Default Should I get a new weber performer

I got 275.00 in HD gift cards, that we were gonna use to stain the fence, but I talked the wife out of doing it because it looks like a PITA. So, HD has a new black performer for sale for 327.00. I already have a 22.5 " black kettle that i have the side table for and the lid holder. But it just looks so lonely sittin there on the shelf at HD. She said I could get it instead if I wanted it. Im getting the rotiss ring and eventually the rib-o-lator for Christmas, and thinking it would look great on a new performer and probably a little safer lol. What do yall think?

Seems like you've already got the approval from the most important person already. Go for it.

The Performer is a great grill!

Did you really think anyone here would tell you go to stain the fence?

Why is this a question in your head? Plus your wife gave her blessing.
Go for it now. You shouldn't even be sitting at your computer looking at this thread. you should be on your way to HD.

I voted, "You dont need it.. save your money." Get a 22.5" WSM instead.

Im usin the fence stainin money for the performer if I get it lol. She thought you only had to stain it once and it was good for life. I showed her one coming home that was gettin pretty raggedy and she changed her mind lol. I told her its just a fence to hide all my cookers in the back yard. It dont need to be pretty.

Step away from the computer and get your arse to HD before the better half changes her mind.

More sage advice - hoping that green dot means you've already left the house and left the browser up!
