As the title says.... Purchased this from a super nice guy in Canton, GA. We could have talked kettles for hours but I had to scoot. No tank, but I would upgrade it anyway. Other than my anniversary kettle this is my only green one. DA code, 2001 with a standard ash assembly - not the older hard to fix style.

Congrats! Nice 
. The SSP may not be the best workflow of all of the generations of performer but it is the best looking to me. I love mine.

Quote from: michaelmilitello on August 18, 2022, 02:28:24 PMThanks Michael. I've been looking for a later model that had a solid frame and decent kettle and this fit the bill. Not sure how much use it will get with the Summit sitting over there cocked and ready, but I'll definitely get it in the rotation. Seller lowered the price and I offered a little lower and he accepted. Fair price and we are both happy. He said he knows of the club and has more Webers that he and his father in law cook on so maybe he'll check us out.
Congrats! Nice

Thanks guys.... Kellee's teaching a class tonight so Beaux and I got to have us time which included working on the new to me SSP. New propane tank, acme connector, tube / igniter installed as well as a newer ash catcher / ring, larger lid bale and new front casters. Regulator works perfectly and oh yes, also Zavod bling on the lid of course!

Beautiful grill - love that shade of green.
Beaux did a great job of supervising the project!

So I took my new 5lb propane tank to Costco to fill it and they said it has a bad valve and can't be filled. Anyone ever have this issue?

Yes. They just don't want to fill it.
I get my propane from the VFW. Nice guys, and they are really charcoal dudes (ones that I deal with), so if you explain what it's for they'll go out of their way to help you out.

Quote from: mattstaub on September 01, 2022, 12:59:03 PMActually I took the tank to two different places and they tried and tried and could not fill it. Both places told me that it had a faulty OFD. So I took the tank back to Ace Hardware and got another one and it filled up just fine on the first try at Costco. $3.55 to fill it lol.Quote from: bamakettles on August 26, 2022, 09:41:19 AM
