Hi All,
Please do yourself a favour and take a moment to check out the all new Weber Performer history Page!!
http://weberkettleclub.com/grills/weber-performer-history/ (http://weberkettleclub.com/grills/weber-performer-history/)
Mr.
@Winz did an absolutely remarkable job on both the write up and the research for this article so soak it all in!
Thank you very much Winz!

I haven't had a chance to read it but looks like a great write up and personally, Gen 2 hits my fancy. Gen2 with Gen4 table? Unreal.....
Excellent write up Winz, very thorough and informative. I wasn't aware there were that many colors for the gen 3,
looks like I'll need more room if I want to get a complete set of AD's.. :o

Thanks Mirkwood! The good news is that Crimson was added after 2010, so you only need 5 Performers for full AD set. You know I am keeping a vigilant C/L eye out for you. :)

I'm with you on that, I hate that they got rid of the stainless front, looks so good.
Nice write up Winz!
Just read this. I didn't think it was possible to want a performer even more than I already did. I was wrong.

I'm avoiding reading it for just that reason......most likely a bang up article Winz !!!!!
I would love a performer, but...... living in the desert and having a back yard of basically sand, I just do not see me pushing that thing around much, a kettle wants to drag in the sand enough. So I live for the day I find one of those cast iron models I can restore.
I drool thinking about those Seville things
Great work, Winz!

I gotta be careful as I mentioned the number of colors needed for a full house and got a nearly fatal dose of stink eye.. :o :o
Awesome write up! I had a question, on kettle history I suppose. So my GF's grandfather gave me what I thought was an early non SS performer. It looks like I'm wrong though. It had a DA stamp on its lid, which would make it a 2001 piece. Looking at the picture of the Gen 2, what I have is missing a lot of those features. It's basically just the cart, table, and wire platform underneath. There's no side panels, hooks, or charcoal holding bin. The gen 2's also came along 4 years after this grill. So do I have like a OT beyond gold and not performer then?

Platinum, perhaps?
There is such a thing, but others will have to fill in years & details......

Thanks for the info Buckie!
That the one?
Great write up
@Winz ! You nailed it!! :D
Wow that was cool. Great pics in there
@Winz , Thanks for hooking me up with that legs while the non-gas assist model Performer and using the picture in the history lesson. It is my favorite Weber I own.
Nice job on the write up on the Performer history.
