This grill has changed how we enjoy our patio and grilling. Putting together took some time but now that I've been using it for 8 months, I can say I couldn't live without it. It makes grilling so easy and everything works as advertised. I highly recommend it.


I received the Weber Performer already assembled as a gift over two months ago. I have cooked about 80 percent of my meals since then on this grill because everything is so easy to use.

All I do is take whatever charcoal is leftover from the last cook, add a little more fresh charcoal and then put that fuel in a chimney. I then put the chimney over the propane burner inside the grill. After about 3 minutes, I shut off the gas and let the charcoal light all the way to the top until the flames are coming through the top of the chimney and the top coals are turning gray. I then dump the charcoal into either the charcoal baskets if I'm doing indirect cooking, or onto the charcoal grate if I'm doing direct cooking. This whole process takes about 20 minutes and then you are ready to cook.

I haven't used gas in about 8 years and have had an old cheap charcoal grill, but this new performer is better in every way and worth the extra expense over a Weber One Touch Gold or Silver.

The Performer has the following improvements over a One Touch Gold:

1) Gas assist with lighting charcoal. No more do you have newspaper ashes blowing around your patio. Just put your charcoal over the gas assist burner in either a chimney, the provided charcoal baskets or piled up into a pyramid and the performer will do the rest. All you have to do is turn on the gas and push the igniter button.

2) Work table attached to the Performer. This gives you a very stable work table to put seasonings, plates of meat or vegetables, utensils and an adult beverage on. It is heat resistant and easy to clean.

3) Charcoal bin. This gives you a handy place to store your charcoal so that it will always be within reach and be dry. The bin pulls out at an angle.

4) The Performer sits higher at a more comfortable height.

5) Cart allows the Performer to be more stable with almost no chance of being blown over, and also helps if you need to move it from one end of a patio to another because it is on four wheels that can be locked in place if need be. Below the cart you can also store your chimney or baskets when not in use.

6) Lid holder. This feature is great because on the One Touch Gold you either have to purchase an accessory or put the lid on the ground which will then either stain your patio overtime or pick up grass or dirt on the lip of the lid.

7) Utensil holders. It comes with three hooks to hang your utensils or grill brushes on.

8) The Performer just plain looks awesome and you will get a lot of nice complements for it. It really looks nice on the patio.

The One Touch Gold is a fine grill, but I just feel the Performer is the COMPLETE grill and that most people considering both will always wish they purchased the Performer.


This is an amazing grill. I love every part of it.

The cooking surface is very large and can accommodate nearly any amount of food. I regularly cook for 10-15 people and it handles the load easily.

This grill is also great for BBQ smoking if you don't have an actual smoker. The grill grates that come with it have "trap doors" on the sides so that you can continue to add charcoal and wood to your heat source while the food stays over the middle away from the direct heat.

The built in ash catch is very sturdy and holds a lot of ash, you can use the grill a lot before having to empty it.

The propane lighting system is very efficient and has never failed me (over 100 uses).

The table top and built in charcoal holder may seem like luxuries, but they are worth their weight in gold.

Cons - the nut that holds the lid holder on comes loose pretty easily, so just make sure to keep it tight...one of mine fell off, but it was no big deal, I just replaced it with a wing nut for 10 cents.


I got my unit through amazon.com several years ago...picked the green and it was delivered to my door for a hundred dollars under what it was available for locally here in NW Montana. It has been a superb unit. Only problem I ever encountered was trying to run it near lake with high sustained winds....kept blowing out. Don't try to lift charcoal stowage end when filled with charcoal...I managed to get a small but fixable crack immediately into the nice plastic work surface/surround. This must be my 8th BBQ and the best yet! Previous one cost 3 or 4x more and was a stainless gas only. Good Luck


I want to Home Depot Expo they had a performer on display I had been looking to buy one for a while. I was willing to pay full price. The one he had on display was broken. The salesman went to the back. When he came back he said he had three total they were all damage, The plastic tops were broken. He could make one good one from the parts from all three but it would still have a broken plastic top. I said make me a deal and I will buy the broken one. He came back from the managers office and said the best he could do was 20% off. He said he could special order one. I thought about it and said no. I was sure it would be broken also. I went to Barbeques Galore they were closing a store that had one on display so I bought at 50.00 off regular price the plastic was damaged but still in one piece. I think you if you are looking to buy one make sure they have one in stock.

Okay, the barbeque works great I like not having to get my chimney going all the time. The way the lid sits against the side is nice also. I also like the charcoal holder. I am planing to cook turkeys and such its nice not having to open the stainless steel lid to get to the charcoal. I am looking for another one on craigslist for my mother in laws house also.


This grill does exactly what it's supposed to do.......the propane feature takes about 10-15 minutes to have the coals burning mostly white. It's a little awkward, though, when adding more coals around the 2 metal holders. The propane flame does not reach the outer edges of the bottom grate, so I've used a match to light the outer portion of charcoal, then used the propane for the metal holders.


Weber 847001 22-1/2-Inch Performer Charcoal Grill with Touch-N-Go Propane Ignition, Green

I am very happy with my charcoal grill. It is so easy to operate and the "touch-n-go propane ignition" makes it very easy to start the charcoals.


I make TV programs so I am somewhat visually oriented but the illustrations that were used as assembly instructions left a bit to be desired. If they had simply accompanied them with English I would not have had to assemble and disassemble it several times. Otherwise the gadget works just great and I love the propane starter. No more messy starter fluid and it is very fast.


Hi I have owned this grill for a couple weeks and I wasn't sure how I would like it and it seemed over priced, but the first time I used it this baby heated up in no time and once it got hot I could have grilled for hours. When it gets hot it stays hot. I love to grill but I am no pro at it. My husband had this baby together in one hour so for the review that it took someone 8 hours is crazy. If you like to grill and like to have a little work space with everything togther this is the one. This grill is ready to cook on in about 15 to 20 min. I liked it so much I orderd one for my brother as a gift. Hope you enjoy yours.


Wonderful product. My husband was so excited to get it for Father's Day. He absolutely loves it. I think the best part is the 2 holders for the charcoal & the fact that you don't need to use lighter fluid or anything to get it started. Just push the button, it's wonderful! We will be enjoying this grill for years to come.
