Weber Performer Deluxe BBQ Grill Unboxing & Assembling ~ Amy Learns to Cook

[@baku821]

One of the best instruction vids ever seen. I loved every minute!

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Not easy to do on an instructional video.

[@ThePittEngineer]

"This is a 2 beer project" You speak my language Eric!

[@LesPaul-MorePaul]

I put mine together today. Great tutorial, made it even easier when it came to assembly. Can't wait to use it!

[@bionicman71]

I just got mine on thursday in the mail and needed this video to have an idea of what to do..thank you for doing this

[@optics6640]

Just assembled mine. I watched your video and didn't even have to read the instructions. Thanks for the video.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Thank you for the comment. Glad you found the video useful. This wasn't hard to assemble, just a few things to lookout for. Hope your beer didn't run out before you finished. :-)

[@MUFCXI]

I’m going to pick one up but need to know if it’s easy to take apart? Biggest thing is it easy to remove the wheels? That center hubcap is it easy to take off?

[@anneconnor6195]

There is a basket on the outside bottom of the bowl. I can't get it to fit

[@UR4ME323]

Just got mine today as a retirement gift. Can't wait to put it together.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Congratulations on your retirement and your gift. Based on the many reviews out there (and my personal experience), I'm sure you'll love this. Not difficult to assemble.

[@budgetbeach]

Thank you for this video, been putting off putting the grill together, this video HELPS a LOT.....

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Glad it helped!

[@e36s54]

There's a small chain with what looks like a very wide paper clip (5" or so) attached. What is it for?

[@EricLearnstoCook]

I think that's for the storage container (where you can store a bag of briquettes).

[@scottsmith2971]

I just put mine together. Super easy because Weber does such a great job.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

It actually fits very well. Instructions weren't too bad.

[@TressasSouthernHomeCooking]

Love the grill, Eric!! Good video with good instruction. Amy is super sweet for thinking of you!!

[@EricLearnstoCook]

+Tressa Daigle Thanks Tressa! Amy is super sweet alright.....but.....she'd be more super sweeter if I got one of them Weber "Grills of a lifetime". hint...hint...hint.... :-) I do like the Performer. I even let Amy light it once this week. Yes, Amy lit charcoal. but she used the gas assist. That works very well. The weather is scheduled to be horrible this weekend, so you know that means I'll be out there grilling! I'll see if I can get it filmed. Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate it.

[@kendrascheller8669]

Thanks, for the help. You and I put one together in my living room this afternoon. I'm pretty sure my husband thinks he has to put it together when he gets home. :P

[@EricLearnstoCook]

You're so welcome! I'm glad I could help. I'm happy you can surprise him. Thank you for watching and letting me know that it was helpful. :-)

[@dougharlow6037]

I just recieved my Weber 22 in. Performer Deluxe Charcoal Grill in Green about an hour ago. I put it together but, what's that long chain that hangs from the inside for? Thanks

[@Lee62bt]

Maybe it was just me. But I kind of struggled with the assembly of my grill. Your video helped.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Glad I could help. Thanks for watching.

[@ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood]

Can't wait unti you get some food grilling on that. Have a great Birthday!!

[@EricLearnstoCook]

+Chef John Politte (It's Only Food) Thanks for watching Chef. I appreciate it. Let's just way it was a very long day that started late. We grilled some pineapple slices, some chicken with a rub and a dark rum glaze, and corn on cob. Ran out of light, so we brought a light out and kept filming. Finally got it all done. Amy will likely get some edited soon so we can get it up and share it out. Thanks for your interest, we certainly appreciate it. :-)

[@keithwhite8109]

Where does the chain ⛓️ hookup go?

[@jwill9877]

Just bought this grill and the holes on the side tubes do not line up with the holes in the side panels or the actual grill. I can believe a 500 grill was sent out to me with a Manufacturing defect.

[@jotero93]

i have the same issue, how did you fix?

[@jwill9877]

@@jotero93 I returned it and they sent out a replacement. That had the right sides but no mounting hardware. So I went to hardware store and just bought the right stuff. It's my favorite grill I own. I smoke and bbq on it. I have not used my smoker in almost a year. It was a headache to get the thing operational and they need to get their act together

[@RayMacksKitchenandGrill]

Eric that's a nice grill...let the grilling begin.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

+Ray Mack's Kitchen and Grill Thanks for watching. If the weather ever cooperates, we'll get something on film. Cold, wet weather is still good enough for rib eyes and chicken!

[@EricLearnstoCook]

+Ray Mack's Kitchen and Grill We grilled some pineapple slices, corn on the cob and chicken with a dark rum glaze. Amy then did her lime cilantro rice. all good. but tired. started a little late. Hope to have edited and up in the next few days. Hope you like it.

[@dianedonaldson9144]

we couldn't get our charcoal bin installed and I watched the video to see how you did that, saw it attached at end but never saw it being attached, do you have video of that? No real instructions with the grill.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

The video would have been 2 hours long if I showed every detail of installing, including me scratching my head. I pointed out the more trickier things. I don't recall the bin being difficult or I would have specified how to install it. I'm not sure where the manual is. I can take a look at it and take some close up pics of where it connects to show where things are. If that's helpful, I can send those to your gmail account if you have one linked to your username. I hope that will work for you.

[@yessilopez902]

Best grill ever.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Sweet!!!!!!!!!

[@javiergaona3208]

I'm working for Tu Weber un paint this grills..you grill is my favorites...

[@ApsLifeMember]

I have to admit I really enjoyed your video and I just ordered this grill. Thanks for your helpful hints (I think it's a 3 beer I'm 66 ys old)

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Hope you've had a chance to get it (and put it together). I'd agree with 3 beers. LOL.

[@dashferlev7848]

THANK YOU. The manual was so confusing!

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

I am glad that it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@michelespaid593]

It's been a while! So glad to see you are still around

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Thank you. I appreciate those kind words. Glad to hear them.

[@austin_tremblay]

Fantastic and helpful video. Do y’all ever use lump charcoal with this grill? I’m interested in the grill but also trying to move to lump charcoal instead of briquettes.

[@changopachango]

Modelo beer? Good choice

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Thank you!

[@kamilkliza]

Show how te grill looks after this 8year 😊 .

[@TheGarylward]

The instructions were pretty good. Didn't really need much help, accept for when it came to installing the ash catcher. And of course that is the only part you did not touch on. Maybe I have a different grill. It is the weber performer.

[@timojaaskelainen9755]

Thank you for this vid👍

[@EricLearnstoCook]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@Lee62bt]

Thumbs up for the beer comment. At first I thought you were going to get in trouble with your wife for putting your grill together on the carpet. I still would catch it if I put together on top of the boxes. Thinking about getting this grill too. Already have a Weber Smokey Mountain 22 1/2. Weber just makes a good product and they have good customer service.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

You are 100% right. I kept the 'food' parts like the grill off the carpet. No telling what is living in the carpet that you would then need to sanitize the grill. But then, what can tolerate 1000 degrees with a bag of glowing charcoal?

[@kamilkliza]

Show how te grill looks after this 8year

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

After 8 years it still works fine. Yeah, it is definitely not as pretty as when it was new! Thanks for watching!

[@wattsong762]

great video buddy

[@robbieklein6162]

Dude, hilarious and helpful video--- you skipped over multipole key steps like hooking up the electronics

[@olgakubasova2330]

Good day!i lookin for information about weight of parts of grill)maybe you help me!i need to separate parts of grill on two box,about 48 pounds each box.please help me ,i’m Sure you know of it possible!Thank you very very mutch !!!

[@javiergaona3208]

I'm painting the products..tanks

[@JohnWMacDonald]

Hilarious build commentary!

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Thanks John. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@paulahelms4380]

Great video! Thank you, just ordered one from Amazon, being delivered tonight for my boyfriend as a Father's Day gift. Your video should make the installation much smoother.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

:) :) :) :) Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it and/or found it useful. The installation was not bad. Time consuming yes. Had all the parts and they reasonably made sense. The gas ignite system works good too. I haven't used a chimney since I got this thing. Hope your hubby likes it and thanks for watching and commeting!

[@ermita4life909]

Why u wearing an apron

[@joshuafortuna6669]

Why’d you wear a apron to put your kettle together? 😂

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

It covers up the gut. Thanks for watching!

[@THATBOYDAVE24]

the 2 beer project is that on a scale of 1-10 or what? lol

[@EricLearnstoCook]

No, that's my standard charge. If Amy wants me to do something, I should be able to charge her for a beer. Because of these instructions, I added an exta beer. Call it my labor charge, if you will. Not too difficult as I completed it without any bandages and profanities. Glad you enjoyed. LOL!

[@MrDoug527]

The charcoal containers are in there wrong which mean top grate is also. They run parallel to the burner…Good try though.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

You're saying that between 12:30 and 13:00 where I have those charcoal containers showing, I put them in wrong? And because they must be parallell to the top grate, or else they won't work? Really? LOL! I'm glad my burgers and hot dogs don't care. Thanks for watching.

[@KevinBragdon]

Sounds like a six pack project. Nice job. Smoke a brisket. 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@EricLearnstoCook]

+Kevin Bragdon Could have used a few more beers, that's for sure. Brisket? On a kettle grill? I'm not that good. I'd likely put that on my WSM or my Backwoods smoker. We did corn on the cob, pineapple and chicken (with a dark rum glaze) today. so I'm a little tired due to late start (and filming always takes at least 4x longer than just cooking something without a camera). Thanks for watching.

[@alexmallo4334]

This guy should not be playing with fire

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Well he worked on nuclear reactors in the military so he knows a little about heat and fire.

[@laurafedora5385]

You skipped the one step I’m stuck on

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

What is the step?

[@Gmork127]

For dry, red eyes.

[@billybothered2846]

So dead pan it's hilarious. I presume it's meant to be funny!?

[@EricLearnstoCook]

Maybe?

[@chrisjcrash5]

Unboxing is lacking. Why do I care? Because I am moving and I am trying to figure out how to pack everything inside the box. THIS DID NOT HELP. If your title has "unboxing" in it then show the whole unboxing.

[@EricLearnstoCook]

There was 4 minutes of unboxing between 2 minute and 6 minute mark, so your claim was not 100% accurate. Obviously all the small stuff fits in the small box and the larger items were protected elsewise. With such a large item, a detailed unboxing on the large parts was not necessary. Most people appreciated the assembly. You will do your teardown in opposite order (just read the manual, if you still have it). You saw how everything was laid out. Just do it in reverse. Unless space is really a premium, I'd suggest you keep it intact and fill the voids with bedding material or coats (you got to put them somewhere anyways). Just put them in plastic bags and then put this thing in a large box, or create a box for it. Not worth the effort to dismantle and then reassemble. Good luck with the move.
