another 12 pack??

What's the prize?   22? 18? SJ? or something else?  Need to narrow it down. 

24 pack?

A rare logo'd 18.5?

12 pack was the correct guess but I also got this

Wow

Congrats! Nice 2nd Gen. I should have known. You were just talking about getting a Performer before MT few days ago. 

Gen 2 blackie! Congrats bro! Looks great!

Thanks!  It's in ok condition and will clean up nice. The sweeps work so I don't have to worry about that. Haven't tested the gas yet. I didn't get a steal. I paid 200 but these don't come up often and they usually sell within a week. I didn't haggle. Probably could have saved a few bucks but I'm not going to worry about it.

One just popped up this morning in Fort Wayne for $250 so I'd say you did well. Congrats

Unbelievable. I just checked Craigslist and another gen 2 performer popped up for $50!  It was listed while I was in route to pick this one up. I had been holding out for months to find a cheaper one and the second I buy, one comes up for $50. Still can't believe it. It's in Sheridan, IN on craigslist if anyone wants to get an amazing deal.

Awesome man!  Those black frames on the second gen are the bomb diggity!

That's generally my luck too. I underpaid for some and overpaid for others. In the end as long as your happy, who gives a fuck. They're grills. What's gonna be the break in cook on that bad mama jamma? I've been wanting to use that phrase for a long time. Thankyou. Lol

Yeah capt, I really like the looks of the gen 2. That's another reason that finally pushed me to purchase this one when I saw it.

@travis, not sure what the first cook will be. I'm still debating on whether to do a full on scraping and cleaning or just a quick clean and cook?  It has a flip grate but it's toast. Luckily I have a couple new ones on hand I can rob out of the redhead or ots. Charcoal grate is toast to but usable for the time being. Everything else seems in order. There's the beginnings of grate tab cancer but no rust through (just one of the tabs). I'll probably give those areas the vegetable oil treatment on the inside and out.

I think this is as far as I'm going on the inside of the bowl. I'll be cooking in it soon anyway. You can see the grate tab rust. I'm thinking it just needs cooked in to impede any further rust. Or is there any other remedy?

It has the stainless ash sweeps too.

If it's still there tomorrow, I will. I also told a friend about it that doesn't have any weber's. Trying to convert him.

It's crazy because it was just a few minutes from the first one which was 45 minutes away from me.

Here it is socializing.

Yes. I agree as well. Just took me a second.

I'm really excited about this one.  I've wanted one for years.

I hope you enjoy it for many years, as I'm sure you will. For the amount of years we can use and enjoy these grills that George made... I really doesn't matter what we pay for them.  Between 50 bucks a grill & 200 bucks a grill... over 20 years or more it just doesn't matter compared to the enjoyment we get.

WOW!!  Love this thing. Never knew I needed one but it is really fantastic. Gas assist might be the best thing I've ever used in regards to charcoal grilling. I caught myself holding the tray of uncooked food and using the other hand to put stuff in the grill. Then I realized I had a table.

Cool stuff. I broke it in with a proper cheeseburger direct cook.

Idk capt. My first was a performer but I still love cooking on my MT and OTG. I do think everyone should have at least 1 Performer in the lineup.

Love the table, love the gas assist. It needs the new lid bale. I placed the lid on the ground instead of the bale. It's still too small but I'll be able to use the gas assist to light the chimney for the 26er. Most likely what I'll be doing on a lot of cooks but my smaller cooks, I'll use the performer to grill on as well.

Good break in cook. Isn't it nice to have that table? I don't use the lid bale on mine either. I have a round of wood I set it on when I take the kids off. I don't hang them by the hooks either. Lookin good bud.

My brother got me into the performers didn't care for them much, now I have 2 ssp red n black and one gen2 black all with gas assist! Very useful

Very nice!!

Thanks guys. @Travis, yes the table is very nice. I have a round expanded steel patio table that is dedicated to the grill area but it's always a couple feet away from the grills. Never thought an attached table would be that much better but it really is.

I didn't realize how deprived I had been . I might have to cook on this one every day for a year to make up lost time.

Also considering cleaning and painting that old table. I saw an old thread where @idahawk painted one with plastic fusion that he was flipping. I figure it will keep the sun from further degrading it, should be cheap, and if it chips, I can shoot it again. Thoughts?

Honestly, I'd clean it, cook on it and then replace it with the metal table upgrade. I don't remember who here has the gen 2 black with the upgrade, but that damn thing is SHARP looking. The gen 2 frame and that table are paired perfectly. The upgrade is on my list this year. Also, @Cellar2ful had a situation where he sanded a dingy table and refurbished it.

Exactly.  This weekend I was cooking for 9 and was running two grills.  Used the performer to fire up a chimney of coals, moved it to another grill and started a second chimney. 

Congrats on your first performer.  I have the same one (black 2009) that has been a solid workhorse since new.

I wrote a table restoration article, detailing the steps and materials needed.  It should be posted soon -  @Troy

@HoosierKettle- I think the article might get posted today.  This is a table I just restored on a Gen 2 that is featured in the article. It had pretty bad scratches in it along with the stains that would not wash off.

                                      Before                                                                                                                                                          After
