Our buddy Anthony Caturano At Tonno took the second SS Performer. Immediately I had a empty pit in my stomach, without a Performer to cook on at the dock. Truth be told I really enjoy the restoration process and needed another project so I searched out another Performer looking for some love.
So this beautiful gem fell into my lap look at the bottom of this post:)
It’s a second generation Weber Performer. Each of the Generations of the Performers have things I like about them.
The classic lines on the first generation Stainless Steel ones, the only performers to use stainless steel. (Here’s the performer Anthony took)
The Black Frame on the second generation.(This is the first Performer I ever acquired)

It’s to get the coals lit really easily. I love that feature. You put the charcoal In my case I always use the charcoal baskets over the burner tube and let the gas assist run for about 3-4 minutes.

I just listed this one for sale. It’s a beauty. FOR SALE. I CLEANED UP THE LATEST PERFORMER TO IMMACULATE CONDITION. YOU CAN LITERALLY EAT OUT OF THE BOWL. $160 TAKES IT HOME
