The Crimson Weber Performer Deluxe Charcoal Grill

If you hear someone mention "Weber grills"， you may immediately picture their iconic charcoal kettle grill. And while their older barbecues charted the course for flaming burgers， seared steaks， and blackened veggies for years to come， it's time for new technology (and new conveniences) to come to the table. The crimson Weber Performer Deluxe incorporates next-gen conveniences into charcoal grilling with features like a large built-in table， fuel storage container， easy ash disposal system， and lots of new technology. Charcoal barbecuing might not immediately invoke images of smart devices， but the Weber Performer Deluxe integrates the technology you need right into the grill's stand and body. Small innovations like a removable cook timer and innovative tuck-away lid storage make grilling with the Weber Performer feel easier， naturally. Meanwhile， the Touch-N-Go gas ignition system lights charcoal quickly and with no need for lighter fluid or crumpled newspaper. With a little help from liquid propane， your charcoal briquettes will be burning fast. Give that char-cooked taste to anything you can fit on your 22" diameter grill， from large briskets and turkeys to burgers and sausages.

The Gourmet BBQ System

Some might see the kettle on the Weber Performer Deluxe and immediately assume that this grill is only good for searing steaks and patties. But the Weber Performer Deluxe is designed for the Gourmet Barbecue System， a hinged cooking grate that transforms your barbecue into a full-fledged kitchen. Outfit your grill with cookware from the Gourmet Barbecue series like grill-ready woks， pizza stones， griddles， and poultry roasters. Set this gear into the center of your griddle to cook fish， stir-fries， breakfast feasts， and even desserts outdoors. Infuse all your foods with the smoky flavor you can only get from a charcoal grill.

Grill-Centric Storage

Whether you're cooking pancakes or smoking pork out on the back porch， the Weber Performer Deluxe is designed with storage and organization in mind. A full-length prep table makes the perfect spot to chop， trim， and sauce your foods before they hit the hot grill. Stash cutting boards and platters here， or leave this space clear for large grill utensils like spatulas and tongs. Three dedicated tool hooks sit beside the digital timer， meaning you can keep all your gear within reach when the timer goes off and it's time to flip. Meanwhile， keep charcoal dry and safe below the grill in the Weber Performer Deluxe's storage hoppers. If your briquettes are damp， it'll be tough to light the grill， even with that high-powered Touch-N-Go gas ignition. When you're finished grilling， remove any ash with the one-touch cleaning system; the high-capacity ash catcher sweeps any remaining ash from the bottom of the grill， leaving your BBQ ready for the next grilling session.
