Weber 22" Copper Performer Deluxe Charcoal Grill - 15502001

A Lustrous Upgrade: The Weber Performer Deluxe Copper Grill

If you're in search of an upgrade from your classic three-legged charcoal grill, you're looking in the right place. The shining surface of the Weber Performer Deluxe copper grill isn't just for show—this model brings classic smoky briquette cooking into the twenty-first century. For too long, charcoal grillers have labored over their permanent and portable grills and envied their high-tech gas counterparts. In-lid thermometers, attached prep tables, timers, and extra storage space have been featured in liquid propane and natural gas models for years, all while the charcoal grill has stood on smoky, delicious flavor alone. Those days are no longer. The Weber Performer Deluxe copper grill is an easy-to-use charcoal grill that's ready for beginners and grillmasters alike, thanks to features like propane-assisted Touch-N-Go briquette lighting. With just a button, your charcoal lights. There's no messing around with crumpled-up newspaper, lighter fluid, or dry twigs. Once your barbecue gets up to temperature (which you can see with the in-lid thermometer) it's time for the real fun to begin.

The Gilded Kettle Grill

Unlike a classic lidded grill, this model has been built with the subtle Tuck-Away lid holder. You don't have to grill one-handed while balancing the lid in one fist, or place the lid on your nearby outdoor furniture and risk grease stains. Instead, just tuck it to the side to get a good look at how your foods are cooking. The Tuck-Away lid isn't the only space-saving solution the Weber Performer Deluxe copper model hides. But these are subtle innovations, built into the stand for a seamless design. Three small hooks hang below the "Performer" logo, serving as a spot to stash spatulas, tongs, and other grilling utensils while not in use. Below, a charcoal hopper helps to keep briquettes dry and ready to hit the fire when needed. Store other grilling necessities like barbecue gloves and aprons on the below rack here while you're cooking; that way, you keep your attached side table free for any platters or cutting boards.

Next-Gen Tech

While extra storage space is always appreciated, there's nothing better than some exciting technology to take your meal to the next level. For precision in cooking, reach for the Weber Performer Deluxe copper grill's built-in timer. This small device can be adjusted in hours and minutes, allowing you to cook low and slow, or fast and hot. For perfectionist grillers who need their meat to be just the right temperature, check out Weber's iGrill 3. This smart thermometer takes the guesswork out of cooking foods like steak, chicken, lamb, and other meats. Download the app and select your level of "doneness", insert the probe, and walk away to put your feet up. The countdown timer will let you know when dinner is ready to be served. Once you're finished, touch the ash remover lever below the Weber Performer Deluxe copper grill's base to release any leftover ash. Taking care of simple maintenance like this can help to prolong your barbecue's life for years to come.
