Thinking the Milton valve core remover would likely work. Valve remover

Yes the tank is inside the cabinet and while it looks better that way it certainly does take up a good bit space. With a tank mounting kit in hand I did ponder mounting it under the burner but feel it would be a closer to the flame than I was comfortable with at the time. Mostly just use the...

Had to get rid of the star-board and replaced it with a slab of granite so it now should be burn and weather proof.

Prior to pounding it out, heat it up really first as hot metal moves easier than cold steel.

No space, bummer. I would then consider building a frame similar to the 37" ranch model then you could easily pop a shelf on it. The main advantage is it will be way more stable than the 3 legged tri-pod, add wheels and you can easily move it around. Just a thought and fairly easy to do if...

I broke down and built this for my 26" sometime ago and now I'll be removing the top and am placing a piece of granite on it as the starboard is less than flame resistant, lol.

Find a friend with a truck, lol would be even easier.

Well you could swap the 22" bowl for the 26" on the performer or go about thinking on how to mod the performer to add the 26 to the other end. If it were me in that predicament I'd likely figure a way to add it to the performer for a dual grill.

Awesome find!

High Temp silicon seal may work nicely for that as it sticks really well. Cover the opening with wax paper, put a nice bead on the cover and mount it and let it dry. Once dry remove the cover and peel the wax paper off and your done. I'd try to find the 2000 degree silicon.

Richard, you may want to take a small round file or some emery cloth and stroke all the contact points, add a dab of grease or wd/40. May help remove any burr's and slick's it up a touch.

The butcher block looks great btw! Awesome job!

I would imagine one would carefully mark and then cut a hole followed up with a needle and thread to mend the cut.
