Performer Year Range?

[John-NY]

Based on this photo alone, is it possible to determine the age of this Performer?

The two things that stand out to me are the little panel and the raised lip edge on the work surface.

Thanks!

Looks like third generation. 2010 to 2015. edit: 2014

Table looks plastic vs metal and the lid handle doesn't have the taco heat shield.

Tacos sound good. Steak? Pork or chicken...

Any thing but turkey tacos

I am with Dan only I thought metal table started 2015 I maybe wrong on this but it is in the 2010-2014 area more towards the 14 side as the lid bale is allowing the lid to go almost 90 degrees.
If good price drag that puppy home do some cleaning then get it dirty again your way, I like tacos....

I think you are right that the metal table is 2015 to current model. I updated my post above.

Also the pastic or fiber table has a 15 year warranty on it so if you register it at Weber they will replace it with a metal one if cracked while moving it around.
I have done that with them twice.

This 2nd pic was taken after I replaced the Lid with a Taco Shell Lid type and also, I upgraded it with a metal table

One of the quickest ways to tell at a glance which generation a Performer is is to look at the wheels.

Besides having a totally distinctive cart, an SSP has the classic insert-style wheel.

Gen 2 went to the scalloped insert, the same as on the closed-cabinet Genesis models from the early 2000s.


Gen 3 had that same style tire, but with a full face gray wheel cover. This is the same wheel that’s still used on Ranch Kettles.


And Gen 4 went to the rounded-shoulder tire, the same as what’s on 26” and Master Touch Kettles.
