Forget charcoal lighter fluid. No more electric starters. The Weber Performer Charcoal Grill uses a gas assist to light the coals fast. The Performer Grill with Touch-N-Go gas ignition has been redesigned with a taller profile. It also features a 22.5-inch porcelain-enameled bowl and lid with a dual-purpose thermometer, a Tuck-Away lid holder, Char-Basket fuel holders, and a heavy-duty plated hinged cooking grate.

The cart is updated with a thermoset work table, heavy-duty steel cart frame, a CharBin charcoal holder that holds up to 20 pounds of charcoal, wire bottom shelf, factory-assembled stainless steel One-Touch cleaning system with a removable black aluminum ash catcher, and three molded tool holders. The Performer uses 14.1-ounce or 16-ounce disposable propane bottles, which are good for up to twelve 10-minute ignitions. Tank is not included. Choose from a variety of colors to suit the style of your patio.

Weber is the way to go!

"I have had this grill for over a year now, and have developed a close friendship with it that I wouldn't trade. Working for GrillsDirect.com, I did a lot of research when choosing my grill. The gas ignite is a fantastic feature – I don’t have to wait for charcoal to heat up, but I still get the flavor of a real charcoal grill. I just turn the dial, press the propane ignite button and I'm set. I'm not wasting mon..." Read Full Review »

There is a trade-off

"We purchased this grill to supplement our standard Weber kettle which was getting a bid old. We very enjoy the quick and easy lighting of charcoal with the gas-assist. And the coal storage bin is a plus. The problem with this unit, however, is air-flow. It simply will not get as hot as the standard kettle. And in order to keep charcoal burning it's often necessary to remove the cover entirely. No matter what ..." Read Full Review »

"Grill is flat out great -- between the abundance of useful accessories, ease and speed of lighting (and cleaning), 1 ample contiguous work space, thoughtful design, and great charcoal flavor, I'm thrilled I chose this grill over Weber LPs, let alone any other charcoal grill on the market.

"I love this grill. My 14yr old daughter and I assembled it in about an hour and we're not mechanically gifted. It works great; you put some charcoal (has a great hopper to hold the bag of briquets) in the grill, turn on the gas/hit the ignition, and after a few minutes the charcoal has caught and …"  Read Full Review »

"I used the predecessor to the Webber Performer for 15 years. Never ever a problem. I once had to get a new lid because the wind blew it off the deck and bent it. It worked great from the day it was delivered - already put together - until the day I gave it away. This grill made the best Rib-Eye S …"  Read Full Review »

"We love this grill. We've had a small weber for years but wanted to upgrade. We love charcoal, but honestly the starter fluid is messy and nasty-smelling. This adds all the flavor of charcoal without the chemicals, thanks to the unique propane-started charcoal system. The rack it is on is amazing …"  Read Full Review »
