I just purchased a 2013 Dark Green Performer that is in exceptional condition (except for the cover).
I think I'm going to love it... however I'm not so sure I like the way the lid sticks up an an angle when at "attention".
So... I see that the new Performers have: "The lid bale clearance was increased by 2″ to provide much better access to the grill while the lid is stored".
I think I would like this cooker a lot better if it was like that.
Has anyone bought parts from Weber & modified the older grill to accept the new lid bale?
I bought this because of the table & the gas assist. Never thought about the lid issue. There isn't a "hook" inside the lid to hang it off the edge of the lower chamber.
Oh... how & how many of you have cut a slot in the bowl to accommodate probe wires?
Why do I hesitate to do this when I have done it in a heartbeat to my WSMs?
