    Performer Propane Conversion

    I had a recent request to provide photos of my conversion since the original photos no longer show up. I do not have a parts list but I suggest taking the regulator to the hardware store to obtain the proper fittings which amount to a handfull of parts. I also recommend checking for leaks...

    I'm charcoal "challenged", so I converted my Weber Smokey Mountain 18.5 to propane

    Very nicely done conversion. Good choice on the burner style since they are very quite, the turkey fryer style burners sound like a jet engine. I use those style of burners for my beer making setup, however I converted my burner to run off of natural gas (don't have to worry about a tank...

    Which is more valuable, old SS Performers or the newer ones?

    Its $20 to fill a 20# tank and $10 to fill a 5# tank in my area. The 1# tank will last me more then one season since I only use it to ignite the coals.

    Which is more valuable, old SS Performers or the newer ones?

    $3 is a bargain. I didn't like the price to fill the 5# tanks or risk emptying it because the valve was not fully closed, so I converted my SS Performer to accept the disposable style tanks that I fill with my 20# tank. Here is the link...

    Which is more valuable, old SS Performers or the newer ones?

    I have both styles of Performers. I converted my old Performer to accept the smaller 1# disposable propane tanks that I refill from my 20#. Given that both have the same style propane tanks, my complaints with the older style are that the lid swings up to access the bin (which is a pain if you...

    ss performer

    All these years I was using the match holder wire to lift up the hinged portion of the grate to add more coals. I had no idea it was intended to hold a match until now.

    I converted my newer performer with gas assist. It wasn't a bolt on conversion but it is doable. Here is the link: http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?44565-Performer-Propane-Conversion&highlight=weber+performer+propane

    Performer Propane Conversion

    Updated picture of regulator assembly with correct yellow teflon tape. The gas valve is 3/8" and the regulator is 1/4" so the adapters are 1/4" to 3/8" (correction from my post above).

    Performer Propane Conversion

    Darrel, I was going to name the title Propane Tank Conversion but I decided to cover my newer Performer conversion to propane. I had to drill the holes for the non propane Performer, one large hole for the tube and two smaller holes for the bracket. You can see the side view of the large hole...
