It may not be a "Performer," but for $15 it gets the job done!

[ChangL]

Here's what I've always envisioned, and finally got the time to do this past Saturday:


12"x6ft wood, with a couple of 2x3 studs. Some screws, a couple of hinges and L hooks. The L hooks latch on top of the existing handle:



The hinges allow me to store it away when not in use:


Total cost: $15.

Now, I can start on some new experiments! Brazilian BBQ using an old pair of tongs. Manually turn every two minutes. Shave off and re-sprinkle with salt. Repeat. Mmmmm.


Now all I need to do is add tool hooks. Two screws on the side are good enough for me.

Your table looks great!
Price was right as well!

Looks like a "Performer" to me. Nice job!

 

[Brian Johnson]

Better that the "platinum" model for sure, as you have stain/color options not available from the manufacturer. Find a way to fit in gas assist and I'll buy one from you myself!

Hey if it works it works and that looks pretty nifty to me.

Good job bud!
I used conduit straps on my poor man's performer.

With the OTG adding a propane torch for starting is easy-peasy.

Nice work, Tim! I wonder how you got the wire to hold the lid. That's one missing piece from mine.

That's what I'm talkin about. I said this earlier this week: I can't live without my homemade side table. You're not gonna know what you did without it!

He's using the slide aside lid holder. Here's a product link to Amazon

Look to the right of Tim's kettle in this picture. It's a better view of the lid holder
