It is 18.5" Gold version. Looking through my old Amazon orders I bought it April 21, 2004 at a price of $119.64
And the gas start is awesome (especially when used WITH a chimney starter).

I actually owned a Weber Performer (!) for some time, but I couldn't seem to get the drift of maintaining temperature very well. My dad's coming to shishkabob some stuff, so he'll show me.

I always thought they looked tacky, but that's just me.
Black > all : D
Get a Big Green Egg. For most part a large egg is enough but if you are going to have parties with more than 8 people all summer long then get the XL.
Weber kettles are great. I have 3. 22.5, 18.5 and smokey joe (all cheapest versions mostly for the fact that they are more portable, I like it that way).
I can't/couldn't justify getting more expensive versions as the lower bucket seems worthless to me and side table as well. Both also go against portability.
I can take the legs off the pack all 3 grills to go (which we do a lot).
I don't use my gas grill at all.....
nice...are those real grass? they look too good and glossy to be real. If they are fake, what brand is that?
