She's a beauty! You are going to love it. How do you like that new bolt on handle? I had Weber send me out a replacement lid and it came with the bolt on handle. Kind of weird but it seems sturdy.
I posted this on another thread but I thought I'd cross post in here as well...
I figured something out tonight. This may be common knowledge but I sure didn't know it. I had an old 22.5 cooking grate that was rusting out. It fits almost perfectly on the charcoal grate of 26.75 so I laid it perpendicularly to save charcoal and prevent large chunks for clogging the ash sweeper. Works great.
Shawn,
If you look up a few posts, you can see the bolts on the picture of the grill with the lid up. I'd take more pictures if you want them but I think that picture pretty much tells the story.
ive been on the hunt for a 26 for the last 6 months. I think i would sell my performer for one. I wish they would make a 26 performer. that would be ideal!!
