So I had a dark green gen 4 performer but have been wanting the grass green bowl well I found a gen 3 crate and.barrel grass green worked out a price with seller I didn't mind and picked it up top hand had bean bent down a bit top of lid pushed down slightly it was a little more dinged up than I was hoping for but what the heck straightened things up best I could and swapped burner and lid bail and ash pan assembly I forgot to get before pics but I have a few pics of finished grill and the gen 3 grill with the dark green bowl in it

Very nice -- been watching a few of the crate and barrel ones in Seattle hoping the prices dropped

Those greens are very nice especially the grass.  Been trying to locate a green or blue cb kettle  for a while now.  Just picked  up a black ssp earlier today  so that I could customize the frame for a modern blue or green kettle.

I'd been doing most of my cooking on a blue SSP until I got the gen 4 performer I like that it's a few inches taller and I don't have to move stuff off the table to get to the charcoal don't get me wrong though the ssp's are great solid grills that being said I think I'm going to have 2 ssp for sale and a dark green gen 3 my grill collection is way out of hand lol

I only like the ssp frames and besides I prefer my grill to be very low.  Actually lowered mine  by 6 inches.  Is the grass green fron CL?

Nice work.  I just picked up a Gen 2 to pair with my SSP.   Your two look great!

Mine was from CL...free...nice deal.  Broken table, but easy enough to clean up.  If I could get it to shine like yours I'd be happy.  :)

Same - I picked up a gen 2 C&B grass green today for $50. I'm going to toss it into an SSP frame. It going to be my daily cooker so I'm going to do some mods on it- Beer opener attached and a butcher block end.

Nicely done! I also have the Gen3 dark green and grass green custom performers. C&B green is getting changed up again to  all out 4 gen and the spring green with take placed in the custom SS cart C&B was in.

Don't have much time to do anything at this time, but in due time I will show some pics later.

Looks nice. I took the cheap way out and painted my plastic OTP table.
