Classic charcoal grilling

The Weber Performer Ø 57 cm allows for direct grilling over hot coals as well as indirect cooking at lower temperatures. Direct grilling is ideal for steaks, sausages, and vegetables, while indirect grilling is suitable for larger cuts of meat or longer thermal processing. You can control the heat intensity by adjusting the amount of fuel and the settings of the ventilation vents. The built-in lid thermometer allows you to monitor the internal temperature of the grill without having to open it frequently.

Practical trolley with storage space

The main advantage of the Performer model over standard kettle grills is the cart with a side table and lower storage shelf. The table provides a workspace for preparing ingredients or placing grilling tools. The lower shelf allows you to store additional supplies, keeping them easily accessible during grilling. Two wheels make it easy to move the grill around the garden or terrace. A practical addition is the Tuck-Away lid holder, which allows you to simply slide the lid in without having to place it on the ground.

Cooking grate compatible with Gourmet BBQ System

The grill features a hinged plated steel grate, the sides of which can be lifted to conveniently add charcoal during grilling. The grate is also compatible with Gourmet BBQ System (GBS) circular accessories. With the right inserts, you can expand the grill's capabilities to include things like pizza making, grilling on a cast-iron surface, or wok cooking. GBS accessories are sold separately.

Easier cleaning thanks to the One-Touch system

One-Touch Cleaning System allows you to sweep ash from the bottom of the grill bowl into the ash collector simply by moving the control handle. The same mechanism also regulates the bottom air intake, helping to control the intensity of the fire. Once the grill has cooled down completely, the ash collector can be removed and emptied. The porcelain-enamelled surface of the bowl and lid is corrosion-resistant and makes regular maintenance easier.

Weber Works for additional accessories

The cart includes a Weber Works side rail, which allows you to attach compatible clip-on accessories. This lets you expand the storage and organisation of your grilling tools according to your needs. The Weber Works system complements the cart's practical design, ensuring you have a workspace and the necessary tools close at hand while preparing food. Weber Works accessories must be purchased separately.

Care and maintenance

After every grilling session, we recommend cleaning the cooking grate with a suitable brush and regularly removing ash using the One-Touch system. Empty the ash collector only after its contents have cooled down completely. When maintaining the bowl and lid, use cleaning agents suitable for porcelain-enamelled surfaces. The grill is intended exclusively for outdoor use and safe distances from flammable materials must be maintained during operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cooking area of the Weber Performer Ø 57 cm?

The grill is equipped with a grate with a diameter of 57 cm. The manufacturer states a usable cooking area of 2,342 cm², providing plenty of space to prepare multiple portions simultaneously.

Can food be prepared using the indirect method on the Weber Performer grill?

Yes. You can arrange the charcoal or briquettes away from the area directly beneath the food being prepared. Indirect grilling is ideal, for example, when preparing larger cuts of meat that require longer heat treatment.

Are the Gourmet BBQ System accessories included in the package?

The basic cooking grate is compatible with the Gourmet BBQ System, but individual grilling inserts, such as the pizza stone or wok, must be purchased separately.

How does the One-Touch Cleaning System work?

The One-Touch system uses moveable blades to sweep ash from the bottom of the bowl into the ash collector. The control handle also allows you to regulate the bottom air intake. The ash catcher can be emptied once the grill has cooled down completely.

What is the difference between the Weber Performer and a standard Weber kettle grill?

In addition to the kettle grill itself, the Weber Performer also features a cart with a side work table and a bottom storage shelf. This provides more space for food preparation and for keeping your grilling accessories handy.

What do we recommend buying?

To operate the grill, you will need high-quality charcoal or grilling briquettes. For faster and more convenient lighting, we recommend using a charcoal starter. A protective cover specifically designed for your grill model is also a practical addition. You can find further equipment in the Weber grill accessories category.
