The Performer You Wish Weber Made
« on: August 17, 2014, 08:46:20 AM »
No, not the 26er. That's a given. The one I wish they made is the 2nd Generation taller frame with the black tubes and stainless front panel, but with a glossy red kettle. Oh, and I would put the older white-wall wheels on it too - I just can't warm up to the modern wheels.

Like they say: your wish is my command:



Next up is a butcher-block table-swap.

Sweet. I bet Cuda Dan would want that with a butcher block. Can't wait.

That is the best looking Performer I've ever seen. I love that style and of course there is nothing better looking than the red lid and bowl. I will build one like it someday (I hope).

I wish it had a stainless top.. That would be the ultimate for me. The plastic is just awful

Marty - nice mods.  Looking forward to seeing the butcher block.  Perhaps some cherry wood in the BB to highlight the kettle?

Looks great Marty. I enjoy this frame too. They height is much more desirable than the S/S. Just IMO.
Don't be afraid to go oversize on the BB top. you will be satisfied with the extra real estate.

Whats about the idea to build a 18.5-performer? For the Weber-man with the small porch or a balcony?

it's not gas-assist, but weber did make an 18.5 version of the older style One Touch Platinum that was pretty nice.
