TheWeber Performer Deluxe GBS Charcoal BBQ – 57 cm – takes Weber’s
ongoing evolution of their kettle barbecues, with it’s origins in the
1952 heritage kettle design, and uses their total familiarity with
charcoal grilling blended with much customer feedback to create a
charcoal barbecue that, while it’s signature Weber stylings may look
very familiar, features the Gourmet BBQ System cooking grate, Tuck-Away
lid holder, stainless steel One-Touch Cleaning System, and rust proof
removable ash catcher to take the concept up to the next level for even
more simplicity of use and grilling versatility.
The Weber Performer Deluxe Gourmet with GBS 57 features the Gourmet BBQ
System grate which can be used as a standard cooking grate or by easily
removing the 30cm central section and replacing it with one of the
interchangeable GBS accessories; wok, sear grate, griddle, pizza stone,
dutch oven or poultry roaster, all of which are separately purchasable
and can be bought individually, to greatly expand the range of the
grilling, roasting, stir frying or baking options into areas that you
would not always expect to be available with a charcoal barbecue.
There is a wide grilling area that can still to be used around the outer
rim for grilling when the Gourmet BBQ System Grate accessories are being
used as the total cooking grate area is 2552cm², giving lots of space
for both direct and indirect grilling which is greatly aided by the two
Char-Basket Fuel Holders which are included, which is more than adequate
for a family or friends to enjoy a barbecue at home or wherever the
adventures takes you.
The easy to use Tuck-Away lid holder makes an always available place to
put the lid when it is not in use as the lid slides neatly into the
Tuck-Away lid holder meaning that it will also function as a windshield
and heat deflector when lighting the coals or moving food around on the
grates.
Below the barbecue kettle of the Weber Performer Deluxe GBS Charcoal BBQ
– 57 cm sits the stainless steel One-Touch cleaning system which is
combined with a rust-proof removable ash catcher to make the barbecue
simple to clean and maintain as well as help prevent burn marks from
ashes blowing onto wooden decking, lawns or patios.
All that is needed is to move the One-Touch Cleaning system handle from
side to side to the three stainless steel blades within the kettle
causing ashes to fall into the ash catcher below the kettle which can
taken out by lifting and sliding to one side to when the ashes and
embers have cooled down then. When emptied simply reverse the procedure
to return the ash catcher to it’s resting place.
Underneath the work surface of the Weber Performer Deluxe GBS Charcoal
BBQ – 57 cm there is a handy stainless steel wire shelf for keeping
utensils, coals and accessories to hand when grilling as well as all
weather wheels with kettle covers so the barbecue can be easily moved
around to the best location for grilling . Utensils and accessories can
also be kept in easy reach when grilling using the 3 tool holders
integrated into the front of the large painted metal work surface.
Also sitting underneath the work surface is the weatherproof Char-Bin
which is a real bonus as it has a whole host of functions as storage for
charcoal or briquettes, a litter bin, a general storage space or fill it
with ice to keep drinks cold.
The kettle lid of the Weber Performer Deluxe GBS Charcoal BBQ – 57 cm ,
which should be kept in place whenever the barbecue is in use to make
sure of the optimum grilling conditions, has a weather-proof handle with
protective heat shield as well as lid mounted thermometer and a
rust-proof aluminium vent to regulates air flow and temperature under
the lid for dependable grilling results whenever the barbecue is fired
up.
The way the Weber Performer Deluxe GBS Charcoal BBQ – 57 cm – is
constructed is exactly would be expected from a Weber Charcoal grill as
the lid and bowl are made from high quality American steel with a
porcelain enamelled coating, a powder coating which is fired onto the
steel at approx 800°C to give a shiny black coating which is sturdy
enough to cope with anything the elements can throw at it making the
enjoyment of barbecuing a realistic proposition throughout the year.
In order to make sure the optimum grilling results are achieved from the
Weber Performer Deluxe GBS Charcoal BBQ – 57 cm every time Weber produce
a diverse range of accessories to help both widen and simplify the
grilling experience with well designed and easy to use accessories from
basics such as briquettes, utensils, cleaning brushes and gas canisters
for the ignition all the way to the specially designed wok, griddle,
sear grate, poultry roaster and pizza stone accessories to be used in
it’s Gourmet BBQ System Cooking Grate.
