Weber 22" Black Performer Charcoal Grill - 15301001

An Upgraded Stand: The Weber Performer Charcoal Grill

A natural evolution from Weber's original kettle grill, the Weber Performer improves on a classic design with a modern stand. Instead of the traditional tripod construction that could only support the grill's body, the Weber Performer sports a four-wheeled cart that's easy to move around on patios and pavement. The simple design might look Spartan at first glance, but a thorough investigation reveals thoughtful elements that will make each grilling session easier (and smokier) than ever before. Made with small space grillers in mind, the Weber Performer's foldable side table tips up during cooking sessions, then folds away when you're finished grilling. Keep a cutting board or spices here on the tray to create a mini-prep station, then trim, chop, and dice all ingredients here before tossing them onto the charcoal grill's plated steel grates. There's no need to clutter your side table with spatulas or tongs—instead, hang these grilling utensils from the three utensil hooks. Once your charcoal briquettes are up to temperature, it's time to start grilling.

Food Over Fire

Food sizzles over hot charcoal with the Weber Performer. Tip the lid back into the Tuck-Away lid holder to check on the progress of your proteins, then pull it back up to resume cooking. There's no need to hold the lid in one hand while flipping burgers with the other. Meanwhile, the in-lid thermometer can help you get a read on what the temperature is like inside the grill. Adjust your vents accordingly to allow more oxygen (and higher heat) into the kettle when necessary. Whatever you love cooking on summer nights in the backyard, protecting and cleaning your grill will help it last for years to come. Make sure to thoroughly clean your grates after each meal with a stiff grill brush and dispose of any ash in the bottom of the kettle. The One-Touch ash removal system sweeps the bottom of the grill for ash, pulling it down into the high-capacity hopper. Remove this regularly to prevent unnecessary buildup. Finally, equip your barbecue with a weather-resistant Weber grill cover. These help to keep damage from UV-rays and water at bay and are made from heavy-duty fabrics. Straps near the bottom attach to the Weber Performer, helping to deter critters and keep the cover secure.
