No, I got it last Fall. The Performer was a birthday gift from my wife and got the CB myself as an answer to big cooks when the whole family showed up.I don't remember a stock problem but I do remember Chris being great to work with.
Nice cook and photos! I had a long conversation with a Chris a couple years back myself. If i'm not mistaken aren't there two?
Those were taken with a Nikon D700 using a 24-120mm f/4 lens. And don't kid yourself, the camera helps a lot!
