18" One-Touch Platinum new side table

[northwestkettle]

Well I decided to keep this little gem intact it's such a cool little grill. Plastic side table was broken so I made one out of some wormy oak wood my dad had given me awhile back now I just need the lid bale wire that for some crazy reason was missing I guess I should call Weber and see if they still have them or I could try and bend a pice of stainless rod and fab one up I just am not sure how well stainless takes threading? Anyway if anyone wants a broken plastic table for a pattern or whatever let me know you can have it

Looks good. Nice job! I have to do something similar to mine.

Thanks I had that wood laying around for a couple years and thought this was the perfect opportunity to do something with it and this little 18" has really grown on me since I picked it up

If you have to craft a replacement, you might want to make certain that it's long enough to stand the kettle lid upright like the 2015+ performers    Borrow a "new" one from a local kettlehead (22's Ok), trace the outline, and then scale down to the size you want.  Once you get there, make the real one out of SS.   Good luck.

Looks great! One of these days I'm going to find an 18 platinum...

I thought I had seen a post here where someone used a 22 bale on an 18. I'll do some digging and see if I can find it.

It's not a performer.
Back in the day, Weber made both 18.5" and 22.5" One Touch Platinums. It's a Performer kettle in a cart with a table. That's it. No storage bin, no gas ignition, no thermometer.

I have a green 18 inch platinum with a cart.  What is the value?  I was told it is rare.

Not sure where you are located...and not sure how rare, but I picked up a green 22" cart a while back for 35.00. Took it home cleaned it up decent the resold it for 235.00. I'm in Phoenix, and there is a lot of people here who grill.
