So far, so goodAug 20, 2008
I've used the grill three times and been pretty happy with it. I've been using natural charcoal, and I'm still learning how to control the heat. It gets real hot at first and then cools down quickly. But this grill makes it possible to add more charcoal.
Assembly was fairly simmple. It took me about an hour. But some words on the instruction sheets would have been helpful. I made a few mistakes and had to take things apart and redo them.
Starting up the grill couldn't be simpler. Just dump in the charcoal and press the igniter button. It will be ready for grilling quickly - not quite as fast as a gas grill, but quickly enough. And the smokey flavor makes it well worth the extra few minutes.
Perfect comboAug 15, 2008
I was looking at, and reviewing, gas grills for months but was so hesitant
to spend the money because, despite the convenience and cool looks of
a shiny stainless grill, I knew from experiences at bbq's at friends and family, that the food just tasted like it was cooked in the kitchen and
warmed outside. I missed the charcoal flavor of my youth.
So when I fell upon a review of the performer, I couldn't believe it.
As soon as I saw the gas ignition, I was sold. And then the charcoal storage
bin, lid holder, ash can, and large table really got me excited.
I would have spent MORE than 300 for this thing. It's like I found my soulmate.
Assembly took MAYBE 20 minutes. The fact that the instructions are
not written is a clue to how simple it is. (Why didn't someone tell
LV51 (Dec '07) that the casters SNAP into place? They do not fall off.)
The ONLY drawback is that you have to wait quite a while, unlike gas grills, for the thing to cool down before putting the cover on.
Regardless, I give this thing 6 stars.
This is one sweet grill!Jul 17, 2008
I am sooo so glad I bought this :)
I gave this to my boyfriend as his Father's Day gift and he's been grilling with it nearly every day!
Assembly was a breeze. I was able to put it together by myself in under an hour - no problems whatsoever. Very intuitive design, easy to use, cooks great - no complaints! I don't think my boyfriend will EVER go back to gas grillin' thanks to the Performer. If I could give this 10 stars I would. Best buy of the summer!!!

 green grillJul 17, 2008
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.
