Weber Performer Deluxe Slate Blue Review and Tri Tip Reverse Sear 

Thanks, I love it!

Thank you!

Hope you enjoy it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I was surprised at the boxing as well...I picked mine up at Crate and Barrel. Luckily I have a big truck haha

Welcome to the club! My first was a new to me performer off Craig's List, now I have 11 Webers haha. Enjoy!

@@bbqguy8752 just a few huh! Lol 😆

Ja boi troi! Lol

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the sub!

Takes a little practice but once you get it dialed you'll never go back. Read about the snake method and look into getting a Slow n Sear. I haven't touched my gas grill in over 2 years haha. Good luck!

Thanks!

The point I was making is that a timer is irrelevant on a grill. You cook/smoke to temp and feel, not time. A thermo would of been a much better idea in that space than a timer. Thanks for the comment, keep it meaty!!

True dat!

I've heard that a lot haha! Someone sent me a nice pic that shows me the how to

You can't go wrong with a Weber but there is a learning curve. You will want a Slow n Sear basket for indirect heat cooking/smoking. The beauty of the Weber is you can use it for direct heat cooking (steaks, burgers, fish) or you can use it for indirect (ribs, pork butt, etc.). It's not quite big enough to smoke a full packer brisket though. I think everyone should have a Weber Kettle in their arsenal. The MB 800 is an easy to use "set it and forget" for the most part but has some reliability issues. It sure does put out a nice flavor. Be sure to get the cover if you do buy one, the electronics seem to crap out pretty easily and the lid switches melt pretty easily. Depending on budget, a great first time smoker would be a Reqtec, Traeger or Pit Boss pellet grill. Good luck!

Look up Slow n Sear for Weber 22” on Amazon...I use it quite often!

@@bbqguy8752 thanks!

It took about 45 mins to reach 100 IT, I'll remember to post timing on my next videos...great idea! Thx

I want thin blue smoke, not billowing smoke. That’s how you get the best flavor. If you get the wood red hot, you get that thin blue smoke. You can still ad wood as needed for longer cooks. But this method works great for me!

@@bbqguy8752 Nice one - definitely gonna give that a go on my next cook. 👍🏼

It's very simple. I like to put my chimney over the igniter and then you just push the ignite button. I come back 10 mins later and all my coals are nice and hot :)

Thx for the pro tip! Never had a problem with my 11 other Webers...still alive and kicking and eating amazing bbq. But thanks again!!

The Mad Swine Backyard Barbeque yeah bro, I never slice my tri tip the right way, people tell me all the time haha! I’ve gotta try it the “correct” way sometime

@@bbqguy8752 🤣 That's what extreme hunger can do to you! I've been there!

@@madswinebbq no doubt haha!

Good idea, I'll have to give that a shot!

I have 11 now :)

@@bbqguy8752 My wife thinks that I am nuts, what do you do with 11?

@@Moondoggy1941 Grill amazing food of course haha! Each of them are for something different (that's how I justify it). One is set up for my rotisserie, one is set up with the pizza Q, one is for hot an fast, one is for low and slow, one is a 1972 brown mist that has never been used, one is my travel grill, one is a rotisserie travel grill, the rest just look really cool lol! I'm a novice collector, I know guys that have over 30!!

_siskooo_ Frank crate and barrel only ones that carry this color

It's the I-BBQ4T has WiFi, which works best for me...I like to monitor from anywhere and the BT doesn't let me do that. Good luck!

I like the WiFi better personally. My grills are pretty far from the kitchen so I would be out of bluetooth range when I was going back and forth. I think both are great, but consider if you will have range issues with either you WiFi or bluetooth depending on how far your grills are from you phone or router. Happy grilling!

Some people use the auto light to light the chimney. Honestly, I just used fire cubes. I never hooked the propane up

It usually last me 20-30 cooks, I only burn it for around 4-5 mins to get the charcoal rolling

soon!

Try using Weber briquettes....it's really not set up for lump unless you use a Slow N Sear or a Vortex.

@@bbqguy8752 well had they not advertised you can use lump I never would have bought it. It's gone now. Bought a real grill for lump, Masterbuilt 560. Best grill I've owned in 20yrs.

@@xwoods9625 Nice! I have have 11 grills and they all serve a diff purpose. I use lump in my stick burner and my WSCG, love the flavor lump gives! Have you tried pressed coconut charcoal?

Well, then it wouldn’t be a REVERSE sear haha
