Post by: SacramentoWeber on September 19, 2017, 11:25:08 AM
Do Gen 3 bowls fit in SSPs without modifications?

Pretty sure all Performer bowls are the same.

Roger that. Any 22.5 Performer bowl, or Platinum bowl for that matter, (except for the twin-table front-loader version) can be swapped into any gen frame. With added brackets, you can make any 22.5 bowl fit. If you want gas assist that can be added too, but with Weber cubes so cheap why bother?

Only thing I've noticed is at least on the gen 4 when installing a gen 3 bowl the ash sweep and pan handle end up turned slightly to the right where the gen 4 pointed strait out at u I think same is true on gen 2

It does seem in your pictures that the leg sockets have been rotated back "leftwards" (viewed level with the bowl) since 2015 (Get 4). I rock the 2015 ash bowl design on my '92 Performer and the ash bowl handle is slightly angled rightwards, not perpendicular to the frame.
