So earlier this afternoon @qwesthunter dropped off a red LE he picked up for me at his neighborhood HD. Wasn't really too crazy about this grill after reading all the issues but for $99, i guess it's a decent deal. Aside for a couple spots of enamel /porcelain runs inside the bowl, everything else are surprisingly excellent in terms of finish. No chips or missing enamel whatsoever.
So after inspection, i started drilling away. Installed gas-assist, bowl brackets and chopped off the handle. Also reshaped the taco assembly. About 1 1/2 hours, it turned into a midget performer.

Wow, you have some skills bro. Post that to the Weber Facebook group. Tell them how they can improve on the red LE and maybe sell a few more units.

Congrats! The very first Red Limited Edition custom Performer. Nice touch with a larger lid bale and the metal table. Looks great!

Wow! That looks like a new unreleased stock LE Red Weber performer right out of the factory, to compliment the LE Red kettle. @Jules V. It'd be cool if Weber puts out a LE Red performer into production (standard performer

height, of course). Thanks for giving us an idea of how it would look like.

First cook. Didn't waste too much time so i decided to make Korean kalbi for dinner. One thing i noticed though is that the red color especially on top of the grill gets much darker.

The gen 2 with a red and metal table upgrade, might just be the best performer combination ever!
Excellent job!

Excellent job! I like it.
Why is the bottom rack inverted from left to right? (you know what I mean?)

I really dig this mod. I had thought about it myself but remembered there were no more bowl mounts to be had.

Congrats on a really sweet grill!!! Well done on the conversion!

Thanks @qwesthunter. This project wouldn't have been possible without your assist.
