With that center vent and tip-back lid, it's an ideal setup for using twin charcoal baskets left/right and food in the middle. Think of it as a rectangular cook area about 13x9 and you'll be good. And yes, a 13x9 casserole dish fits that way.
@Schaefd2 I've always been interested in those but have never understood the date range. They have wheels and lid thermo that suggests mid/late-2000s but also came in burgundy or maroon which hints more at early-mid 2000s, but Weber was still using the long stem lid thermo on mid-2000s Performers (2nd gen). Maybe the lid thermo is shared with Genesis. Did early/mid-2000s OTG have a lid thermo, like this? Do I need any more coffee this morning?
I have a later red SSP (ER). Gotta be an O?
ah the setup you described makes sense! I will try it that way, and now i should probably FINALLY get some charcoal baskets....
I have no idea about the date range that this was made; I couldnt find it in any of the history pages on this website. I will check the vent code when I pick this up from my buddy tonight.
The red SSP doesnt have to be an O code, I just happened to see one at my brother's neighbor's house. I knocked on the door to offer to buy it, but he wasnt home. The SSP frame is so rusted, it barely stands up by itself, but if I could get it for $20 or trade a normal kettle for it, I will totally get it. I dont have metal-working skills, but I do have woodworking skills. I want to turn the rusted SSP into a Sequioa/SSP hybrid cooker. SSP platform, stained wood cabinet bottom.
