Picked up a performer for free a couple weeks ago with the table top, bowl and lid all beyond rescue. Not a total disappointment since the bale, sweeper, frame and ash catcher are surprisingly in a very decent shape. Already have an ots i also got for free about a month back so i just decided to marry them together. With a help of a pressure treated lumber remnants from a deck remodel, a baby is born named "woody performer"
Chopped off the mounting brackets from the old bowl and slapped it on the ots bowl. Installed a spare thermo and used the old ash catcher.
Used the lid bale on another kettle so this will be bale free. Handle is used for hanging the lid.
