My first performer thanks to CatskillSmoker

[Jason G.]

So last year I made the dive head first and got into charcoal and of course got a weber. My manager at work was big into them and gave me his old grill which is a 2011 AA code 22". Throughout the summer I bought a 2012 AU code 22" since I had already had a need for more space. They have been great and I made a ton of great meals, racks of ribs, pork butts but hated not having a table. I started searching for good used models but always found them beat up or not very local. I preferred the gen 2 with the stainless steel front and black frame and wanted a dark green, I posted on here and within 24 hours I was in CatskillSmoker's driveway buying a mint gen2 dark green performer deluxe DZ 2008 code. For being 13 years old it looks as good as new, Colin polished it up and cleaned the lid and bowl but it has also been very well taked care of throughout the years. It was a pleasure meeting him and buying just a beautiful example of exactly what I was looking for. Plus the small portion of his collection I saw was very impressive!

First cook was a 10.5lb boston butt along side one of my other kettles with another 10lb butt for some friends and family.

Awesome story and nice looking performer. Great first cook on your green Gen2 performer.

Colin is a stand up guy... Enough said!

Thanks for sharing your story and first cook.

Cheers

Nice meeting you brother and talking shop.
She was my daily driver for 5 years. I saw your post and figured it was going to a good home.
Hope it brings many years of cooking.

Congratulations on your Gen II performer from Colin. It looks great. Even has the upgraded lid bale, that is a necessity in my book.

Nice looking butts too

Gen II performer's are the best other than maybe a SSP. I don't care for the newer look of the
Performers. The Gen II has a nice look with the stainless slotted front, and I love the recessed tool
holder in the center as well. Congratulations and enjoy it!
