Restoring old performer in the UK

Just try a mock up. Set it on there and see if you like it.

Here is a shot of the “angle” brackets that came with the “BBQMall” cart, they work pretty well, no drilling required!
Just did a little tweaking, I apologize for the dirty kettle!

The cart is very cool looking.

Thanks Mike, wife got it for me after I had been agonizing over a design for one for months, she just said, “Get it!”
then I didn’t have to think about how to build one. Better design than I had expected, Chinesium of course but, it’s proving to be quite good all in all.
I love my wife!

Hi all.

Just to update this. I have finally finished restoring the performer.

I picked it up for free locally to me, these are quite rare in the UK.

This is what it looked like:


I purchased a new set of 'Unknown BBQ' table mounting brackets which were a straight fit into the Weber trolley.

I had a mastertouch already with a spare bowl so decided to fit that into the trolley. I was tempted to fit the red kettle I have but had other plans for that.

This is how it turned out:


Very pleased with the results!

I had an old school red kettle aswell without the ash catcher. I wanted to add one and used the one I had on the original performer bowl. This kettle is from 1989 (the year I was born) and is in Fantastic condition.



Thanks all for your help and ideas.

Both turned out looking great. Time to light them up and get them dirty.

What improvement! They look sharp. They’re set for decades more of grilling enjoyment.

Good for you! That looks dandy!
