Perfomer lid bail upgrade
« on: January 03, 2021, 04:09:26 PM »
And today i installed the lud bail upgrade
65188 on the blue 2nd gen performer. The workhorse

Is a much needed upgrade on the older gen performers.

Nice. Looks great and makes it much easier to cook with that upgrade.

100% agree that it’s a necessary upgrade for older generation Performers.  The metal table is a grate upgrade as well.  It really gives the gen.2 the ultimate look imho:

Obviously looking for a Glen Blue (who isn’t?😂).

Looking for anything Happy Cooker, including any re-branded as Montgomery Ward.  I’ve amassed a nice collection, but I’m missing a few still.  Let me know if you can help a fella out🤞

Yes the two best mods for a performer pre 2015 is the metal table and lid bale.
Then comes the votes and slow and sesr.
Thanks! Good to know.

I swapped it out on a local find.  I upgraded my MT and passed a great deal onto the new owner for a copper performer

Nice work Fhar. This is exactly what I need, will it work on a DD(2000?) Performer?
