I have been trying to register my Performer on my Weber account. It keeps telling me the serial number is not valid. I have a string of emails with customer support that have led nowhere. So far all they have done is tell me what I already know, that I have a 2000 Touch N Go Performer. I am...

Aha. I guess I should have pulled out the tape measure. You know what happens when you assume. I think you just made up my mind about what to do with my wheels!

I considered using those wheels since I already have them on my Limited Edition donor kettle. I thought the wheels on kettles were only 6” vs 8” on the Performer. That would throw it out of level with the casters installed. Maybe I need to measure them.

Not mine. Never seen this model before. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1424662378050770/

The frame is together. I cleaned the stainless with some 0000 steel wool but it still needs some polishing. I'm not sure if I should get new wheels, new inserts or maybe try something completely different. Next up is the kettle! Oh, and I need to get a 5lb tank.

Thanks Brian, I have seen that write up. I’ve drilled through kettles for temperature probe ports but the hole for the igniter is a bit more intimidating. I may try a test run on an old kettle to build up my courage.

I've made some progress on the Performer. I decided that welding in a new cross piece made the most sense. I have a friend who does some welding for me at work and he was happy to do it for me. The frame is completely cleaned and I hit the insides of the tubes with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator...

Great score. I ordered two from Ralph's a couple of years ago for $150.00 each, shipped free to the east coast from CA. I thought that was a super deal. There were quality issues with the ceramic coating but you can't get a Master Touch for anywhere near that price. Enjoy!

I love mine for smaller cooks. Kids are gone, it's just the right size for dinner for two. I think Bruce is right, I don't know anyone else who cooks on one.

Since I'm leaning toward using the inserts and new hardware I'm going to clean inside the tubing and coat them with fluid film. I'm getting to the age where longevity isn't as much a concern as it once was.

I assumed that was where the leg socket was spot welded on. Maybe I'm wrong.

Finally got some time so I dissembled the Performer this morning. It's in pretty good shape except for these two areas. I'm replacing the bowl so that's no big deal. The worst part is the rust out on the crossmember. I can pick up some 1 inch square tube to replace it, just trying to decide is I...

That's what I hope my finished product looks like. Thanks for the pic, gives me more motivation to get cracking on this.

I picked this up for free this morning, a FB Marketplace find. The woman who owned it was sad to see it go. She said she used it up until last week but her kids got her a new Performer for Mother's Day and this one needs repairs that she isn't capable of doing. She even saved the original...

I found Kingsford Pro at BJ's. They let me buy up to 10 online for curbside delivery! I don't even have to hump it through the store. https://www.bjs.com/product/kingsford-charcoal-professional-briquettes-2pk18lbs/3000000000000194057

An elderly gentleman who camped near us pulled out last summer and left this behind. It sat in my garage till last month when I finally decided to give it a try. Wouldn’t light, no propane getting to the burner. Cleared a blockage in the regulator and it worked like a champ. Since it works I...

WCK does great things, I'm glad to help. Yellow ThermoPop is on the way!

Got mine yesterday. Can't wit to give it a test run. I think I'll try some tri tips this week, indirect first to 110F-115F then sear them over the coals

Can't wait to try them!
