SHould be here in a few days.

This may be a silly question......but even though its all ceramic coated....Do you still need to "season" it?

I plan on doing one virgin burn anyway to get rid of all manufacturing residue.

I ordered the adapter hose so I can utilize the 20 pound cylinder.

I am also ordering the rotisserie. I just got off the phone with customer service at Weber ( Nice folks! ) and asked if they made it in blue to match the grill I ordered. They only make 3 colors. Light medium and dark BLACK!

Oh well, it was worht a shot.

Cant wait for this thing to get here. The reason I ordered it was .......I have a 1200 gas grill on my porch......ran out of propane, and used my "emergency backup" little cheapie charcoal grill for my meal one night. I forgot just how doggone good it tasted on charcoal. So......I now have all 5 of my 20 gallon tanks full...and I am waiting on my performer!

Ray,

You're gonna love the performer! I got one off of Craig's List, brand new for just $150 a few weeks ago. Don't worry about seasoning it, it's not necessary. You're right, food cooked over wood is always better than gas. I still use my gasser sometimes for speed and convenience, but with the gas assist of the performer, I can be ready to grill pretty fast. Having the work table is also a nice benefit. Enjoy your new toy.

you have 100 pounds of LP around? Unless you stole the cylinders, you could probably have run an NG line to your porch And... Speaking of stealing cylinders... what's your address?

I can predict your future... Once you get used to the performer, your next purchase will no doubt be a WSM - followed immediately by a Stoker

OK.......its been a week and I have use it every night. Steaks come out perfect.

Tonight I had rib eyes,

grilled okra, carrots, and green onions.

Gawdddddddd it was good!

soooo, when ya gonna start smoking on it??

I just ordered the wsm smoker

man o man, talk about a guy and his new toys !
you got yer work cut out for ya in learning how to use both. its gonna be a blast. do not get into the bad habit of using kingsford.

I've got the Kingsford habit. What's your recommendation for charcoal?

just about anything else. royal oak is a good all around brand. usually the lump can be found at wal mart. the briq can be had at major food stores or restaurant supply stores. lazzari lump is a very good choice also. not sure where you are located so maybe check localy.
