Gen II Performer Appreciation Thread
« on: April 01, 2017, 08:28:21 AM »
Lets show off our Gen II Performers - the best Weber ever built!

Happy to have a black Gen II again, thanks to @hawgheaven Spent some time this morning cleaning it up. I had a spare NIB bowl, thanks to another WKC member, so in it went. Need a burner bracket, igniter, tilt-out bin and a steel table. Will be calling Weber later today. Removed the ugly warning label on the front panel. (The flip-up igniter cover is back in place after I took this shot.) Mounted 8" whitewalls in place of the ugly stock wheels. (Had to add 1/2" spacers.) Working on the lid now. I have a NIB cover squirreled away. With luck I'll be in business next weekend.

We will have to agree to disagree about the wheels, I really like the gen 2 wheels.

Of the non-SSPs, I like the Gen2 w/ metal table upgrade the best. Love that slotted metal piece. Still not sure about the wheels, though. Some days like, some days don't.

I added a new wider lid bale, lid and metal table.
 
Removing that instruction decal from the front sounds like a good idea. I wonder if I can order a new decal to mount on the back panel. I'll call weber..

I'm enjoying mine and love the slotted stainless front opposed to the newer models. I like the white walls but I can see where some would go with the classic wheel.

Gen II performers are the best, throw a metal table on and you have the perfect grill.

I am not a collector, but I do have a small collection.

Yup, @LightningBoldtz copying that grill of yours there is a long term goal for me.

Where did you get the wider lid bale? I like that look without the warning sticker too, but why would you put one on the back panel?

So that when I die and someone scores it for 25 bones off my Estate Sale they know how to operate it.
