Awesome grill
By Redryder
The grill was very easy to assemble. It took less than an hour and it was ready to go. It's very easy to use. You just put charcoal in the baskets, push the button on the gas ignitor, let the coals get cooking for about 5 minutes or so, turn off the gas and let the coals get up to temp. Then add your meat and cook. The work surface is plenty big enough to place platters, etc. I can't find a single negative about this grill.UPDATE 4/1/13I have used the grill upwards of a dozen times and it is still functioning flawlessly. One thing I really like is that when I am done cooking, I just close the top and bottom vents and the charcoal extinguishes. This allows me to reuse some of the charcoal the next time I grill.Here is what I have found as far as time it takes to get from ignition to cooking. I turn on the flames and let them go for about 5 minutes to get the charcoal started. I then let cover the grill and let the charcoal sit for about 20-25 minutes to get up to temperature (around 300-350 degrees if using one basket) At that point, it's time to start cooking.

Because I have moved a lot, I have probably gone through close to 8 Weber ONE-TOUCH Silver charcoal grills but have always been happy with them. Recently, I purchased my first house so i decided to go all out by ordering a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker 22.5 and this Weber Performer Platinum. I must say, the Weber Performer has exceeded my expectations! Here are a few positives:1. Never before have I had such easy coal ignition. This is enough reason to give praise to the Performer Platinum.2. The table-top is spacious and is great for prepping or beer placement.3. The storage space provides one convenient location for coals, woods, and other stuff.Negatives:1. Missing the beer refrigerator :)If you can afford it, my recommendation would be to spend the extra money for the Platinum. Now that I have purchased this grill, there's no going back to the ONE-TOUCH. Hope this review helps.

I've always heard good things about the Weber brand, but this is my first. I'd been looking at this one for a while when I caught a review from America's Test Kitchen. Solid construction on Weber's first-rate name, this has a very sturdy work table, and the propane igniter for the charcoal is a great little bonus that I didn't think I'd use that much (I'm a big proponent of chimney starters), but use it all the time now. The thing I noticed almost immediately was the air flow control into the kettle. The lid seals magnificently, and the air flow regulators do a good job of opening things up or locking it down so tight the coals will extinguish before they turn to ash.
