.I'll choose for you! And being the good helper that I am...I will let you know which one you like best!

What a guy!! That's why I love this forum. So many helpful people here How could Jim possibly turn down such a generous and selfless offer?

I'm sure Ryan will even give you the SMF member price break on labor and shipping.

I have the 22" performer with the roto, vortex and baskets. If I was looking now and paying full retail, I would do what Chris said and get the 26" and add my own side table. I stole my 22 on a closeout for under $200 but sure would love the real estate of a 26 though.

I have both the 22” and 26”. Like someone else said. If I were you I’d get the 26” and build a table or get one if that’s what your looking for. I have an old bar stool I pull out with them and use that as a table to set my stuff on. The 26” is a monster compared to the 22”. It’s a bit taller too which would be good for you it sounds like.

Well I bought a JJ and for 2 people it uses a lot less charcoal for a few steaks, also travels better than my performer, Have hauled the performer a lot of places but bought a cover for my truck and don't want to lay it down . I like having choices lol

Mike, what is a JJ?

Mike, what is a JJ?

I'm guessing a Weber jumbo Joe. Big brother to the smokey Joe.

 

[mike243]

Yep Jumbo Joe, bought some tumble weeds to try also after the Weber dud's lol

thanks for that info, Steve and Mike!

I have 2 original performers and one newer style. Wish I could get my hands on an original cover again!

I think their covers are overpriced. And not the best quality. I bought this from Amazon.

​

Very good quality cover. Though I got it at 20% off then.

I totally agree that Jim needs a Performer. His world will not be complete without it.

 

[olecrosseyes]

@Steve H That is not the original performer. They were very heavy and only shrank some over several years. I agree that the newer covers are a pos.

Here is a pic of the 2 original performers, I had a red one and now 2 green ones. The table tops are stainless and the door flips up to reach the gas valve and the storage bin.
