Hello

[KellyCaudle]

I have old 1970's 23 " weber kettle and my goal is to find an old Performer one day. Thanks for letting me join.

Welcome to the forum...a great place to ask questions and share tips, recipes and knowledge about grilling, smoking meats, refurbishing Webers and other great topics.

Hi Kelly, a big Welcome !!!!!!

What do you like to cook on your grill?

 

[KellyCaudle]

My specialty is a Boston Butt and London Broils, but I also kill ribs and chicken. I need to get the vortex and the lift kit which will give me more dome space for those large items!

 

[Joan]

Can't wait!!!

 

[KellyCaudle]

here is an assessory I made for my Weber to give me some much needed work space!

Nice table, now you have your performer!
You can see what I did in my avatar.
A rotisserie set up is a great addition to the arsenal. That serves as a good “lift kit”, I drilled some 1/4” holes and put small studs through so I can have an extra rack for big days.
You have found loads of kindred spirits here. Welcome aboard!

Exactly except the color, both of my originals are the dark green but with the propane lighter addition and the bottom rack to hold extra stuff. My new one is black and a metal tray not the plastic/composite but still the same.

Now I've learned what Dutchess Cookers and PK Grills are. Thanks.

Yes, the Dutchess Cookers are rare and I was lucky to find one to restore and use. PK Grills(the company) currently have no plans to revive the Dutchess Cookers but they sure are doing the original rectangular shaped PK Grills now. Very expensive and understandably so. Cast aluminum is perfect for out door conditions.

The “Original” is being retired with the 300 to replace it. If you want a new original better buy now.

Hey Kelly - Welcome to the forum! I have friends and family in the Inman & Seneca area. I got some pretty great BBQ last time I was down that way.
