1998 Stainless Steel Craigslist Performer Find Pre-Restore

This green SS Performer find is in great shape except for the ash pan assembly.  Everything else I believe can be buffed up to look like new.  I bought it with the intention that if my buddies Craig Kimberley or James Eves didn’t want it I was going to keep it for myself.  But I could not, in good conscious let it sit there and sell to someone who would not appreciate it.  I was secretly hoping neither of them really wanted it so I could keep it for myself but James jumped at the chance and he will be doing the restore.  He promises to send in pics of the project.

The Bowl and lid were in excellent shape. The stainless will clean up beautifully with a  little bartenders keeper.  The frame solid.

I would replace the bolts with stainless but I’m not sure it’s necessary.  The only bad spot are the arms on the ash pan assembly that are rusted.

I’m going to ask my friends at the Webber Kettle Club Forums for suggestions.

It was quite a session yesterday on one of Smokin Jim’s old smokers

STOK Cast Iron Grates On The Weber Performer

Last night it was brussel sprouts, mushroom and onion skewers and ribeyes on the 2009 Weber Performer Deluxe.

Decided to swap out the standard Weber grates for the cast iron ones on the STOK.  Worked out well using the STOK veggie basket insert to grill the brussell sprouts which were lightly coated in evoo , Atlantic Saltworks Salt and crushed black pepper.

I obsessively check out the forums on http://www.weberkettleclub.com for inspiration and instruction on how to rescue, restore and respect Weber Kettles.  If you’ve followed Good Morning Gloucester and NortheastBBQ over the past year you know the passion for BBQ has grown exponentially and it has a lot to do with the positive and encouraging members at http://www.weberkettleclub.com and also http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/index.php

Both are fountains of information on the Art of BBQ and the passion for Weber Kettles.

A special shout out to Weber Kettle Club member @sixzerofour for sending me these stickers, one of which will be adorning my pick up truck today!  Thank you so much!
