@JordanW  & @thinkblue . I just picked my DZ code blue yesterday. Great shape-just needs a little spit & polish.

Is that your grey performer? I've been staring at this on the calendar. So sweet.

Thanks Travis!  Yes that's mine.  I found it on Craigslist in Berkeley, Ca.  It was buried in some guys garage and falling apart. Fortunately the bowl and lid were in excellent shape.  Took me almost 5 hours round trip to drive 40 miles and get it, gotta love Bay Area traffic!

My son picked this one up in San Francisco a while back.


@zavod44  made up a handle using an old Rosewood Marimba bar - holes and all. (My son is a trained percussionist.)

Just looked back at the first Gen II I had, and it's a FMJ version; DO(2005) kettle. My new Gen II is a DZ (2008). Maybe the earlier Gen IIs were all FMJs?



By the way, if you have a chance to swap in a red like I did, I highly recommend it! The new table would make it even better!



This is happening this weekend.  I'm dropping my in . Shot maybe tonight

That Red, Gray, Dark Green all looks great! Of course, Lime, Black , and other Gen2 colors all look great too.

Swapped the kettles.  I like it
This is like every kettle head's wet dream right here!
Put in a red 26er and that might be the only grill I'd need...not want mind you, but need

Just a reminder that I still have several sets of 22.5" brackets available that will fit any 22.5" kettle to any Performer frame. Ideally a Master Touch, but a vintage Yellow would look so cool in this frame. Who's first to do an Ivory or Smoke?
