While everybody wants their grill/tabletop to be high, i prefer mine very low. Lowered the tabletop by 11" to a height of 24". Being only 5'6" maybe has to do it it. My hands feel more comfortable holding the tongs and whatnot in a downward position instead of on a horizontal position. The grill being low and without the casters also makes it much more stable/sturdy. No wobbling while brushing or cleaning the grates.

Also lowered the wire shelf.

Doesn't look very low anymore as the Caliente stacker will be on it full time.

Too cool!
Yesssssss! I've always wondered about a chopped performer. It looks awesome and functional for shorter folks.
Where did you get the Caliente stacker?

Don't know how tall you are but you should definitely try it. Also you will not believe how stable/stiff the tabletop once you chop and eliminate the casters.

Only cool for the shorter folks, otherwise it will be PIA for the vertically gifted.
@Jules V. I have a question for you. Where did you find that pan to fit int he Gen 1? And what are those screws off to the side of it?
AJ
Those pans are full size restaurant steam pans. You can also use 1/2 or 1/3 steam pans in a different configurations as pictured below. The screws are used to attach a metal plate for the pan/pans to rest on. Gas assist tank has been converted to a 1 lb tank and relocated to a different location.
@Jules V. Thanks! You executed that perfectly...
Nice mod. As someone who is 6'3 though, this kills my back just looking at it!

Absolutely not for the vertically gifted. Now I know how a 6'3" person feels like in front a performer since I'm 9" shorter and it just happens that i lowered the 2 gen2's by 9" from 33" to 24". Actually working out great for me since my 4 and 6 yrs old daughters are beginning to show interest in the grills. They always seem to be hanging around and checking what I'm cooking.

I love my gen 2 performer because it is a little taller than the others. I can't talk too much about the shorter grills though because my ranger, which I cook on often, is much shorter than the standard 22. It is the perfect height for kickin' back in a chair right next to it and being able to grill while maxin' and relaxin'!
