Leaving soon to go pick this up. It's more than I wanted to spend but as long as it's in the great shape it appears to be its worth it to me. The guy said he bought it last summer and just takes up too much space on his deck. Been wanting a performer for a while, especially a blue one.

Congrats! Looks great! Let us know how it turns out. We want more pics!! :D
Way to go. Like Craig said let see some pic's when you get her home.
I'll definitely post pics after I get it, hopefully it doesn't require much clean up. It's just over an hour away so pics later on....

You're gonna love it, Chris. I'm to the point that every evening that I don't get to cook on my Performer is kind of a bummer. Any other meal is a, "Oh well, if we have to..." kind of thing!
Congrats, Chris! Hope this comes together smoothly. That is a beautiful blue.
...and I just noticed that the blue beauty disappeared from CL, so here's hoping that's because it's in the back of your truck! Please give us some good news!
Just got her home! Traffic was an absolute nightmare. This thing looks brand new! I doubt it's been used 5 times! It came with a cover and 1 and a half bags of kingsford. I'll post pics in just a few minutes.

Last but not least, she's parked in her new home bonding with new family. She'll fit in nicely! This thing was clean enough to where I'm not even gonna sweat deep cleaning it.

Congrats Chris! That performer was literally just down the road from me. Don't be getting too comfortable pickin' kettles on my stomping grounds... lol

Haha! You won't have to worry about me going back there again....for now, anyways. It took me 2.5 hours to get there with traffic and over an hour to get back.....not to mention about $15 bucks in tolls! Don't get too comfy though, I'll be watching ;-)
Tonight I'm gonna break the performer in with some burgers from a brisket I ground up recently. Looking forward to it.

Broke her in. Nothing special. Did a reverse sear on some ground up brisket burgers with a little mesquite. This thing really is convenient. I cook in my driveway usually and it super easy to pull everything out of the garage.

Very cool, Chris! I also see your lid fits in the lid bale just like mine does. Kinda piss poor...

Yeah, I expected it to fit more like a 90 degree angle or greater. It really gets in the way....

i'll have to look at bending it. i'm just scared to hurt my new baby.
i actually noticed a little problem when i was done cooking on her last night. when i was done cooking i close down the top and bottom vents, like i always do. a few hours later i went back to cover the grill and put it back in my garage. i then realized the grill was still pretty hot and the dome thermometer showed about 200. when i close down the vents of my OTG the fire is out and the grill is cold in within an hour. i played with the lover vent dampers and they seem much looser than they should be and i'm guess it's why the fire wasnt snuffed out as fast as i expected. i may have to take them off and possibly put them back on better or tighter.
Nice Performer. I do the like the Blue. Heeeeey waaaaaaaaaaaait she is rolling down the driveway.
;D

It's also possible the PO put them on in the wrong order. It shouldn't be too much effort to investigate and repair or replace them. Good luck!
