No frills 26 Inch Performer Conversion
« on: June 01, 2021, 08:02:18 AM »
Well, I finally finished my 26 conversion.  I left the frame as is and mounted the bowl a good five inches above the table.  I have a SSP and find the grill to be too short sometimes so I chose to mount the 26 a bit higher and definitely like it. Still going to add matching wooden handles and bale rollers and maybe add a lid hinge.  I am not super handy so I kept it simple. A big shoutout to andrewshrm who posted the best conversion I have seen yet and inspired me to do this one!  -JC

Very cool....Were the brackets to mount the bowl custom made?  I imagine the standard aftermarket right angle brackets wouldn't work... maybe an end shot of the bracket would show the way you attached it.  I really like it and agree, the original height of these with a 22" is a bit low, although perfect for smash burgers. ; )

Looks like they were made for each other!  One hidden advantage of lifting the bowl is that you'll probably end up protecting that wood top a bit better from embers flying out.  My wood top has some burn marks from hitting the lump a little heavy :)  Also - with your shorter frame, it's probably really good that you extended the table as far as you did.  I bet a shorter table would have had that thing popping wheelies whenever you put the lid over in the lid holder, lol.   

Awesome job and I appreciate the shout out!
