Great work! Front wood panel and the bottom rack looks good. Other mods are nice as well.

I received these awesome Oak end caps for the SSP today. They look great!  Phenomenal work @zavod44



Also, the winter months is usually when I get to working on projects.  This year was no diff.  Finished my JJ smoker and added this to my SSP

Bought I sliding hang basket from target cut off a few pieces that didn't allow it to sit flush under the ss frame, Screwed it on and done.

I had it replace the previous basket I had.  This one is able to slide out and is deeper.  Allowing for more room for storage.  No longer need a charcoal only basket















You can see that I bought the 2nd gen Performer plate and installed on the front panel.  Gives me extra place to hang stuff and the grills name is now front and "center"?

Anyone interested in buying the old basket from me? PM me.

Fellas!  It's been a while since I've posted. But I have some updates on my customized Blue SS performer

Long story short, I sold my SSP in 2020 on Craigslist..which I regretted. I reverted it to flip top before selling it and included a bunch of accessories including the iGrill thermometer.

Fast forward to January 2025, I was surfing OfferUp and found THE grill.  In the same condition, just a bit dirty, being sold by the exact same guy I sold it to 5 years ago!

We met up and he told me he "bought it from some guy who customized it years ago". At the end of the deal, I told him I was the "guy" and he was stoked about it. 

Anyway, although he took care of it and left it in the same condition I sold it to him in...accessories and all...even the iGrill works, it was dusty and dirty since he hadn't used it in years.

Since I got it back; I've been working on it and upgrading various things I always planned on doing.

Well, here she is now.-

-sanded, refinished, restained and resealed all wood (he had painted the wood dark brown)
-cut slot on kettle for thermometer leads
-Upgraded Caster to 4 1/4 in from casters.com
-Upgraded wheels to 12 in lawnmower wheels
-Reconverted flip top to sliding top with color matching soft close sliders
-Added additional wood trim/panels to "side" and "rear"
-deleted igniter, burner tube, mini propane tank feature (never used it) allowed more room for storage
-added a storage compartment under sliding top for tools etc using 6in deep food pan
-sealed hole leftover from burner tube delete using SNS "smoke hole" cover"
-upgraded lid bale to 2012 model (allows lid to be 90 degrees)
-added bottle opener and drink holder
-added storage area for condiments, spray bottles, etc..
-moved grate holder to "rear" of grill
-added extra tool hooks
-added extra "Weber" plate

Been using it to smoke ribs and regular grilling since

I plan on getting

-slow and sear
-sns EZ spin cooking grate
-Charcoal storage bag
-Sns elevated grate

Needless to say, I won't ever sell this grill again.
