Just bought this grill and was looking for a review. Clicked the first video I saw and was really surprised it was an old school guga video!
Thought I recognized that Voice sup dude.
Same dude, I just got mine for Christmas and I'm glad Guga made a review!
You do what I do 😂 buy it and then watch reviews to ratify your decision
@@harrellbright1275 yea! me too!!!! lol
This video shows you just how hard Guga has worked to learn, and up his game. Gotta respect that.
I wish I had friends like yours. That's one heck of a gift .I got a hand me down Weber kettle and it's awesome.happy grilling. The performer will be my next grill purchase when the time comes.
We bought the same grill and it's the best I have ever used. You didn't mention the use of the propane gas bottle to light the coals. I think you used the charcoal starter hand device instead. The small Coleman propane bottle screws into the receiver behind the clock area. I stack the coals in the center of the coal grill and turn on the valve for the gas and press the starter button. This works very well and gets the coals started quickly. Once the coals are lit on the bottom I turn off the gas and evenly spread the coals and put dampened hickory or mesquite wood chunks with the coals. This will produce the smokey flavor . Place the lid back and get the temps to 400 degrees.
Since we like our steaks medium rare, I sear the steaks for 4 minutes on each side flipping only once directly above the coals then move them to the side of the grid not directly over the hot coals and re-position the lid. Since I have a digital meat thermometer I insert the probe into the meat until the center is at 145 degrees then remove them. Let them sit for about 5 minutes before cutting.
I like your idea of using the 'Coal Bin' for a trash can as It's difficult to scoop up the charcoal from the bin. I agree, the clock is useless, There are several videos on how to use this Weber grill and how to prepare different foods on it. We have purchased the Weber chicken basket and pizza stone both items work as advertised. The pizza was great.Thanks for your video and we wish you good BBQing.
This is the Performer premium model which doesn't have the gas ignition for lighting the coals. The Deluxe model does have it, and is really the only difference between the two models.
Richard Krentz I want to buy the copper version, but I do not want to use gas can I still light up the coals to start a barbecue without usage of gas? Thx
Thanks for the review. Beautiful yard btw. FYI There’s a propane assist mechanism on the grill to help get the charcoal going. Also, that center circle is removable so that you can add something like a Wok to the grill.
I'm watching this video like, "this dude sounds like Guga..." and I'm like nah this doesn't look anything like his vids then I looked and wow...7 years ago; everyone starts somewhere! Thanks for all your awesome videos. Lets do it!
Sempre inovando, isto é espetacular, parabéns.
Guga! This is fantastic! Since you have a rather large collection of knives, I would like to see reviews on your knives. Also the best sharpening techniques you use!
Yes, +1 for that
Beautiful cooking area Guga! I may need to come down for lessons. I love your videos and are very inspiring and I have made my first steaks after your videos and have been following your tips and cooking instructions. I got the weber 22" on the stand. I really want to get that exact weber grill you have there eventually.
Just ordered mine in green. Can’t wait to get it and make a video on it. Good job doing a description on it Guga.
I was thinking you can add wood chips along with the charcoal. It look pretty easy to use. Thanks for sharing.
I just got my first charcoal grill and I tried the salt only method. PERFECT for me. So delicious. When I used to use a gas grill I needed Lawry's seasoning. Salt is all you need.
I'm a big fan of Weber! I love this grill setup!
Guga please go back and do a remaster of this video now that u know more I am wanting to upgrade my charcoal grill and am having a hard time finding a good review
treyyoder I love the Weber kettle do it
@@enorma29 this comment is literally from two years ago like wtf why waste both of our time to just say something negative damn
Have been cooking on a Weber kettle for the last 30 years, it's really easy to turn it into a smoker too.
I love the idea of using the charcoal bin as a garbage can. Just bought this grill, but copper. Can't wait to try it.
Thanks for the video. I'm getting one of those very soon.
Look how far you've come man! The modern Guga would give this guys some lessons, lol
I just got the exact same one a few days ago. Havent used it yet but i can't wait to throw some ribs and steaks on it. I agree on the timer, at first glance i thought it was a meat thermometer, luckily my meat thermometer fits in there just fine. Great video Guga.
If it wasn't 1am I would go and cook myself a steak after watching your video :-). Thanks for this review.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Great review and you have a killer back yard.
Thanks for the review. How do you clean up? What do you do with the spent charcoal and ashes?
I loved your video and I really like your style. Well, done!
Wow, look like you have a kick a** outdoor kitchen set up👍. Just got my Weber and trying to learn charcoal grilling. Ty for your vid.
I am glad you are now sold on Webber! Came here from one of your waygu videos...
That grass is nice! Old skool video Guga. Gj!
Hey just watched this, great review love these performer Webber grills.
Heads up the center grate is removable for a Dutch oven. Cheers
good to see how far you've come guga :)
Use 100% natural lump charcoal like Royal Oak and add wood chips for smoke.
Got it for 2 months now, its amazing
That doesn’t look like the deluxe model, I think it’s the premium model
no the premium has the gas starter
Have you tried the slow n sear for your Weber? I just purchased one. The ratings are really high on Amazon.
Regarding the Timer, yep I agree, what would have been awesome would have been a temp probe though your Meater+ probes cant be beaten.
Would you be able to review pallet grills in the future? Camp Chef SG vs Traeger PRO vs Rec Tec Stampede...etc?
Google you’re the best man thanks for the review I follow you on sous vide everything of course I’m cooking every way possible except charcoal. LOL I have a propane smoker and the sous vide moving on to charcoal or wood pellet what are your thoughts on the wood pellet?
I’m happy you upgraded Guga! Because your cooking here wasnt what it is today😅
I have one too just like yours. Mine has a foldable table. Love it. Great vids btw. Your Awsome!
Mine had a ignition button where the timer is and it’s awesome. Not sure what the difference in model is.
Thanks for this, think I’m gonna get one
Great grill. Webers can ast for over 20 years...I get smoky flavor by placing chunks of hickory or mesquite wood with with the coal. I also use wood charcoal.
Guga, how about a wood fired pizza? Using other stones pans etc. It might be a great episode to do. Love the show Saludos a los muchachos.
You've come so far! Steak game leveled up about 100x
good video. funny you mentioned how useless the times is when I have bought one of those cheap timers to have beside my weber Q2000. We all have iphones now but when you are cooking it's way easier to just press a button instead of having to unlock your phone, opening the clock app etc.
Not to mention that your hands are usually dirty so you don't wanna get grease all over your phone :)
I agree with you. I with they had added more..., but again we always want more... :-)
Not all of us...
Also an iPhone opts out in direct sunlight and heat with a black screen. So one reason I am actually looking just for the deluxe is because of the extra integrated timer
Not to mention getting food grease or charcoal dust on your phone.
The timer is for people who use this grill as a smoker
5:31 you probably already figured this out but there is a round searing grate you can buy separately to insert in the middle which would've been perfect for your steaks here.
Awesome review. Thanks, now I'm hungry :)
i finally got a new one of these weber performers and i cannot wait to use it this weekend. i already primed it by placing a few charcoals and lighting it up to burn off any of the manufacturer's oil out.
one thing i noticed is that the cord that keeps the charcoal bin from falling when you attempt to get some charcoal touches the grill. now when it is hot, i see this as a possible weak spot where it can break off even though it looks strong enough to handle the heat. for now, i will keep the bin tilted when grilling. if there is anyone who had some experience with this, please let me know. is it strong enough to handle the heat?
Geat inormation Thanks, Your grass is outstanding by the way!
Weber trolly or cart? I like the timer,because I do not carry a phone
What kind of tongs are you using? Great video.
Great grill...my Performer is 4 years old and is working as great as day 1...I would say that the smoke comes from your fuel and not resulting from your cooker. I use natural hardwood/lump charcoal and have found that Royal Oak is the easiest to work with...virtually no sparks.
yep, you are so right, now that I used it alot, this is weber is the best! I love it.
Hi Guga, can you give more information about the project of the custom car to the smoker... I enjoyed this idea? If you have a video about it please send the link. Thank You
Great video and very nice review of the Weber
Thanks I appreciate that.
The deluxe version has a gas starter, this isn’t the deluxe. Your channel is my new favorite!
Just purchased my first Performer, March 20/17, love it so far!!! Just bought a ThermoWorks Smoke thermometer so I can actually see what the temp is at my food location on grill. Do not like the idea of the temp gauge on kettle being over coals and draft over meat when one wants to smoke. Another thing I whish Weber would consider is having a hole with a gasket so one could put probes through. This way one would not have to pinch probe with the lid of kettle. Now this is just my first thought about the smoke for I have not even used it yet.
I love it too, I 100% agree with you.
From the looks of grill, I believe that you have the Weber Performer Premium (not the Deluxe). The Deluxe would have the gas assist charcoal starter where the timer is. Your grill is part number 15401001
yeah, I you are correct. I wanted the one with the gas but they did not have it available.
Can you up and down the grill from the fire?
I was convinced I was getting a Weber Spirit 310 until I learned about this Grill, the Performer seems to limit a lot of the annoyances of Charcoal grills, seems like a great bet for a guy who appreciates taste but hates mess and fighting with charcoal heat.
charcoal is awesome and very easy to work with once you have the right tools.
You've come a long way on your videos and on your cooking.
Is updating a Weber kettle a waste of money?
I have a Weber kettle from 2004, it has an ash catcher, but none of the little things. I have added a thermometer and it has a lid hanger. I often think about updating it, but don't see what I would get besides hangers on the handle.
Is there anything really different between today's model and one 20 years old?
Truly wish I could afford this 😢 looks awesome
Is this grill good for indirect grilling/smoking meats? I would assume you just put the charcoal on one side of the grill without using the charcoal basket?
They make slow n sears that fit them i believe
Wood chips and better charcoal
Solid review
I am going to buy a used one soon.
New this set up is 440!!
Damn. Nice setup.
What do you think of Big Green Eggs?
The charcoal reload is designed to be done on the fiip-up sections of the grill, not the center section.
Best feature, not mentioned, the electronic igniter!
What kind of salt was that? I usually use Kosher but those flakes were huge
Guga my friend! Please make videos on how to bbq various steaks, how long each one needs to rest for, and such. It would really be helpful! Thank you
Wow you have come a long way wit your videos bud lol
Thanks for the review. I think that grill is (now) the Performer Premium not the Performer Deluxe. They may have upgraded the Deluxe model since this posted.
How do you get the coal?
I still don’t get it. The Webber Master Touch is a great grill, but is this thing worth the extra money for a table and a bin? And it rolls around the patio when you are trying to flip burgers, surely heavier is better and safer?
More grill/tool reviews please.
I want to grill wit this cat. Thanks for sharing, bud.
garden tour?
Guga you’ve come a long way lol
I was wondering how to use the gas ignition. Do you use it?
Pile the charcoal up in the center of the grate as usual, fire up the gas, let it burn for 5 minutes, turn off the gas and proceed as you would with any charcoal grill.. It's an easy way to start the charcoal, no petroleum fluids or taste! UNLESS >> "This is the Performer premium model which doesn't have the gas ignition for lighting the coals. The Deluxe model does have it, and is really the only difference between the two models."
Cant believe you still use this same grill to this day. Must speak volumes to how great it is
You're not using that Weber to its full potential until you're smoking low and slow. Great heat retention and stable temp. Weber charcoal grills are solid. Others can't compare.
that yard though man!
Have you tried grilling pizza on it?
Does he still use this grill?
Muy buen video!
if you want more smoke flavor just throw in a chunk of hickory or some other flavors it works just perfect , and remember to have the vent on top over the meat
Where is the garlic powderrrrr. Glad to see you learn from trial and error. :D
October 2019 here
Great video!
Thanks
Why does it have two racks?
I bet you could Sous VIde those thick steaks finish it real fast on this grill. You should do a mash up with the Sous Vide Everything guys, I have a feeling you know them!
hahahaha... look who is here. Vincent I already did the mashed potato bro. Look at the ribeye cap steak on sous vide everything channel... thanks for the support bro.
Only rich morons that want to show off use water to cook meat ha ha ha ha ha
You can take the timer out and bring with you if you like
HAHA, I can see Angel wheeling this away with all the meat in it :D
Nice Grill. Would be much better if painted-steel top was made of stainless steel instead. The life of the painted-steel top would be a problem in the medium run time
Guga as a Rookie lol
I'm paint de Weber un working for 12 years.. I'm liked my job
Can you show how you clean the Grill
Yes, I might do a video about that.
....scrub it.
I see
What are you getting compared to the master touch? Seems to me you are paying an extra 200+ dollars for a small table, a plastic bin and a timer that most people won't use. I think I'd just get the master touch and buy those other things separately as needed for a fraction of the price.
Smokey, you want to open the top grate
How u gonna get smoked flavor without wood????????
Lmao for real
You can add wood chips or chunks. I've smoked tons of stuff with this grill and it turns out great.
charcoal is wood
Luis Trevino what 😂
G0BLiN CHARCOAL IS WOOD
It would be a show for content i know its not sous vide.
Helluva friend. Yeah👌
