So I was at my local hardware store the other day and saw they had a Green Weber Performer, floor model, left over from a couple years ago marked down to $279 to move it, and it had a black ash pan. I remembered about a year ago a guy at work asked me about what was the best charcoal for the $$. At that time they had another floor model Performer marked down for $249 and I told him about it and he picked it up (and loves it). Anyway, when I saw the black ash pan, I wondered if the Performer he got had the black ash pan, so today I asked him and he said it did and he'd be game to swap his for my brand new shiny pan! I love it when a plan comes together! When I get "Copper" all put together, I'll post a picture of it!
And the next time I'm at the hardware store I'll check and see if they have any of the black leg caps and let you guys know if you are interested...
This is such a great site! Thanks guys!
