Is there any possibility of replacing the green bowl and lid on my SSP deluxe with an orange one? I keep hearing rumors that the gas assist is going away. Thanks to Weber, and you, for making an orange, though!Hang in there a bit longer and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Hey Steve! The Burnt Orange Master-Touch lid will work, but it's the bowl that's the problem. Unfortunately, we do not make any Burnt Orange bowls that have the proper cut-outs for the burner tube or have the brackets for mounting into the frame.

Thank you John! I’m hoping to reward myself with a new bowl by my birthday in the spring. I’ll be flexible in my color choices- I don’t see any bowls and lids for sale unless they are attached to another frame and accessories. Do you think that might change so I can refresh my restoration?

I would think Weber sells performer specific replacements if you call them, or don't they?

Hi Steve, as Steve Hoch mentioned, you'll have to call in to order replacement bowls and lids as separate items. The current color options for Performer Deluxe bowls are copper, green, black, or crimson.

They certainly used to. I bought a green lid and bowl with the burner tube holes and burner tube included. I got it from a guy selling off some weber stuff he had. It was new in box when I bought it from him.

thank you, and Bruce, and Steve, and everyone who’s chimed in! Called Weber customer service, and the gentleman with whom I spoke was very helpful, and encouraging.
Seems the colors currently for replacement are green, black, and copper. And that’s fine, though I’d really, really like them to offer the burnt orange in a limited run. I would definitely pull that trigger.
I think the orange would really look super in this setup, with the upgraded black trimmed ash catcher.
I’m also looking at buying a 22” Smokey Mountain so I can do something like this…(picture below).
Then I can have a grill or comfortable height smoker depending on mood…
I have to admit, I’ve had a lot of fun learning to cook on the kettle!

That setup is from the person who sold me my Performer. I did notice that he does not have the lid bail, which I found curious unless it’s purely a dedicated smoker.

Cooper is about as close as you can get. I would have liked orange too. I would have loved a glossy primary color orange across my collection. Since that's not available, I picked up Copper across many kettle sizes in my collection... some new, most used.
Copper finish is glossy and has a bit of metallic fleck. When it's shaded, it has an understated brownish color which melts with foliage but when the sun hits it, it lights up more orange. I'm pretty happy with Copper.
Copper kettles, are fairly easy and inexpensive to find in the used marketplace. Even very old used colored kettles can often clean up to almost new with some elbow grease, razor, and fine steel wool. It is much, much cheaper to change out your bowl color with a used donor grill.

yeah, I’ll continue to ask/work towards my intentions- would like to see it cleared

Ask and ye shall receive Brenda!Well shoot, there's another necessity.
Still waiting on that orange one, John.
Burnt Orange and Deep Ocean Blue aren't in stock yet, but will be very soon.
Also.....for the 2026 season we've revamped the Smokey Joe and combined the best features of the Smokey Joe and the Smokey Joe Premium into one new model. Essentially, we've put the Tuck-N-Carry® lid lock onto the regular Smokey Joe. The Smokey Joe Premium, and all it's current color variants, is going to be phased out. So, if you're a fan of the Smokey Joe Premium now's the time to get one.
The black version of the new Smokey Joe is in stock: https://www.weber.com/US/en/portable-grills/smokey-joe/smokey-joe-14/1501699.html

Wow John, you knocked this one out of the park! LOVE the orange and now I need an ocean blue, too.
(I haven't been around for a couple of days and missed the grand introduction)
And a bonus:
"Essentially, we've put the Tuck-N-Carry® lid lock onto the regular Smokey Joe."
I love this part too - I have never cared for those vents up near the top of the bowl, so I am thrilled to see the return of the ash catcher - and
of course, lid locks are always a bonus.
I am so excited about this, I feel like a kid at Christmas. I signed up for notification, so am expecting an email from Santa any day. LOL
As promised the new Mocha has been holding a spot for Orange and now we'll make another spot for the Blue.
You're the best John - you have truly made my holiday season!

I have a Crimson Premium that I drilled holes and added my own lower vent on for this very reason.
