The Performer You Wish Weber Made

No, not the 26er. That's a given. The one I wish they made is the 2nd Generation taller frame with the black tubes and stainless front panel, but with a glossy red kettle. Oh, and I would put the older white-wall wheels on it too - I just can't warm up to the modern wheels.

Like they say: your wish is my command:

Next up is a butcher-block table-swap.

Nice.

Sweet. I bet Cuda Dan would want that with a butcher block. Can't wait.

Love it!

That is the best looking Performer I've ever seen. I love that style and of course there is nothing better looking than the red lid and bowl. I will build one like it someday (I hope).

I love that, if I didn't have my sage mod performer I would be looking to make that

I wish it had a stainless top.. That would be the ultimate for me. The plastic is just awful

Love it Marty. I like that little WKC sticker on it too.

That is very nice!
Absotively right about the wheels...

Marty - nice mods. Looking forward to seeing the butcher block. Perhaps some cherry wood in the BB to highlight the kettle?

I like it, i am looking forward to seeing the butcher block table!

Looks great Marty. I enjoy this frame too. They height is much more desirable than the S/S. Just IMO.
Don't be afraid to go oversize on the BB top. you will be satisfied with the extra real estate.

Whats about the idea to build a 18.5-performer? For the Weber-man with the small porch or a balcony?

Sweet build Marty! Looks great and will look even better with a butcher block top! Very nice!

it's not gas-assist, but weber did make an 18.5 version of the older style One Touch Platinum that was pretty nice.
