^^^ Thank you! Only few small things to do. So far so good! I am trying to keep it real simple with a polished aluminum end cap. I may delete gas assist on this one. Weber badge from SSP and a special edition logo on front and that's it. All under mount so no bolt head shows. It will be nice and strong when done.

I just found me a solid heavy duty commercial grade stainless steel that I will be cutting up and doing another performer before this. I am really excited, so I have to tackle this new project first.

If memory serves, you would have to modify the bowl in order to do gas assist.  If that is the case, I would skip it.  Either way, it is a beauty.


It actually has a gas assist. I thought about hiding the tank but decided to block off the bowl and keep it simple. Thanks!

Here is the other Gen2/Gen3 hybrid I was talking about.  One piece 304 grade stainless steel table build. Almost finished. Had a hell of time cutting as it is about 3 times thick as the SSP table thickness.



where did you get the piece of stainless steel?
I like my Kettles like my coffee....strong and black.

I have to admit that the Gen 2 really does look the best,  I have the Gen 4, but I had a Gen 2 and @LightningBoldtz has convinced me that the Gen 2 looks the best.  However my Gen 4 may work the best, but the other looks sweet....

I scored it cheap off a guy who was down sizing.  He was selling few other things in his garage including his boat.  Not sure how he got them but something about restaurant business or something.

Here is one very similar. https://www.uline.ca/Product/Detail/H-1135-SSTOP/Packing-Tables/Replacement-Table-Top-60-x-30-Stainless-Steel?pricode=YA692&gadtype=pla&id=H-1135-SSTOP&gclid=CIDF14CHntMCFQ4waQodFlgOEg&gclsrc=aw.ds


Almost done.

I do love Gen2 and all of the Gen2 shown here are all beautiful. But for me, the best Gen award goes to Gen1 SSP. I just like it more for some reason.

Just replaced my plastic top with the new metal replacement. Snow fell from the roof and cracked the plastic one.
