Pros

• Touch-N-Go™ Gas Ignition: Eliminates the need for lighter fluid or chimney starters—just push a button and light your coals cleanly and quickly.
• Spacious Work Table: A generous side table makes food prep, seasoning, and tool access simple and convenient.
• CharBin™ Storage: Integrated, weather-protected bin keeps charcoal dry and ready right at the grill.
• Hinged Cooking Grate: Makes it easy to add charcoal during grilling without removing the grate entirely.
• One-Touch™ Cleaning System: Hassle-free ash removal with a high-capacity ash catcher that simplifies post-grill cleanup.

Cons

• Requires Propane Canister: The ignition system needs a small propane cylinder (sold separately), adding another consumable to manage.
• Bulky Design: While feature-rich, the grill has a larger footprint that may not suit compact spaces.
• Manual Temp Control: Like all charcoal grills, precise temperature management takes some practice.
• No Built-in Timer (unlike the Performer Premium): While it has more power features, the Deluxe lacks the dedicated removable timer of the Premium model.
• Takes Time to Cool Down: Thick construction retains heat, which can slow post-grill handling or cleanup if you’re in a hurry.
