Not sure if this counts as a score...
« on: February 15, 2014, 04:52:54 PM »
...but I'll take it.  I was all set on getting a Crimson Performer Platinum until a NIB Black Performer Platinum showed up on CL for $265.  After emailing a few times, we still hadn't worked out a time to meet for a deal.  In the meantime, I stopped in Ace Hardware to see if I could lay eyes on a Crimson...no such luck. 

But I did find this.  It was marked down to $299...not a huge savings, but works for me.  Assembly will begin shortly!

I have the same one Todd, you will love it.
Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

Well, assembly was straightforward enough.  Took a little while since my 4 year old insisted on "helping" me out.  I ran into one small problem though.  Instead of getting the screw for the lid handle, I got an extra axle nut.  Anyone know what size screw I need?  I figure I'll email customer service, but wouldn't mind just picking one up locally if someone knows the size.  Thanks!

I love the brick red, if you need to upgrade to a wood handle let me know, I toss in a stainless screw for nothing.....

I may upgrade in the future.  In the meantime, do you know what size screw I need for the plastic handle?

It's some weird screw, it's like a wood screw but it's got a flat bottom with no point.  Maybe something Weber has made.  I'm sure I have some lying around, I always take off the horrible plastic handles.

False alarm.  My son just asked me if I needed the screw he had.  Grrr.  All is well now.   8)

Haha, that's funny.

And yes, this is a nice score!  Performers are awesome.
