here i go again.. I decided to add a feature inspired by the newer performers. Tilting charcoal crate!! just bought some cable, screwed it onto the charcoal crate and anchored it to the grill Now i can pull out the crate far enough to scoop up charcoal without needing to take the entire...

Finished the "milk crate" mod today. I think it looks pretty good. The large panel on the front facing side of the crate looks too...bare. I will be looking for something to place there. Maybe another Weber Logo plate? i dunno, well see. I bought the crate at an arts and crafts store and...

So, after looking at 2 mods a member on another forum did, I decided to add them to my blue ss. first, I moved the regulator to under the flip-up charcoal bin lid and side mounted the propane tank. Now its hidden and out of view. No pic of the tank mounted, but ill post one tomorrow Because...

awesome table mods

Thanks fellas ive thought about the 2015 lid bale mod but then the bale would stick out too much and the Weber SSP cover wont fit.

So, i decided to finish my mods up and added the front panel wood. used pine again and stained it to match the bottom wood rack i had made, wood handles, rollers and vent tab that Brian provided. It was a bit difficult because I had modded the igniter button and propane regulator. Since the...

Awesome!!!!!!

i wanted move the propane tank to the rear or side when i did the 1lb tank mod on my SS but got lazy and just left it on the front. if u do the move the tank to the rear, please post process and pics

Finally got around to reinstalling the lid bale along with Brians lid bale rollers. Plus installed the wheel covers. No need to say it but AWESOME work by Brian as always

So, the wire rack that the SSP has is not big enough for items and sits too far under the grill. A member on another forum made a custom shelf that was wider and more attractive out of wood that inspired me to do this. I used Tung oil and Spar varnish along with a stain that I already had in...

Ya ive seen those. but i dont want to have a huge tank attached to the great looking SS charcoal performer. Besides its not too big of deal to refill the small tanks of buy new ones. I have 2 reserve just incase. - - - Updated - - - HP???!!! I grew up in Bell. Huge rivals.

Regarding the propane conversion, you just replace the old regulator and hose with one from a newer model Performer. It costs about $45+. Really easy http://www.ereplacementparts.com/images/part_p_1477523_2290167233.gif They fit into the burner tube exactly the same as the old hose does. Its...

2 closed Ford and Mercury dealerships are at two corners. Been closed for over 10 yrs. The other corners have a Chris and Pitts and a McDonalds. The chris and pitts is the one that was in the news about a month ago where a police chase suspect ran in held hostages and then shot himself. Pass...

Earlier in the year, i found a red 98 SS performer on CL. It had belonged to the sellers friend who had passed away approx 10 years ago. Thinking they'd use it, they kept it only be stored away for that long. They finally decided to let it go on CL and I was the lucky one enough to be there...

use fiber washers instead of metal washers so that there is no stress on the enamel
