red neck Kettle-serie

Salvaged a Performer and a spare mismatched lid with no handle and thermometer. Raided my parts bins and ended up with this 







So tempting to put the taters under the chicken!





Had more time today and got rid of the spaghetti wires

Excellent work.

Nice work! You do know they make a rotisserie kit? It has a spacer ring to raise the protein up a bit. Pretty cool though. The kit isn’t free by any means either.

Very well done !!!

Thanks all for the kind words. @pgprescott yes I know about it, I'm too cheap to splurge 250 loonies for a rotisserie kit on a salvaged kettle, plus it's boring. The satisfaction of jury rigging something is priceless

That's farkin' brilliant, Gary!!

The SS Performer is a nice addition. Love the SS work area it has.  And those old charcoal baskets are waaay better than the new ones they switched to a while ago.

Very nice looking bird, and nice mod.

BTW, I looked everywhere for one of those handles, but Weber doesn't make that part anymore, and it's a weird hole center.  I ended up having to fabricate one.

@caliking hard to believe, it's my first kettle! love the storage bin too.
@blasting that handle is a good candidate for 3D printing!  Speaking of handle, I made the kettle dome handle with a band saw in five minutes, still has sharp edges.
