As the title states, my Uncle decided to get rid of his copper Weber Performer that he barely used, and got from someone else for free!
Cleaned her up, replaced the rusted out vent covers, and bought a new charcoal and top grate. I also have a cover on the way.
Any advice for starting out in the Weber Kettle/charcoal grilling world? I have in the past cooked with charcoal and cheap Walmart grills, but I don’t think I knew what I was doing, so this time around, I want to do it the right way.
Thanks!

Congrats. If you want to power level and become a master with that pit, thermometers and notes. Write down what you did, why and how as much as possible. Make changes based on your past notes. And use thermometers. Sure you can develop the feel for certain cuts, under certain conditions and after a long while get pretty close. Or you can just use a thermometer to know now.
How fun and exciting for you and your family. The weekends can be you sitting in the backyard drinking and making dinner for everyone. Yay!
Chimney would be my first move, even with the propane. Watch some video’s on snake method, get a bag of wood chunks to subsidize the charcoal, and freaking enjoy!!! I love my performer
