I seen this weber performer along the side of our town mayor shop just sitting there I contacted him and asked if he want to sell it. He said I'll help you load it up if u just take it ! So I did. It's been sitting for years . It's filthy and the table top is broken. I'll try and see if the wife will let me use some of the barn wood she has been saving for some DIY projects around the house . I have no idea if the propane works . I just pulled it out the the truck. I washed the layer of crap off it and gonna take it apart for a
Good cleaning . Iv wanted one for along time
But didn't wanna pay the price . Today is a good day!!!!!!!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170927/947380021631446e4d188a07f1a6f8aa.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170927/7f4532bccf3739eaa7e1f84517c03da0.jpg)

Good steal! Re: gas, cleaning the tube at the fire end AND the pin hole at the hose end sometimes is all it needs.

I'm curious what you do with the table. I scored a free OTP I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with.. but has a cracked table top. OTP's aren't really my thing (and I don't have a place for it) but the side table could come in handy.

Well I stopped at Lowe's and picked up a piece of wood for a new table. Been working on it the last few nights . Stained it with gun stock . Which I like a lot . On the second coat of polyurethane. Not quite done but close !!!!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171007/cce0e0c337d1581135f75cb4b67e4f96.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171007/aa9639f4cf2ed8390164be721b5a2be3.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171007/baf40f336cd54c4eb8a838edbf68df26.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171007/097c5ce8c8e0968fa8a5d41c233c2ad4.jpg)

Well here it is . I may lightly sand it I have a couple ruff spots but other than that I think it turned out nice . Much better than when I picked it up! Ready for action tomorrow !

Looks great, but IMO you should have flipped the table 90 degrees. I think that that darker band of wood would have looked better going the length of the table rather than the width.

That was the plan...... I was short about a quarter inch . I was not happy about it but it is what it is !

That looks better than the Weber plastic. They should get with it and have wood tables on the performer and wood handles on all kettles. That is what customers want.

That does look great. Is it marine grade plywood? Marine grade is not treated and does need a protective finish but has moisture proof glue. Typical plywood will delaminate outside, if exposed to any moisture or humidity even with a protective finish.

Only reason I say that is my brothers made my dad a corn hole game and they painted it with 3 coats of exterior paint and the first time it got just a little wet, the top ply started to wrinkle. It's done it a couple times now and when it dries it flattens back out. It's the weirdest thing and we didn't expect it. I'm sure yours will be fine but figured I'd mention that so you keep it as dry as possible.

Great looking restore!
Custom wood tables are so nice with a kettle or Performer.
One can make them any size you desire and customize its look. :D
Need to see more of them instead of the metal ones ... JMO. :D :D
