Title: New Old Guy in Florida
Post by: RHOUSER on June 02, 2020, 06:27:48 AM
Well it's back to basics.  I just got a new Weber 22" Deluxe Performer.  I have a Weber Q gasser that I travel with but has been relegate to storage because I am done with propane (again).  At 70 years old, I have been cooking on grills and fire for 60 years + if you include hotdogs on sticks and mud wrapped baked potatos around a wood fire at 8 years old.

I cook, that's what I like to do.  My current arsenal is now the brand new Weber Performer,  a Traeger Pellet Grill, and an CampChef 2 burner propane cook top (think kitchen burners).  I have been through 10 years of Big Green Egg (really a great system), 600 lb stick burners back in the 70's- 90's when I lived in Texas, and a plethora of Kettles, Drums, Weber Gassers to include a stainless Summit in the late 90's.  In the end, I am back to the Weber Kettle.  No more propane,  I want the Fire, the Smoke, the Charring, and the Sears that can only be delivered with real fire.

I did a lot of soul searching about what was important.  The Big Green Egg would deliver the heat, but, besides big and heavy, was messy and slow to set up.  I have the instant light propane option with the Weber Quickfire chimney.  This starts in an amazingly short time and is very easy.  I have ordered in what I consider to be the best of the options: the medium Vortex, the Slow and Sear II along with the roaster/grill pan, and a weber cover.

Game on.....

thanks to all who make this a great forum.
