I have to give a big long overdue thanks to Tom
@indy82z I purchased my SSP about two years ago on Craigslist for $30. I was unstable from the start but still usable. In March, on the first mowing of the season, it collapsed on me when I hit it with my mower. My wife really wanted me to get rid of it.
I looked up on ereplacementparts and had a list of things I thought I needed. Luckily a few items were discontinued so I never ordered and started researching on the net and I was very lucky to find the WKC site. I put a post up about my situation and was given great advise from many members here. Tom offered to help and we started to PM and he is only 15 minutes from me and I loaded it up on 6-24 and headed over. I met him and his VERY supportive wife and within about 30-45 minutes I had my performer standing upright again. Tom gave me a replacement frame as my tabs where rusted. He would not take any money in exchange. Every time I offered he would just say send me pics of my first cook. I tried to insist on paying him because I told him you can't do this for nothing. He explained, I am not doing it for nothing, my payment is seeing another old Weber being used.
Tom is very knowledgeable and one of the most helpful people that that you will ever meet. I cannot thank him and his wife enough for the help and hospitality they showed me and my son. He also made my wife VERY happy as she thought I should just scrap it.
Here is what we started with.....
And I ended up with this...
Here is my debt being paid. I told Tom I am not a good cook. This is just for me,my wife and son. What I used the grill for was ribs, brats, chicken legs and beans. Some pictures didn't come out and I started the ribs late and by the time I was done my 6 year old had discharged my phone. So there are no pics of the final product..
