Show your gasser

[glrasmussen]

Yes this is a Kettle Club. Some are shy to admit they have one. Kettle is my first choice, hands down. I look at it as an accessory to my kettles. Warming station and in the sub-zero temps of winter here, a finisher for some longer cooks. I also have extended family that loves the cooks, but get severe heartburn for some reason, after having good food off a kettle. So I have added a gasser. I purchased this late last fall. Just got around to do some cleaning and some rebuild, but not a total bare bones rebuild.

This is a G5000 with new Rotis and smoker box. Just noticed after getting this back together, the smoker box has a water reservoir.



My first gasser, now in the hands of a fellow WKC member.

I forgot about that performer gasser , it's pretty cool
I cooked on my gas kettle with the wok for the first time in ages the other night
Thank god for charcoal!!!! I cooked a stir fry and even though the kettle was on high it didn't get anywhere near as hot as when I'm using charcoal and the wok

[saxart]

Wow, that thing looks fantastic Greg!   Another well-done resto...

[Jocool]

Really Joel? Was that a conversion gasser?

[glrasmussen]

"Thank God for Charcoal!!!!", agreed. Add a Vortex below the Wok and see how fast it lights up.

Really Joel? Was that a conversion gasser?

Yeah, good question.

I've fried in the wok using the kettle gasser.

Although the kettle has been modded - no diffuser, and a different burner - my RatRod

(They've gone way up in price)

Tube is a perfect fit, but the burner is flipped so it won't work with the diffuser (flames above the flange instead of below).

That's a sweet Performer Gas Kettle there! Does that prototype model have a tuck away lid?

It also looks like the wood trim along the front is like one giant kettle wood handle top piece. I like that! 

[glrasmussen]

@Craig

Actually, the detail on the Gas Performer, is it was a production piece. Yes the lid tucked away on either side. The table grates actually lift too.
Not sure what the purpose was for grates to flip up.

[Hogsy]

Really Joel? Was that a conversion gasser?

Nope, it was this one

I imagine the the gas conversion kit would be even worse as it's setup for cooking indirect only

[dazzo]

Ah, OK, I see.

Obviously it's defective.

Just send it to me and I'll suffer through using it.

No need to thank me. I do what I can.   

[Hogsy]

No chance Dazzo!!!
The stir fry turned out great, I just noticed a huge difference in the heat compared to cooking with charcoal

[Golly]

Ah, OK, I see.

Obviously it's defective.

Just send it to me and I'll suffer through using it.

No need to thank me. I do what I can.   

I will send you 1 if you pay shipping

[dazzo]

As tempting as that is, since I have one, I can't justify the first class ticket from the Land Down Under

[jmeier64]

Golly, would you seriously part with one if I were to pay to get it sent across the pond? If you were to guess a price for shipping what would the range be. I have always wanted a gas kettle ever since I knew of their existence

[jmeier64]

Greg, that Genesis is a sweet grill. I would love to have that gas kettle performer. Two wonderful peices
