6 Reasons For for Choosing the Weber Performer Deluxe

Some barbecues have an adjustable thermostat that can be altered, to change the heat up or down.

Cool touch handles mean that the BBQ is far easier to move around and handle, and there is less of a chance of you accidentally burning yourself on hot metal. Which hurts. A lot.
