So the other day I picked up a 2 year old green Weber Deluxe Performer....I also got a really nice cover, a Weber Chimney starter, two sets of charcoal baskets (one new in the box), a bag of charcoal, a set of bbq gloves and a bottle of lighter fluid. All for $55!! I met the seller in a True Value parking lot and he couldn’t have been nicer...said that he just wanted to go to gas. After about 2 hours of elbow grease (I don’t think it had ever been cleaned) the Performer looks immaculate with the exception of the steel table...the finish on it has actually rusted in several places and the crinkle finish has bubbled up off of the metal underneath.
Before I go and call Weber to get a new table, has anyone refinished their metal tables....I was going to simply take a wire wheel to it to remove any rust and then paint it with an outdoor rust inhibiting paint. But how cool would it be to get a custom cut butcher block and just screw it onto the top?
In any event, I’m looking forward to my first cook in this new-to-me Performer!!!
