Awesome write up! I had a question, on kettle history I suppose. So my GF's grandfather gave me what I thought was an early non SS performer. It looks like I'm wrong though. It had a DA stamp on its lid, which would make it a 2001 piece. Looking at the picture of the Gen 2, what I have is missing a lot of those features. It's basically just the cart, table, and wire platform underneath. There's no side panels, hooks, or charcoal holding bin. The gen 2's also came along 4 years after this grill. So do I have like a OT beyond gold and not performer then?
