I received a Performer SS when I graduated from college from one of my friends who worked in a bbq store. What an awesome friend, right?? I used it for almost 15 years and it was in pretty bad shape. I scored an incredible deal on a 2015 Performer bowl and lid, and took all the parts over to my dad's house and gave him his early Christmas present! He is a retired mechanical engineer, and here is what he came up with:

And for the old Performer SS bowl and another lid I had laying around (original black lid was damaged), plus a Performer Platinum plastic table, he threw this together. I will get him a new ash catcher, but I figured this one can be used for high heat pizzas. My apologies for the bad picture quality:

Nice!
cool
Looks damn awesome!
Love it.
Love all the permutations here. What a great system of parts Weber uses. Pretty much every other grill company prefers to make it as many complicated, needless incompatible changes as they can.
