.... on my 3rd gen Black Performer. Well! next time I cook on it will be transformed into Dark Green Performer. I will fondly remember and miss you great deal as you were my first Performer love as a black P. I honestly love this classic jet black, but time for change regardless.

The last supper as a black Performer. Argentinian style Asado beef short ribs marinated in a simple lemon juice, salt, and pepper only.

I cooked them on high heat similar to fast cook pork ribs. Not ideal but only had 1.5hrs to time it for the dinner. Had to rush to get it done. Still came out good.
Excellent send-off!
Got all choked up...It served you well!
I poured one out for him.
Way to have a last meal with her.
But green will be awesome. Especially if you replace that table top with wood. The combo will looks great.

Ribs look great! I never find those meaty short ribs in our local stores.

How did you like these GreenDude? Only time I did country style ribs they were tough....too lean for my liking.
You do have 1 Black to keep around right? But for a Ranch I have 1 of each in Black.

They were good but kids did not like the heavy sweet maple smoke flavor. I think the beef short ribs are lot different than the country style ribs. They are tough part of the meat but not lean at all. Best way to cook them so far for me was to have butcher cut them 3/8" cross cut in Flanken style. Korean style marinate over night and grill over hot fire. Next time, I will use my new 12" or 14"CI dutch oven inside the kettle.
Yes I do have 2 black 18", 3 black 22", and I think like 3 or 4 black SJ and SJP. I would keep this Performer as is but no more room to keep another one.
I will miss my black performer. Here is one last pic.

The cook looks great!! It is sad to say goodbye to an old friend. I'm about to let my black Gen 2 go for a new sweet Weber Blue Performer. When you get the bug, you get the bug...
So long old friend, you will be missed.
Here is the replacement all done. I love this dark green.

Here is the Zav handle I used. Live edge Box Elder. The contrast and the look on this Green is amazing.

I have duel plans for it. 1. drill out the brackets and make Spring Green Performer using my spare green with the brackets. 2. With the remaining lid and a bowl, make gas assist using Go Anywhere Gas parts and make a shorty with a lid bale. But since I have lot more projects on the go, if you wanted them for your gen2.... you can have them but shipping would be at least $100 usd. Comes with 3gen bolted handle lid. The lid has a slight light speckles on it. If you want it, let me know. Just pay for the shipping.
Sweet deal Hoosier! Very generous of you Greenweb.

Wow thanks for the offer @greenweb
I was mainly just curious and I wasn't trying to acquire it. I'll give it some thought. It might lend itself nicely to a master touch build or swap and make my gen2 kettle a master touch. Just thinking out loud.
Unrelated but has anyone re drilled and moved their bale to function better? The one I installed on my dads, I left more room on the bale and the lid sits much more upright. I'm thinking about doing this to the gen 2

^^^ NP! I saw your thread on your Gen2 black Performer with one rusted grate strap. If you can put it to better use than me... you are more than welcome to use it. My offer still stands. Double check your shipping from your location to one of Toronto Canada postal code to give you some idea.
Old friend looked great new one looks better, especially with that handle!
