Key Performer Premium elements make cooking simple and versatile. The porcelain‑enamel bowl and lid hold heat for even results, while the GBS hinged grate lets you add fuel without removing the grill. The removable digital timer takes the guesswork out of long roasts and low‑and‑slow cooks.

Gourmet BBQ System flexibility

Designed as a stable outdoor workstation, the kettle sits on a heavy‑duty cart with a painted metal work table and lower storage. Swivel locking casters and robust wheels make it straightforward to move and lock in place when needed.

Fuel & setup

The Performer Premium runs on charcoal and includes two Char‑Baskets for controlled fuel placement. Use the ash catcher and One‑Touch cleaning system to clear spent ash quickly. The lid thermometer and smoke/low‑and‑slow vent setting help maintain consistent temps for smoking and roasting.
