Came home with this ▼ yesterday

[Jim Lampe]

...a 2014 Crimson Weber Platinum Performer

the display model at a local Ace Hardware store
did not have the therm or bezel (someone hock it from the store) but Weber sent me one today
only $229USD
working on a extended lid bale modification that'll hold the lid open at 90º instead of the 60 that it's at now.

Hope to fire it up this weekend.

Congrats my friend.

 

[Steve R]

Great find. Yours looks a lot like mine, are you sure it doesn't open almost 90 degrees?

I am wondering the same thing. I just purchased a Blue Performer Delux from Crate & Barrel and it seems it has the 90degree lid i havent assembled yet will get to it this weekend.

My Assembly manual has the date of 08/15/14 on it. So I am curious.. what year did Weber change the lid holder to a larger size?



I will take pictures and show all.

Great score Jim! Our performer is what got us back into charcoal, just makes it so much easier.
Also saw the weather for you East/Midwest folks this morning, nasty, be safe and stay warm.

I re-read the original post and noticed it's a 2014. The 2015 has the bigger lid bail, as well as the metal table.

Either way, great score!

 

[Greg Y]

COngratulations! But what's all that white stuff?

 

[Jim Lampe]
