    Get rid of that lighter fluid and get a starter chimney

    Very good grill but not a smoker. Still can make ribs on it but start in the oven. If you can get some steaks and vegetables maybe some seafood and grill it all up hot and fast. Enjoy it man that’s a sick setup

    Don’t you dare use that lighter fluid poison in your brand new grill. Get a chimney and some tumbleweed/snakenest natural starters.

    Those work amazing with charcoal lump mesquite and use cooking oil to start your fire properly

    I see you’ve got some kinders seasoning there. They have one called cowboy butter that I recommend

    Return the fluid and replace with a chimney or electric starter to avoid messing up the flavor. Everything else 10/10 no notes.

    You need a bigger jug of lighter fluid

    Cooking with ry on you tube has some awesome kettle videos.

    The original point of the performer was the taste of charcoal with the convenience of quick propane ignition. Kinda turned into the classic Weber kettle with a great side table when that feature faded away. Some have the charcoal bin underneath, nice grill.

    Real grillers don’t use compressed coal dust.

    Thats an awesome setup man, Weber grills are solid. Youre gonna be living outside all weekend with that thing. Can already smell the ribs from here

    This woman is investing in you. Get a ring.

    40 lbs of ribs on a new kettle? That’s pretty ambitious! Depending on how you prep them St. Louis ribs take me 4 hours and baby backs about 3, I have a Kamado, but for ribs should be similar times for your setup.

    My wife bought me one of these 15 years ago for fathers Day fornour 1sr born. I bought another one this past summer and will use it when the first one gets to its end.
    Amazing, bbq!!
    And yes, when I started, I used lightef fluid. It’s not going to poison anything. You do you, get your feel for bbqing and grow from there!!

    Happy birthday! What a great present. Weber’s are my favorite type of grill. You can do so much with them. Enjoy and give your girl a kiss!

    She got you a Performer? Nice. She’s pressing hard for the girl to wife status. 💍

    MARRY THAT WOMAN IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY!!

    Return the pellets and lighter fluid and get a charcoal chimney and some chimney starters.

    Edit- get some propane cylinders the performer.

    Lighter fluid was for the engagement 🥵

    This Weber is the Performer Deluxe, which includes the propane igniter. I just omitted the propane cuz it’s an old tank from camp.

    thanks for all the tips tho! Took longer to build than expected… will post pics of ribs next 🤭
