and skill allow, which is why the Weber Performer won't hold you back.

Yet while charcoal really shines for this sort of artistic expression, so to speak, it certainly isn't convenient. First, pour a bag of bricks into the grill, covering it with lighter fluid as required. Next, light the fuel, carefully monitoring its temperature and flame for just the right levels. Sure, you have a great deal of flexibility, but gas is far quicker and much less trouble. That is, it has been until now. Weber's Performer grill strives to combine the quality of charcoal cooking with the convenience of gas grills in a union that will please even the most demanding of barbecue chefs.

First, pour in the charcoal, then use the included gas lighter to ignite the fuel without the need for lighter fluid. This is not only incredibly convenient, but also gives you a more sure flame than would otherwise be possible with fluid and a traditional lighter. When the day is done, the ashes have fallen into a convenient receptacle for much easier cleaning, helping you not only to prepare your grill quickly for its next use, but also to make it last longer and look newer.

The Weber Performer charcoal grill isn't just about making cooking on coals more convenient, however, as it exemplifies the same quality and attention to detail seen in Weber products across the board. Its 22.5-inch capacity gives you a cooking area large enough to accommodate just about anything you can send its way. A large built-in table is great for preparing food before cooking or for storing anything you've just finished.

Similarly, the included charcoal bin makes it easier to keep your coals safe and nearby, making it an even more convenient charcoal cooking appliance. Its included cart makes storing or moving the Performer much safer and easier, and its attractive finish will give it a place of pride in any yard or on any patio. Finally, the included Weber cookbook is a benefit to cooks from the novice to the most experienced, helping you to both refine old favorites and to discover new ones during your grill's many years of service.

Speaking of many years of service, Weber exemplifies a dedication to quality products which any other companies could stand to emulate. The Weber Performer charcoal grill comes with a ten year warranty, guaranteeing its place in your yard for many years to come.

If you enjoy the process and result of charcoal grilling but can't stand the inconvenience, the Weber Performer charcoal grill should be one of your top choices. Weber's quality engineering and innovative design may have produced a grill that offers the best of both worlds.
