I found an offset yesterday for $50.00 that is about it.

I don't want it though so I passed the info on to a few others.

What area do yall look under for the BBQ pits ?
I've just been putting in "Weber grill" without specifying where to search. They show up in unexpected categories sometimes.

I 2nd that or just put in Weber cause sometimes a WSM might pop up!

That porterhouse just done just right. Are those cast iron grates on top of the regular grill?
That's a complete insert -- the wire grill is open in the center and only surrounds the iron.

(I'm gonna like this grill. :D )

can you snap a pic of the grate with the insert out?
I just happen to have such a pic. :D



First, the cast iron grate. Then the space it fills. Note the underslung rods it rests on. Next, same thing from the side. Last, an enameled, perforated steel tray (needs washing :roll:) that can fill the same space for stuff that would be harder to deal with on the grate. It's a 3-sided "box" -- the near edge is raised, the far edge flush, for spatulaing, I guess.

After Griff asked I started looking online, and I can't find this kind of setup for a Performer anywhere. One person on a board thought they were a Home Depot exclusive, but they're not there now, at least not online. I guess I got a special deal, huh? :D

Thats pretty neat...looks like a home fab job maybe...I have one of the preforated grates....and a couple of castiron grates for the chepo kingsford..the grill is on the flismy side but the grates were nice....

Wow, I've never seen one like that. Do the vents have one of those stamps that tell you the year of manufacture?
The guy I bought it from said about 8 years, so probably pre-2000. Other than the patent number on the top vent, the only number I notice is "8100" on the panel with the gas starter instructions. The grill's a one-touch, so there aren't any bowl vents. Anybody know where to look?

(Gotta tell ya, that cast iron grate is n-i-i-i-i-ce! :D )

The seller is not a home-fab kind of guy. Not that much into grilling, either.
