Red SS Performer - $20 CL score - Restoration FINISHED! [with pron]
Finally finished restoring the Performer I found on Cl some time ago. It's not completely red, hence the name " ladybug".
Links to my other threads about this project: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101638 http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101857 http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102233 I added the Touch-N-Go propane assist (this Performer was originally the non-TNG type). Weber sent me the TNG hardware gratis. I also added a probe grommet mod which was demonstrated by a member of the TVWB forum (cost ~$5!). Had to fab a new ash catcher bar since the old one was rusted and broke. First cook was a pair of veal chops from Costco (pre-marinated in wine and rosemary - they were deelish!! I love how self-contained the Performer is - propane lighter, charcoal, bbq tools all on board with a sweet SS work surface. First cook was a success - had not done veal chops ever. Indirect heat until they hit 120, then direct heat until internal temp was 135ish. They definitely did not suck. [My apologies... I still don't know how to add captions for pics]

Thanks! My paint job on the bowl is not nearly as impressive as some of the work done by swamprb, but it'll do.
I'm thinking of adding a paper towel holder and a bottle opener- then I can just spend the whole day outside!
