I'm in Saskatchewan. I can order the copper online from Home Depot or they stock the black. Shipping from Toronto would be very costly.

The Copper is cool. It took me adding Cocobolo Rosewood handles to convince me but I like it. Mine also is a 2014 with no silly hand guard "taco" handle so she has that going for her. Those new style handles are the ruination of a classic look....absolutely hate the damn friggin' things. Do you ever make it down to the States? Got any friends just over the border? If it were me I'd hold out for an older model in sweet condition. Maybe get a used non taco to tide you over. There is this:

Order an ash catcher, retrofit to turn it into a OTG. Then hold out for a sweet coloured Performer. Black is beautiful and non taco is the way to go.

I never make it to the States & do not know anyone close to the border. I don't mind spending the money on a new one, I could just feed the taco to my dog, he eats anything.

RED- oh damn....haven't had red in quite some time.  I don't understand why they don't offer red.  Red is in so many team colors.  Although I think I read somewhere on here it has to do with the chemicals, compounds or metals requires to make red kettles being hard to find or something like that.

For my vote, I cast mine for the Crate & Barrel Grass Green Performer Deluxe  ...  bet ya didn't see that coming, did ya ;D  ;D

Course, given your burning desire to purchase new, it's gotta be the C&B Blue (it's almost seems like it's cobalt).                              SJ
"Too Beef, or Not too Beef" ...

Looking for Dark Blue MBH 22", Dark Green MBH 22", Yellow MBH 22", Glen Blue MBH 22", Avocado MBH 22".

This is all very interesting, but how would we know what color you would like to grill on? There are guys on here that have built stables (herds, lines, etc.) of all black grills. It's gonna be your cooker, get what you want, man! They all cook good food.

I never realized that our neighbors to the north were so CL limited, or else I would recommend the color "SS" as the starting point for a Performer. For the bowl? I'm with HFG, one of each. I don't have any of the current colors at all, I only have black and a couple discontinued colors.

Recently got myself a crimson as my second daily driver.  It looks awesome in the sun!
