I can sell you a used one for a song..
I also have a Slow n sear Deluxe I don't need
I got a used Performer from FB marketplace, it came with Vortex and slow n Sear.
I already have a Vortex, I love the Vortex, especially for wings & thighs.
I also use it for flank cut Kalbi ribs.
The char...
I used to simply bank coals to the side with just firebricks. This allowed me to add a lot of fuel for a 8-10 hour low & slow.
Then I started seeing people using the slow N' sear, and then seeing the bro n' sear mod for converting Weber char baskets to one larger basket. I use the bro n' sear...
So with the new Bowl you added, was it a Performer Bowl or was it a regular kettle?
did you have to order aftermarket Brackets to fit it onto a Performer cart?
I have the opposite problem, too many holes that I dont need. UNLESS I add Gas assist to the smaller Weber Performer cart with this new...
I love the outside of the box suggestion, now you have my cerebral wheels spinning.
The hole is aprox 15/16's at the widest part and narrows to about 1/4 inch , images below including over ripe banana 🍌 for scale.
The bigger hole is not perfectly round, I think the SNS Smoke Hole Cover would fit it.
I am just not sure its worth $30.00 ( 14.99 + 15.00 for s/h) for such a small light weight item, they really stick it to you on s/h.
I am planning on getting stainless bolts/washer for the 2 smaller holes

I plan on getting a smoker. I have done everything on my trusty Weber kettle.
It takes a lot of finesse and patience, but well worth the effort.
Bro n sear, minion method, fire bricks and a drip pan , simple indirect set-up. Never fails me.
I received a new performer bowl and lid from Weber as a warranty replacement for my current performer. I ended up doing a spot paint touch up.
Now I have a brand new Crimson Performer bowl and lid.
I am looking for a standard Performer cart, like the one you have here.
I am willing to trade my...
Update with refinish.1st of 3 coats.
I had Sherwin Williams paint match ( took my lid in) the color of the 2015 Crate & Barrel Performer Deluxe blue it most closely matches Sherwin Williams "morning glory" .
I used a grey high heat primer.
Then mixed morning glory paint with high heat clear...
I think it happened when the movers moved our grill. They probably grabbed the lid bail like a handle and put pressure on strain on the bolt connection.
I am going to sand out the small amount of rust and hit it with high heat primer and a blue color high heat paint. Then I will add an extra...
