I've been lucky enough to have been able to purchase all 3 Crate & Barrel green Performers that I've seen pop-up on FB Marketplace. My latest purchase was my best yet.
I got this grill for $150. It's an AU serial number which makes it one of the last year's they made this color Performer. It's in Amazing condition for how old of a grill it is. No rust or imperfections on the bowl and only very minimal rusting on the usual spot where the handle attaches to the lid.
I swapped the bowl and lid over to a current gen frame, but the frame it came on was in great shape, even the plastic table only needed a little cleaning with some Windex. Wasn't dirty enough for Simple Green. I ended up selling the frame with a black kettle for $225, so made a little $$.
I also swapped on a new Tel-Tru thermometer, model BQ100. Fit without any modifications. And snug in the stock bezel.
And swapped over the cool black plastic vent handle from a LE red kettle. Also put a newer larger lid bale on there, can't stand the older small ones.
Recently I painted the ash bucket with some Rustoleum paint to somewhat match the grill. Color is Tropical Leaf. It doesn't match 100%, but I can live with it. It used to be black and I can always go back to that color easily enough.
I spend most my time fixing up flip grills, but am happy with this keeper grill and thought you guys might enjoy the pictures
