The Weber performer kettle is fantastic w/o mods or accessories but today we “Pimp my grill” to create my dream Weber kettle grill. We change the color, the handle, add a Slow ‘n Sear, Grillgrate, BBQ Guru (partyQ), a decal, etc. Modifications are so much fun. Hope you enjoy this one and I hope you share yours next!

I have an 18 inch Weber kettle that I chose as a gift for a job well done at work a couple of years ago. The only upgrade I have is the food grate that hinges up on 2 sides to allow for charcoal tending during a cook. My star grill is a 25-year-old gasser Weber Genesis Silver B three burner with cast iron grate. I replaced the burner tubes once, the temperature gauge 3 times, the flavorizer bars a few times. I keep a cover on it and it stays on the screened in back porch. Every now and then I give it a pressure washing and it continues to perform like it was new. Weber builds a quality product that will give you a long grill life with reasonable care.
