Weber Performer Silver
« Reply #-1 on: September 28, 2014, 07:55:03 AM »
Yesterday was my BD and we typical tell each other to get what we want. I've stopped trying to figure out what jewelry or perfume she wants years and years ago and she does the same for me when it comes to what I want. Some years we don't get anything and others we get something that we have been looking at. This year I've been wanting a weber. I went to HD thinking about the 18.5 and left with the silver, it is my BD after all.  8)



more to follow as I put it together and break it in.  ;D

Happy birthday, Rad.!!

I like the gifting system y'all have set up.  And it looks like you picked out a nice gift for that special someone. I think you'll really enjoy the Weber.  I can't wait to see how you load that thing up.

Enjoy your day!

Years of good cooking ahead for you.

Take a sharpie and mark full open and closed on the ash pot. Makes life a lot easier

Not sure I understand. Isn't all the way to the left closed and all the way to the right full open?

Somebody posted a pic of the sharpie idea. I like it because I usually can't see what I call the fins. So I use the lever in a narrower range then full left and right.

Hay RAD, first off, great score for your BD.  If you haven't cooked on the Weber Kettle, you're gonna LOVE it.  Plus there are plenty of guys (gals) here tp help out if you have any questions.

Second, actually, on my One-Touch, my vents are actually full open with the lever less than halfway across.  So, by making the pot, I'm always sure exactly how open they are.

I have a dedicated "cooking" umbrella strapped to one of the posts on my deck.  So unless we get a repeat of Hurricane Hugo . . . .

Looks like you've got a good start on those ribs ! ! !
