Introduced in 2013, the Weber® Performer® Deluxe Gourmet GBS® can only be described as the ‘ultimate’ charcoal barbecue.
With all the best features of the high-spec Master-Touch® – including a stainless steel Gourmet BBQ System® (GBS®) grate, the Weber® Performer® Deluxe manages to offer even more with additional features including a gas ignition system, backlit LCD cooking timer, painted metal work surface, 3 tool holders and a versatile multi-functional cart.
Starting with the kettle itself, the bowl and lid are fully porcelain-enamelled to ensure protection against fire, rust and the elements and are all made to last which is why Weber® confidently offer a 10-year warranty on them.
In addition to a weather-proof handle with protective heat shield the Weber® Performer® Deluxe lid also contains an integrated thermometer and a rust-proof aluminium vent to control temperature and air flow for perfect barbecuing.
Set deep into the cart, the bowl of the Performer® Deluxe is fitted with a Tuck-Away lid holder which acts as both a convenient rack to retain the lid as you tend to your food and a handy windbreak.  At the base of the bowl Weber® include the advanced stainless steel One-Touch® cleaning system and removable ash catcher to make cleaning and maintenance of the kettle even easier and more effective.
Simply by sliding the lever protruding from the One-Touch® cleaning system three angled blades attached internally to the base of the kettle rotate to ‘sweep’ the ash through the drainage holes into the rust-proof removable ash catching bucket saving time and preventing mess.
Internally, the 57cm kettle comes with a genius stainless steel Gourmet BBQ System® grate as standard which has a removable 30cm centrepiece to allow you to attach a number of compatible accessories including a Dutch Oven, wok, pizza stone and griddle (all sold separately) offering you no end of cooking possibilities.
Besides the versatility the 57cm Gourmet BBQ System® grate offers, it also has an impressive 2552cm² total cooking area which is more than sufficient for a family or group of friends to enjoy a hassle-free garden party or all-year round alfresco get-together.
In addition to a generous 65x52cm (3380cm²) painted metal work surface the Weber® Performer® Deluxe Gourmet GBS® cart is bursting with all kinds of features to make your barbecuing experience easy and hassle-free.
Three tool holders on the front of the cart sit adjacent to a hinged control panel which houses a removable LCD cook timer and lifts to reveal the gas ignition switch and gas bottle housing.
Underneath the work surface is a convenient weatherproof CharBin for quick and hygienic disposal of waste material to prevent litter falling onto the ground or blowing around the garden.
For ease of portability the Performer® Deluxe has two logoed all-weather wheels under the kettle and two locking castors at the opposite end under the CharBin. A full-length stainless steel wire shelf just above the wheels adds extra rigidity to the unit as well as offering good storage space for food, charcoal and accessories.
Included with the Weber® Performer® Deluxe Gourmet GBS® are two Char-Basket fuel holders (useful to help position charcoal in the kettle for greater control during direct or indirect grilling) as well as one large disposable drip tray.
Also, the Performer® Deluxe comes with a useful charcoal measuring cup which will help keep the amount of briquettes used consistent and in-turn the temperature controlled, meaning perfectly cooked food every time!
The Weber® Performer® Deluxe Gourmet GBS® barbecue is a fantastic unit for everyone, particularly those wanting to take their outdoor cooking beyond burgers and sausages and cook using both the direct and indirect methods adding endless possibilities to their cooking repertoire!
As you would expect from a quality brand like Weber® there are a huge range of accessories designed to assist and take your outdoor cooking to the next level from cook books, tools, warming racks, covers right through to flavoured wood chips, so click here to see the full range of Weber® accessories we have to offer.

About Riverside:

The Riverside Garden Centre has been established since 1997 and is owned and run by Russell and Jo Jeffery who take a very hands-on approach to every aspect of the business. They are always on hand to help and give advice.

Having moved away from being a more traditional garden centre over recent years and evolved into a modern outdoor living destination, Riverside now focuses more on quality and style than it ever did before.

LARGEST WEBER® WORLD BBQ SHOWROOM

Officially the UK's largest Weber® World Barbecue showroom Riverside stocks and displays every Weber® barbecue and accessory available from the small, portable charcoal models, the award winning Q™ range as well as the famous charcoal kettles and outstanding gas barbecues. As a World Store Riverside also stocks a number of exclusive barbecues and accessories not found in regular Weber® stores or outlets.

TRAEGER GRILLS

With the popularity of barbecuing and outdoor smoking growing at a phenomenal rate Riverside has become the 'go to' place for Traeger grills, pellets and accessories. Easier to use than a traditional barbecue a Traeger grill controls the cooking temperature for you and produces perfectly smoked food every time.

FURNITURE SHOWROOMS

Riverside likes to do things big and that includes their furniture ranges too.

With three large fully furnished showrooms bursting with big names including 4 Seasons Outdoor and Alexander Rose Riverside again offers the largest displays of both prestige brands anywhere to be seen in the UK. Be it dining, lounge or modular, virtually every product and set is on display and in stock at the Hertfordshire premises.

SILK PLANTS AND ARTIFICIAL WALL COVERING

To complement the furniture and outdoor living themes Riverside also specialise in high quality artificial plants and trees as well as UV protected foliage-covered screening panels. Particularly popular with interior designers, hotel chains and zoos Riverside's silks plants and wall panels have developed a good reputation both corporately and domestically.

Brilliant BBQ. We'd done our research so knew it was the one we wanted. What was best was the service from Riverside. I ordered one morning and the BBQ was delivered before 8am the next. Very impressed.

Decided to go for this rather than the big green egg, I liked the idea of the gas start up. It was easy enough to build and it’s very sturdy. The coal bin is a bit of a wasted space but that’s a minimal thing. Heating it up is hit and miss, with the recent good weather we used it for two days on the bounce, the first day it took about 20 or so minutes to get going, the second time it was about 45 minutes. Maybe I haven’t mastered that yet. It’s a great bbq overall but the only thing that lets it down is the GBS system it uses is pretty expensive, if you spend £600 on a bbq you don’t really fancy spending £100 plus on a pot that sits in the middle ( probably cheaper on line alternatives ) Other than that it’s pretty good so far.

Absolutely brilliant. Easy to use. Easy to clean. Slow cooked a shoulder of lamb beautifully.

The product is great, took a couple of hours (with tea breaks) to put together. Assembly was generally simple but some of the pictures needed careful study to get it right first time. First run firing it up went really well, the lid-on cooking kept the temperature even and under control. I'm very happy with my new Weber.

Great BBQ. Easy to assemble, instructions are clear and user guide is comprehensive. Cooking on this BBQ is really easy. For the price I believe Weber should offer side panels made of stainless steel, improve on the cheap and fiddily timer storage as well as offer bigger rubber castor wheels iso plastic ones.
