"Pops"  an old 26"  Wood Dale.  Something about this grill I really like.



What's not to like about that cooker
I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

Lots of performers as main cookers.

@zavod44 considering how many cookers you have had "I call this #1, it's my favorite grill ever, I use it as my main cooker....." this statement is significant.





It's absolutely the best of the lot, I would recommend this to anyone.  I had the older one with the plastic table, but this new one is a major improvement on what was a great grill.  The metal table and the larger lid bale, really makes it great.....I was thinking I should swap the bowl our for a red one or my sage one.........

I said in the initial post to this one that I am considering getting the table for mine.  Sounds like that is a must.

I don't mind the plastic table, but I did break one and the metal is far superior....I suggest the lid bale wire too.  I don't know if we ever determined weather or not you can interchange them but if you can it's a major improvement

I think the lid bale wire from a new performer can be used, @SixZeroFour do you remember who did that mod?

Here are my workhorses. I almost always use both of these when I cook.

The black one started out as your basic low cost 22" One Touch Silver. I added the ash pan and thermometer.

Here is their back up, for when I need more or just feel like a change.

@JDD that grey performer is awesome. I'm seeing it with the new metal table.
Still need a 22" yellow

@mrbill - looks small but if she fits your needs that is all that matters.


mostly cook for 3-4 and it's great for that. but, with charcoal baskets, hinged grate and some planning, the little guys are very capable at cooking a lot of food.

Whoa, Whoa am I looking at a gasser as a workhorse on the WKC?  Someone get this guy a kettle now.

HAHA...totally kidding if you are going to use a gasser that is the model to be using.
