Looking at the Performer history page it shows the SS Performer as having both a Gas-Assist and Non-Assisted version, but the Gen 2 and Gen 3 only show the gas models. Did they offer Gen 2 and Gen 3 Performers without the gas assist?
Raptor - as previous post indicate, that is a one touch platinum. When I was documenting the Weber Performer history page, I decided to keep the scope simple and just include true "performer" models rather than dive into all the variations of kettles with tables.
When Weber went to Gen 2 on the performer, they positioned the kettle you are looking at as a bridge between the OTG and the Performer (top of the line charcoal kettle). The one touch platinum was also later offered with a small table on both sides of the kettle.
Just to make things really confusing, the newest 2015 performer now comes in a "performer platinum" model with all the bells and whistles as an upgrade to the Performer model....
