Fine tuning my LE kettles + Gen2 Performer.
« on: June 16, 2018, 03:07:35 PM »
Finally had a chance today to make some small changes I've been meaning to do for awhile.

Small changes ....... mix and match, Zav wood here and there, White walls, and no taco shells.



Red- added MT wheels plus white walls with red lettering.  lid handle strap, MT handles were already done before. 




Slate- completely stock before. Fireplace handle strap, zav birds eye maple woods,rollers, red le wheels





Spring Green- the lid handle strap mod was already done before for the Gen1 MT. Replaced the zav handles.

Looking good, sir!
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Gorgeous as always!   Nothing short of  a  @greenweb collection.  Slight critic on the slate : the screw heads are not lined up properly [emoji3]

Good eyes! I will line them up.  ;D

Working on my Gen2 performer now. I wasn't completely happy with a taco handle Gen4 kettle in it. So, do I change the handle strap like on my MT kettles?

Nope! This is what I settled on.

after pic.  Proper Gen2 performer.  Actually, Little cheating here as I am using gen3 blue bowl with gen 1 master touch blue lid. Bit of color mismatch but hardly noticeable.

Here it is with a metal table ordered for this project.



Still needs some more work on detail stuff, but real happy with how it turned out.

Consider using black ash cans on the gen2's especially with the black metal top. Makes a whole lot of difference.
