Hi, I probably should've introduced myself in the proper section first, hopefully you guys won't hold that against me. My name is Shams and I BBQ (and obsess over said BBQ) more than any sane individual does, but I'm sure I'm in good company in a place like this.
I'm thinking about picking up the 22.5 Performer Platinum, we normally don't get too much snow where I am (Toronto, Ontario) and usually don't see any until January with bulk hitting us in late Feb-March... but so far in December we're already getting piled on so I'm wondering what kind of beating the performer will take.
I'll be storing it in the garage, but wheeling it in and out of the driveway which is a slushy salty mess (it's raining today making it a soup, as our cold/mild weather changes on a dime) so it's more the wheels that I'm worried about rather than the kettle. Should I hold off until spring and just continue with a winter beater for now, or do the enthusiasts here have any tricks up their sleeves in terms of keeping this thing going in the nasty weather?
Thanks.
