Excellent write up and photography!

I restored an SS performer last year and it feels good to get one of these gems back into shape :thumb:

I love the SS Performers. I've never seen one in person though. They look great in pics.

Thanks!

Matt, I searched for about two months off and on. I found this one the moment I gave up.

Fantastic pictorial.

FYI to you and others, the easy off works great on the bowl and lid, but I would not use it on the alluminum/alluminized pieces (such as the ash sweep mec). It off gasses Hydrogen or something similar. Just remove those parts and clean them separately with another cleaner.

Excellent point. I knew that Easy-Off would eat through aluminum, so I used a citrus based cleaner for everything except the bowl and lid.

I tried removing the One Touch system, but I couldn't figure it out the day I was working on it. I didn't want to break it. :grin: It'll be removed the next time I clean it.
