ok, what makes up the Ultimate Weber. if your a weber afficionado like myself you know what would make the best weber. welp, in my opinion the weber performer silver or now to be named forever the new UW (ultimate weber) has it all. the old webers silvers have 3 legs (4 legs would have been more secure platform). a open pan on the bottom for collecting ash except when you use it the ash flies all over the place (the new gold models are the bees knees). they didn't have a thermometer on the lids so you never knew what temp you using. and no lid holder. :( they did have one thing going for them. they are one of the coolest and best looking grills ever. and they work fantastic.

in my opinion my fire was to hot. should have used only 1 charcoal baskets instead of two of them. looks good though.
(http://i1339.photobucket.com/albums/o713/sparkybbq/4-13-13%20%20new%20weber%20ya/justcooking132_zps942f8362.jpg) (http://s1339.photobucket.com/user/sparkybbq/media/4-13-13%20%20new%20weber%20ya/justcooking132_zps942f8362.jpg.html)

to make the proper smore is a art. many, many nights sitting around a camp fire in the woods helps.

way better color on this one. it cooked slower only using one charcoal basket. more better for chicken.

this was the best chicken I ever ate. thanks for looking.

Where do I start?? Another round of great cooks for one. Love the new Weber...looks like it would be nice for a small patio but not sacrificing grilling space.
Best chicken ever.........over the PBC??
Saw the moo juice in the background ;)
-
Love the folding metal table. And you are right about the plastic one......junk.
That Is some fine cooking Sparky. Never thought I wanted the rotisserie attachment.....until now.
Finished plates look killer. Hold the green stuff though ;)

Love the new UW sparky. That's a pretty cool accessory you have there too.

Great post Sparky! I have the older Performer with the plastic table - yup it's stained... :o Got a "spinner" for Christmas - haven't had a chance to try it yet - hopefully the snow will go (again) soon. How does it compare with the PBC for chicken?

Rotisserie Chicken over a Weber Charcoal well what else could one asked for. :)
