Touch N Go Charcoal Grill June 23, 2008
Wonderful product. My husband was so excited to get it for Father's Day. He absolutely loves it. I think the best part is the 2 holders for the charcoal & the fact that you don't need to use lighter fluid or anything to get it started. Just push the button, it's wonderful! We will be enjoying this grill for years to come.

Weber grill/propane ignition June 18, 2008
Works great! Lots of new features and seems well-built. Easy assembly instructions, but they should include extra screws in case you lose one while putting it together. Easy to find the disposable propane tank in a local hardware store, though I liked the old refillable model better. Seems like a waste to replace the tank instead of refilling it.

Nice grillin' June 10, 2008
Well, I received this grille as an aniversary gift. I sure was surprised when it came to the door! We put it together very quickly. It is made extremely well, all parts fit well, with no twisting or bending needed to align screw holes. This is as you would expect from Weber, a big name in grilles. But these days you never know what to expect. It fires up first time. No problems. Add charcoal, let the propane run 15-20 minutes and you are ready to go. There is a nifty brushing device that removes the ash, pushing it into a holder below the kettle. The ash holder is easily removed to empty and clean. A flip out bin is provided under the huge table area to hold a large bag of charcoal. Since it flips in, the charcoal stays nice and dry even without a full grille cover. I do recommend the WEBER grille cover made for this model instead of a generic cover that will not fit snugly. I would also recommend the adapter to use a 20lb propane cylinder so that you are not changing the smaller screw on bottles as often. Although so far I have used one bottle 5 times and it still has some to go.

Since the cooking grille is not height adjustable, you have to build the brickettes to a pyramid design so you can vary cooking temperatures if desired. When I got the knack of this technique everything was fine. It is explained in the guide booklet.

Overall, it is a fine charcoal grille, built very sturdy and well worth the cost.

Great grill -- fast ship June 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

What can I say? Every good review about this grill is true. The easiest-to-use charcoal grill I've ever seen. Plus, assembly was easy and the quality of the grill is pretty good, which leads to my only gripe. The plastic prep surface does look and feel cheap. Aside from that, it's a great grill. I ordered the item through Amazon and the grill came fast. The bundled grill cover, on the other hand, took way too long. Order the grill, skip on the cover -- it's overpriced on Amazon anyway.

WEBER "PERFORMER" CHARCOAL GRILL (propane Ignition) June 4, 2008
I am very impressed with this charcoal grill in many ways. Yes, the natural charcoal gives the meat a natural charcoaled flavor. No longer is there the slight propane flavor experienced on my previous grill. The charcoal lights easily in less than 5 minutes time, and one is ready to grill on hot coals in about 15-20 minutes. The 2 charcoal "boats" allow the right amount of charcoal to be utilized without waste.... one boat for cooking for two persons.... two boats for cooking a meal for four.... and the entire surface for many family and friends. Also, the storage of the grill's top while checking the meat is clever, along with the storage of one bag of charcoal. The entire assembly shows that Weber engineers are "on the ball". The assembly out of the box took me about 45 minutes, producing a very sturdy frame. I found a power drill with a philips drive very useful.

I have only one downside comment: The cool-down time is far longer than the conventional propane grill because one has to wait for the charcoal to extinguish. If you want to cover the charcoal grill for the night, be ready to cover it about 2-3 hours after you finish your grilling. I might add that the Weber "performer" grill cover fits perfectly and will likely NOT blow off in a high wind.... well worth the extra expense.
