They do very good work, too. Brian is the best in my book and has many more creative ideas.

Here is one that I accidentally broke. Not Brian’s fault:

That's a beautiful handle Jon! If I find a Char-Q I'd buy that handle off you if you wanted to sell it. I'd fix it and use it.

Josh, the black hammered paint and repainting the rest of the gray black was a great idea. SSP's are great but I love that one.

Thank you Bruce I appreciate that!

Quite easy actually. Just an adapter hose that goes from where are you regularly plug in the 1 lb disposable and then the other end of the house has a full size tank hookup. I was originally going to do a regulator delete on the Performer and then add a full size BBQ regulator hose but this would eliminate The adjustable flame regulator that's built in to Performer. So this time the easy route was actually better IMO.

When you have time, can you post a parts list?

I assume you take your 5# tank to get filled? I exchange the large 20# ones and throw out the 1# ones.

Correct you should have a local fuel station that refills propane tanks. As for parts you just need an adapter hose which I had laying around but there are many available for sale. Here is a link to an adapter hose.

A Costco near me refills LP tanks.

He gave me a really good deal on everything. I decided to also try one of his Genesis x000 Walnut handles. So I'll have to report back on that also.

I would be interested in seeing what that looks like.

I'll inspect and take detailed pics and compare to original

Very Stealthy!

I sprayed the bottom lip of my propane tank with Black flex seal. Bottom of those propane tanks are kind of sharp and they scratch everything you set them on. Now I can set it on the lower wire rack before I mount it and when I take it down without worrying about scratches or chips to the paint on the lower wire rack. I know they make a rubber seal that fits the bottom of a full size tank. But I didn't find one for 5 lb tank

Take a small black rubber vacuum hose (car) and slit it lengthwise.

Another very useful product is brush on pickup bed liner i.e. Hercules. It's what I used for the floor pan of my tractor and no matter how I abuse it, it has not been marred one little bit. Really tough stuff

I did my truck bed 12 years ago when I bought my truck. I love it. Still holding up well.

Thanks Bruce! Good to know

That flex seal works good but I'd guess it's more expensive

 

[Bruce]

And it was 1/5 the price of LineX or Rhino Liner.
