I just picked up a Stainless Steel Performer from, I think, 2005 for free on Next Door. It is in really bad shape. I already have a SS Performer and was hoping to either fully rehab it for my brother or, at the very least, harvest some parts for future use on my SS.
The kettle itself is shot with rust as is the lid...this is what made me almost not take it. Almost everything would need to be replaced with the exception of the frame. Even that has problems. One of the bottom cross braces fell off as I was loading it in my car.
New to the club, and I am sure that there is a thread that I can find that would help me.
Just wondering what I am getting into and if this is even possible...should I call Weber and inquire about what is available and price it all out?
I am happy to post pictures. Wondering about how to sure up the frame and fix the cross brace situation. The whole thing is rickety. Need to replace kettle and lid, and gas assist. Love the SS Weber, but this may be too much!
