I found a Weber Deluxe Performer from Crate and Barrel for $125, including the cover. Sounds like a great deal right?

My wife stumbled stumbled upon a barely used Performer Deluxe from someone on Facebook yard sale. $160. Bought it and love it. Absolutely LOVE the prep table but I quite honestly think that the propane assist is just a novelty. Hardly worth the high price tag of buying it new. My weber chimney does the job faster and more efficiently.

yeah that's the conclusion I have come to as well. I like all of the other features enough that I'd buy it again though! I ran out of propane a few months back and bought some Weber grill lights cubes instead (because I am lazy and if I can order it on the internet instead of going to the store to get it, I will).

I love the propane starter. I thought I would think of it as a novelty but I think its more convenient than the cubes. You just have to watch for sales on the small propane cylinders like you would charcoal. I just got two for 2 tanks $10. That will last me longer than $10 worth of cubes.

Just throwing this out there in case you didn't know- Amazon sells the 24-count packs of cubes for $3 and change (+free shipping) as an add-on when you're making other purchases $35 or more. That's what I do. Usually I get a box or two every time I make another purchase.
Also, use a paring knife and slice the cubes in half up & down (making L & R halves) and they will still start a chimney full. Double the usage=half the price!

I have a 18 year old Weber Performer (first gen I believe) and love the propane tank for starting. A couple of years ago I started using the chimney on top of the gas flame. 3-5 minutes of gas, then wait for charcoal to ash over. I think I've only had to fill the small tank 5 or 6 times ever cause I don't run it for very long. Problem is that the tank is now too old to refill. I convinced someone to do it anyway last summer, but now I need a replacement. Can't find a replacement tank that includes the hand hold to fit back in my Gen 1 Performer. All the small tanks I found won't fit in the built in cradle. Anyone have a source?
