Title: Add me to the Weber club!
Post by: squirtthecat on March 10, 2014, 08:32:05 AM

I went to a charity auction on Saturday night (we donated a BBQ dinner package), and while browsing through the rooms of silent auction items, I spotted this guy surrounded by dollhouses and girly baskets.    Well, I just had to rescue it!

Silver One-Touch 22.5".

We rolled it out at the BBQ shop, and gave it a proper seasoning.    Got a big pile of R/O lump screaming hot, and we tossed on a couple of our hickory smoked prime rib steaks.

Flip/flip/flip/rest.


Break out the white linens and fine silver, and Lunch (more like Brunch) is served!

Congrats! They are a great tool to have in your arsenal. I like being able to choose whether I am craving the kind of flavor added by charcoal...or wood. Both are great, but there is a difference.
The nicest part about Weber's product line is that - As far as I know - anything they ever built - you can still get parts for! That philosophy is not common in the "grill world".....

That's a classic cooker that will adapt to so many kinds of cooking. Nice score.

My Performer certainly isn't the biggest, the most versatile, or the best all-around cooker I own but I still use it because it does what it does so well!  There's a reason its a classic  ;D

I resisted for so long simply because I had 10 other cookers outside - 2 of those are charcoal grills.  I saw this one my 22 inch kettle at a yard sale and bought it for $10.
What a bargain - what a buy!!!

B T W, it is stamped with a "K" meaning it was made in 1988.

I am still learning different techniques, etc but I am really liking it so far...

Are those two of the prime rib frozen steaks from a post some time back?  They sure look good.
