New to me Blue SS Performer (stretched out, limo style)!

[AZ_MIKEY]

So I seen that JCNAZ posted on the trading section a local blue SS pefromer, after thinking about it and weighing the con sequence of getting it (girlfriend said slow down on acquiring grills and the smoker you want). I decided go for it. Anyways meet with the seller able to hagle some with them on the price so I take it home. It isn't perfect and needs work.<---- assembled incorrectly and pretty dirty and some porcelain chips not to big though. Anyways pics that follow are the tear down and clean up.




Now I didn't get pics of me cleaning so we jump to reassemble.
And something special added.






A lot of runway on that table!!! This is my extension I made to put on my black SS that is in the garage still waiting to be finished.

Also breaking this kettle in tonight with a cook I will post some more pics here. Need it seasoned for the rib roast tomorrow.

Thanks for looking

Here are some pics of its first cook.




More to come stay tuned. The table extension is great if gives so much real estate to lay things out.

Well it cooks good.

It was nice to have gas assist again. Now I gotta get the other performer finished so I can store all the other kettles in the garage. The girlfriend says she will allow two performers on the patio and I can store the other kettles in the garage.

Absolutely awesome Mikey!
Your extension turned out even better than I had imagined it could. You are on to something big here...wouldn't surprise me if you get a few PM's asking you to build some of these!
You know I love black kettles, but that blue really makes this stand out.

Sweet looking table. Does it swing away or down?

Yeah...how is that extension mounted up?

What a great setup.  Very nicely done.  Sometimes I could use a little more room on my Performer.

The table extension is a slide in unit. I made a piece that fits inside both pieces of square tube and is a pretty tight fit. So just slide it in or out and that's it.

Here are some more pics.

The frame under the stainless. Minus the slide pieces.

The slide piece not fully slid in.

Hope these help a bit
