A AJ S. TVWBB Wizard Sep 26, 2011 #2 What are you using for a propane regulator? It doesn't look like it's anything Weber sells. AJ
anders TVWBB Fan Sep 26, 2011 #3 The regulator is a standard shop bought one like this: The valve with the blue knob on the pictures was nicked from a Paella burner I had lying around.

A AJ S. TVWBB Wizard Sep 26, 2011 #4 Is that an actual Weber tube? In the Performer, theslit is facing up. The Weber tube also has a place to mount the ignitor as well. Looks like it works fine, but homeamde stuff like this adds a bit of danger to the equation.

Russell Y TVWBB All-Star Sep 28, 2011 #7 I like. Next is a pipe that fits into the bottom of a kettle to turn a One-touch into a Performer. Any pointers on how I might fashion a pipe/steel tube to do this?
