Offering the best of Weber® charcoal barbecuing, the Performer® GBS® 57cm (formerly known as the Weber® Performer® Original GBS®) includes all the features synonymous with Weber®’s higher-spec kettle barbecues but integrated into a sturdy, functional cart with a superb fold-down steel table rather than sat on the more traditional three-legged stand.
Ideal for small outdoor parties or cooking for the family the Weber® Performer® GBS® 57cm is a perfect all-round barbecue suitable for both direct and indirect grilling and suitable for everyone regardless of level of barbecuing ability.
As with all Weber® kettles, 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 Performer® GBS® 57cm 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® GBS® 57cm 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.
Like its big brother, the Weber® Performer® Deluxe Gourmet GBS® 57cm, the Performer® GBS® 57cm offers an impressive 2552cm² cooking area and comes with the more superior Gourmet BBQ System® grate.
Besides a hinged fold-down steel work surface (handy for those with limited storage space) the sturdy cart offers three convenient tool holders at the front and a handy stainless steel wire shelf at the bottom adding extra rigidity to the unit as well as offer good storage space for food, charcoal and accessories.
