That's based on my calculations and a few minor assumptions. I'm pretty sure your element is fine. Do you have a current clamp that can measure the current? If the Q won't heat up sufficiently, but the current periodically goes to 0amps, the controller is bad.

Nothing is wrong with the element. If it's not heating correctly, the heat controller is likely bad. It's probably cutting power to the element too early.

From what I recall, 1/4-20 is used on the Performer. Just trivial info, but a lot of the hardware on the 2nd gen Performer was already 304SS.

I did the same thing this year. Ive always had a gasser, but I picked up a mint 2nd gen Performer back in January, and have not touched any of my propane grills since. For the people who claim gas is faster and more convenient, try using lump charcoal. When starting lump with the Performer's...

*** happened to that? It's more than just missing two knobs. The valve stems are also misaligned.

I wonder if you can order the stainless screws from weber. My 2nd gen Performer had factory 304ss screws securing the table. It also came from the factory with a 304ss ash sweep and burner tube.

I think this is the best way to clean the tube. If you blow air into the tube without removing it first, you could end up blowing ashes and crap into the orifice.

It's part # 65057 and is $82.04

I guess you can also try scraping a small area of the new grate. If you see any copper colored metal when the plating is scraped off, it's a plated grate. Actually, did the replacement part have a part number on the box? It should say part # 65057 if it is stainless. I bought this Onlyfire...

Check the first one with a magnet. If it's good quality 304 stainless steel, the magnet will not stick or will only stick a tiny bit. The replacement should be the same. If the original was not magnetic, but the replacement is, then they sent you the plated steel grate.

I find that gas assist + weber chimney + lump charcoal = fast start and very little/almost zero dirty smoke. Lump can be ready to grill on in under 10 minutes, and I don't have to shut all the windows before lighting the charcoal. I've tried news paper, lighter fluid etc but those methods are...

Can you post some photos and also some measurements? What is the rod diameter? What is the rod spacing?

A brand new maroon one showed up on the local marketplace recently for around $100. It looked interesting, but I didn't pick it up, as it wasn't an improvement over the 2nd gen Performer that I already own.

Yea, I believe they try to convince you to send your phone number associated with facebook account. Next they try to reset your password. When fb sends you the 2factor code, the scammer will claim they're sending you a code to text back to them so they can verify that you're a real person...

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/528233712662362/?mibextid=dXMIcH Brand new Weber One Touch Platinum for $125cad pesos! Pretty tempting at that price, but I already have a Gen 2 Performer. These even have the 304 stainless ash sweeps that are now discontinued.

Yup, the pizza combo one doesn't come with the counterweight. Aside from pizza vs no-pizza, the kits have quite a few differences between them. The roti-only one has a lot of people complaining about lid fitment issues. The pizza-combo one has better rotisserie forks etc. It's like different...

I recently purchased the Onlyfire pizza/rotisserie combo from Amazon Canada. It was a great deal considering what is included. Ring fitment is decent. The ring is 430SS so it should last forever. The spitrod is non-magnetic stainless steel. I believe the forks are also stainless. Only...

Another nice thing about older Performers is that the One Touch ash sweeps were stainless steel. Now the sweeps are aluminized steel.
