Has the quality of this grill (i.e. the regulator) improved? Does it still come with the accessory inserts??

I actually bought this for my Brother in Law...he has had no issues with the regulator. Yes all the inserts come with it, it was well packed and a heavy duty piece. So far its a great grill.

When i bought this grill at Home Depot it did not come with the accessory inserts. This is probably something the company did to make up for the faulty functinality of the grill....to gain their customers back. We had to buy them seperately. Stay away from this grill. Not only was the model faulty, even more importantly they did not stand by their product and make things right. Buy a Ducane instead. Lowes has a good entry level one for about $300. Def the best grill we have purchased for this medium pricepoint.

I have had my STOK for approaching 6 months now and cook on it regularly for long periods (even in the winter in Illinois). I have yet to experience any issues with gas leaks because of a faulty regulator, but still shut off the LP when I'm done cooking (which is just good practice). Mine came with the inserts and I purchased a few extras at the same time. I would also recommend the STOK cover along with the grill. Overall I absolutely LOVE my Quattro and have full confidence you will too.

The performance of this grill has been amazing. It gets hot quick! no issues with the regulator. You have to be careful about the accessory inserts. It seems that some places sell a version without them which is cheaper than the one that has them. I think it is worth it since you can cook any meal on your grill!

I've had mine for 2 months now, grilling 3 or more times a week, no complaints whatsoever. The pizza stone insert and veggie pan with handle came with the grill. I also purchased the rib rack and cover. I love my STOK.

I have had mine for a little over eight months, and I haven't had any problems other than it flaming up fairly consistently. I just have to move my food every couple/few minutes. It does still come with the inserts, and they work well as long as you plan the order of grilling ahead of time; trying to find a place for hot inserts can be challenging while your other food is still grilling.

Go on line an contact the company. My friend purchased one after I told her how much I like mine and she just got hold of the company to purchase the aluminum liner and brickets. When Lowes still carried the grill I purchased extra brickets when I got my grille and they ordered new liners for me less than a year later. They won't do that any longer.Surprised more places don't sell grills like this with all the condos and apartment dwellers around the country.

it comes with a pizza insert, a flat pan insert, and a handle to remove and change grill parts when it's hot. You will need a propane tank. I have had this grill 3 seasons now. It has held up very well.

There was an update to the SPEAKER GRILLS. Does this one have the LARGER SPEAKER HOLES?

No they are two separate grills that you can buy individually if you would like. They simply combined them onto one frame. Get ready for a couple of days of work but the charcoal grill is really nice to cook on. I'd buy another if they improved the quality however at what you are paying?

Yep, just the grill, that's all. it is small, but just right for one or two people. I saved the nylon prong scraper that came with my old grill. the 'old' grill lasted +/- 20 years, and only the Teflon coating wore down to where I did not want to use it anymore. the GF grill is extremely well made, I took the bottom off out of curiosity. it is well made, impressive really. I use mine 6 days a week and I really like it.

yes, it is just like the original I bought with the grill. Pleasantly surprised.

Mine did come with a very nice bag and a black hose as shown in the Smitty site. However, my regulator was not assembled correctly and the guts and knob unscrewed from the rest of the regulator in my hand. The hose was non-braided and blew up. The Chinese made tank did have a date that showed it was within a year old. Salesman at 4WP said he heard of other hoses blowing.

It comes with a removable catch-cup. I works just fine. I have altered my grill for easy cleanup. I have placed lava rock in the bottom. That does mean, I do not use the heating element/vertical position while in rotisserie mode. I just use the lower horizontal norm position. Works just fine. Overall a good grill, thus far.

Vicki...we bought our inserts a year ago, and the parts looked identical to what we had in the grill. I can't be specifically sure about the answer. try getting the measurements of the plates and see if that coincides with what you have in the grill. Sorry, that's as good as I can do...ET

If you check on line you will find other people have complained of the same thing. That after a while the OEM regulator inhibits high gas flow rates. Ours got to the point of not working at all. After purchasing this unit which comes complete with everything the problem was immediately resolved and the BBQ is back to working perfectly.

Yes, the unit purchased has a threaded screw to retain the grill. It was too short so I had to add an extension - not a big deal.Hope this works for you.

No and the tank hanger set up is strange. I had to get a longer hose and do some adapting. Good grill if you are handy

Received this grill for Christmas. I like it a lot, but noticed a tremendous amount of smoke coming out at the rim of the grill during cooking, and once I closed the top and bottom vents too. Charcoal would not extinguish and turned into ash. Lid was "out of round" by 5/12 of an inch. Was not a huge issue in cooking, but reusing partially burnt charcoal is a cost saver. Weber is sending new lid, and hopefully equally rounded to make a tight seal between lid and kettle. Is it just me or is the metal thinner and lighter (cheaper feeling) than my 15 year old Weber?

No, sorry...This grill has lasted several years now. We have noteven changed the burner yet.

When I started up my new Performer Grill a couple of weeks ago, the charcoal would not self extinguish thanks to the dampers not fully closing off the air supply coming inthrough the vents on the bottom of the kettle. It was a case of poor fit up. I called Weber (number listed on warranty sheet). Weber's rep helped immensly. She understood the problem. She also has been trained hands-on with mechanical issues on this grill. Weber sent me a replacement damper assembly in two days. I installed the new dampers and the grill (took me about a half hour). The grill now seals off the air so that after I am done cooking, I close all the vents and, after a couple hours, the coals are out and some coals are useable for the next round of cooking. The gas pipe does not seem to be a problem so far as letting in enough air to keep coals burning. Check the damper blades in bottom of grill to see if they are sealing off the vents. Easy way to check? Move the dampers and look at the "scrape" pattern in the ash on grill interior. One of my blades was not touching the grill. Another barely touched. Problem solved. Grill works great. Weber was a big help. I give this product 5 stars.

Yes, everything comes as you see it. Pretty good mini hibachi but the grill won't last. The first time I used the hibachi the grill came apart. I complained to the company and they sent me a complete set instead of just the grill. The new one also came apart. On my trip to Kappabashi Japan, I found a really good replacement grill.
