I picked up a 2012 performer on Monday night and started digging into the clean up last night. Much more dirty than I thought - my guess is it hasn’t had a deep clean ever! The sweep system is rusted together - I’ll probably cut it off and replace it. Unfortunately there is some surface rust on the bottom of the bowl, just pitting. I’m not overly concerned for a couple reasons this grill will be stored in the garage when not in use and I will likely take this stand and make a 26” performer out of it...maybe next year. Is there anything I should do in the interim to keep the bowl from getting worse?
1 strange thing about this performer is someone took off the serial number decal. Does this happen often? Is the serial number located anywhere other than the decal?
