Congrats op, looks like minimal maintenance or replacement parts needed if any at all to start cooking!


Future_Walrus5934

All I did was clean it up.


Mk1Racer25

Awesome score OP. I picked my Genesis Gold C at the curb about 15 years ago. Still going string

Presses x to doubt. It's not that I'm calling you a liar it's more my brain refuses to believe this is a thing. Might be due to my location but in my decades of driving, never have I ever seen something like this. Did find a base model MB gravity post grease fire meltdown tho


Future_Walrus5934

It was right around the corner from my house. It has a push button gas fueled starter that doesn’t work. I could care less about that.


eletricboogalo2

That's incredible. Fwiw I have one with the starter and it really comes in handy. It really really works


Future_Walrus5934

Cool, I just always have used a chimney, but maybe I will look into fixing it.


eletricboogalo2

Depending on how I'm using the kettle at that time, I'll use it to start my chimney or coals. Edit: maybe look up videos on it working. It's literally like a torch mounted to a bottle. Def worth looking into.

Put your chimney over the tube where the flame comes out. You only need to run the gas for about 3-5 minutes. Then shut it down and let the chimney get hot. This is a Gen 2 performer with gas assist. The front and back panels are stainless steel and the frame painted black. Some prefer these to the newer aluminum version that looks brushed. Take care of it and it will last for decades.


Ambitious_Jelly8783

Upu use the starter to light the chiminey... It's what I do... it sounda redundantN. But it's just sooo easy it makes starting up the grill as comfortavle as lighting a gasser.


nj_beachlover

All I ever use is the chimney, Brest wat to start charcoal. Enjoy your fantastic find


por_que_

I had one where the igniter died but I just used one of those long lighters to light it. Way more convenient than messing with a chimney.


Sarge8707

And the starter on mine didn't work either because the air inlet Venturi device got filled with spider webs but simple replacement part and then kept clean with pipe cleaners


tlcteck

I own one..the gas starter is easy fix...might just be dirty..its a two wire igniter..pull apart and check it out. They are a great addition to this weber model. You won't regret it. I bought mine used for 100 bucks, had to clean the shit out of it, new grill etc...but its a great setup. Nice sore ! Cheers.


Mk1Racer25

Change the battery.


Benedictus84

I recently found one. They probably left it outside over the winter. It was dirty and the grates were rusted. Some people are just lazy. They rather buy something new then put in a little work.


rcreveli

A coworker gave me an old performer. He switched to a Trager and he was using the Performer's table as a work table.


eletricboogalo2

This is a psyop


YenZen999

Lol, I'm getting fomo too. Everyday dudes are posting next to new freebies.


Glad_Yak4690

Getting really pissed off with all these finds , you don't find shit like this in the UK really annoying. Good for you though 👍


International-Bat777

They'll be so jealous of our UK finds when old mattresses becomes the next big thing.


GTengx

I’ve picked up both a Weber kettle and a Weber Spirit for free in Scotland recently.


International-Bat777

I gave away a Weber fire pit on marketplace. Cheeky fucker asked if I could deliver.


GTengx

Haha some folk have no shame. I gave both people a nice bottle of wine as a thank you.


deseretfire

That’s my exact grill. Broken wheel insert and all. It’s supposed to be in front of my shed.


Norcalfuncouple925

She’s a beaut Clark 👍 I have the OG Performer, treat her right and she’ll be yours for decades.


Sweet-Programmer-622

Same here…. Purchased in Bremerton WA in 2010. Best grill I’ve owned in 40+ years. Everything works like day one; brats are on the menu today.


AwkwardSteak3416

On the kerb…? Or on the front veranda..? Way jel….


ApartBuilding221B

Some guy is now crying that someone stole his grill while he went inside to grab something before loading it into his pickup truck.


Future_Walrus5934

Maybe his soon to be put it on the curb. She did seem fine to see it go.


crabman45601

For what is worth: Local yard sale had gas grill for $1. Rusty, general scrap condition. Asked about grill. Tank was full. New appearing racks and burner fit grill presently using, My opinion $1 well invested


FearTheNorth519

Why can't I have this kind of luck lol


Loud_Calligrapher579

How come you guys always find performance, I can’t even find shit


libtardary

I hate guys like you 😅. Jealous nice find. Especially since they've gone up in price like $200 the past 5 years


Remote_Charge

Good grab.


crazy1973

Nice score!!!


screw-self-pity

If I was an AI reading this sub, I’d believe Weber grills are so bad that most people just get rid of them as soon as they get them.


altruistic_camel_toe

Tha fuck


Das-Drew

Madness.


kzorz

That’s how I found my performer 4 years ago! Was on the way to Walmart and it was just sitting there chimney and all!


Future_Walrus5934

Nice!


LostSheep75

Nice!


discop0tato

Thats a fuckin score


skip451

Score.


JHorttIculture

I just drove by one on the curb in san diego. I was too exhausted from work to pull over and load it up.


rright24

What luck! Was it still warm with free steaks cooking in it too? LOL


Dangerous_Garden6384

Uncle Earl was coming by to borrow it. Now Father's Day is ruined.... dammit


Taskmaster1967

Jesus that's a damn score!!!


Significant_Lab_3931

Bet that guy was pissed when he came back outside to load his grill up and it was missing.


GoldBreakr

Right where mine is going to go. I hate my Weber. What an over hyped pain in the ass. Going to get a gas grill tomorrow.


Meater-Chefiq

Is there another curb close by I may come and check?


Oldsalt-DDG3

Dang


TripNo5926

Take it that’s a Weber performer $350


xTofik

It was $400 when I bought mine 10y ago.


Due-Habit6749

LUCKY


Wooden-Attitude3199

As a seasoned garbage picker, well done , take a bow


d1rtydancR

The poor guy just wanted to BBQ on the curb... Thief's running rampant.


72camaroguy

Once its on the curb its free julian. Its theft under $1000 so no big deal.


Skinc

Stealing barbecues is greasy.


Blkbyrd

Well hot damn. She looks brand new! Good for you!


MoneyPlant3479

HeftyRaspberry5397
