Just to chime in here.
That's an 18 OTP not a Performer.

You LE will not be a turn key fit in that frame even if you have brackets.

That grill is actually quite hard to find.
Clean it up and use it as is.
GRATE little cooker.

How do you tell if its an 18 otp? I thought those didn't have the front and back panels?

It's a 22 Gen2 performer, though in some of those photos, it does look like an 18.

ok it is a 22 inch measured with the tape. Quick inspection the whit wire is off the ignighter and the handle is missing a nut hopefully its in the ash bucket the table is cracked as well. I think Id like to try and replace that with a cutting board.

I assumed with the top vent not inline with handle that it was an 18.
Totally missed the panel's.  The 18 platinum  did not have panels.

That is a pretty lucky find man!  I just grabbed one of these this week for $30 with about $15 in gas and that one looks like it is in way better shape than the one I found.

Thanks man! I had to snatch it up. I did a little clean and added a cast iron grate that I had from an old grill...ill will wait a weekend or two. To go deep clean. There was a new ignighter but it was the wrong model doh!

If you can find a cheap current gen with a metal table it will look sharp with the SS panel on either frame and that LE drop in.  I am going for something similar on mine, but I think I am gonna save the LE for a SSP.  If you are good at woodworking I have seen others make some pretty sweet custom tables as well.

As a bonus, it should have stainless steel sweeps in the bowl & a stainless gas tube.
