Here’s the original post-

The 2009 @WeberGrills Performer Clean Up and First Cook #BBQ

She started out dusty, faded blacks,rusty vents with a stained thermostatic plastic table-

She got a though rough detailing that you can follow in the link at top of this post.

So yesterday she looked like this-

 

Today the updated Performer table and stainless charcoal basket cord arrived.

The swap out took all of five minutes and the results are very pleasing. If I owned an older Performer it would be the first thing I’d do is order the newer style table.

The newer style metal table comes with bolts that are darker than the bolts that came on the original as you can see in the picture.  I was torn deciding between keeping with the silver ones that were in great shape still or using the newer black ones that shipped with the metal table.  In the end I decided to go with the darker ones, knowing that I could always swap them back f the black ones start to rust or something( I just need to not misplace them)

It was raining but I just couldn’t wait.

First to hook up the new charcoal basket cord while the table was still not bolted down.  The cord that was on there previously had rusted clips. New style looks to be stainless so ask for I if you order the newer metal table.

Next to bolt it in, no drilling or modification necessary.

Before and after-
