So my girlfriend's grandfather is getting a new performer for Christmas, and he offered to give me his old one for free. So wooot free performer. He said he's had it for like 10 years, and it has a plastic table so I assume its early 2000s. Only issue is that the bottom of the bowl and the ash sweeper are majorly rusted out. I'd like to replace the bowl, and I'd like to do so with one of the 2015 model bowl lids if possible. Can I just buy a new OTG and drop the bowl in, or do I need a performer bowl for it? I know I can buy the new metal table from Weber directly. If I go to Weber are they only going to be selling me the comparable bowl/colors to the year associated with the vent code?
I really want a copper 2015 bowl/lid combo to go in it. Though if they offer me a red or brick red color for the early 2000s one I may have to go with that.
