First cook on my used ($20) Weber performer was indirect wings. Half parmesan garlic and half Caribbean jerk. No vortex, just used two charbaskets in the middle. Cherry wood occasionally for smoke. 100% delicious success.
Grabbed this Weber Performer with folding table and the 18" kettle for $40! I'm busting! Been watching marketplace for weeks waiting for the unicorn to show up. I messaged this seller instantly. More in comment. And a question for the community.
Simplified hard top removal. By myself in under 10 minutes. Requires garage or port with joists, hooks and cam straps. Nothin' to it. Hoist up and drive away. Park under it later.
