My lovely bride was in Home Depot when she saw a black Performer Premium marked down to something like $225. She decided to buy it for me and sent me a message about the purchase. I was shocked to say the least (she is just that awesome).
When I stopped to pick it up on my way home from the office, I finally got to inspect it. It was obviously the floor model so it's been molested pretty good. But there were some things missing that I couldn't put my finger on. But I decided to load it up in the truck to get it to the house and see what I'm in for. But I should have known that I was in for a project when we were loading it into the truck and one of the 8" wheels feel off (no hub cap/retainer) and the wheel cover was broke.
After getting it home and locating the manual online, I went through each assembly step to narrow down everything I needed to get. What I ended up with was a list of 11 different small parts (in quantities of 1 & 2) that are needed to get it assembled and ready to go. It is also missing the duel charcoal baskets but I already have a pair of those for my Kettle. I tried to find the parts online but they availability is limited so I'm going to call Weber customer service today and see what they can do for me.
I guess if I get a price from Weber on the replacements and it's less than the cost of a new one, I'm going to keep it.
So what say the Pit? Get the parts and make it whole or return it and get a NiB Performer and save the hassle?
Oh, and Happy Friday!
