    Tank holder wing nut size?

    I was changing out the tank on my genesis 1000 today and the wing but on the arm bracket (with the scale) popped off and went between my deck boards. Gone. Anyone know exactly what size that wing but is? I'll have to order from Amazon. If rather not go to a hardware store right now...

    Grill light

    Two of three years ago we had a thread on here about grill lights. Several of us had bought the one below or the same or similar in another brand. There was a lot of discussion about how they would hold up. I only use mine about half the year when the days shorten putting it in storage the...

    Father's day grilling on a non Weber

    My father in law asked me to grill steaks and vegetables on his 3 year old Brinkman grill on Father's day. It was my first time grilling on a non Weber in several years. It was interesting. The good: the grill got plenty hot. The heat was fairly even. The grill flared up more than My genesis...

    Observations 3 years in

    I'm about 3 years into rehabbing 2 older weber genesis and using them extensively over that time. Last weekend I did a deep clean on both grills so I was able to inspect all parts thoroughly. Weber 1000. This was my father's grill. When I rehabbed this grill I went kind of crazy and pretty much...

    Why not stainless screws?

    When I rehabbed my father's old genesis 1000 and my free silver A a lot of the various screws were rusting. Especially on the 1000 which s older. I replaced most of them with stainless. In the process of the rehab on the 1000 I replaced the side and swing up table with new durawood ones. A few...

    New source for grates and flavorizors

    I was browsing on Amazon today and came across this Qulimetal brand of stainless grates and flavorizors. I've not seen them mentioned on this forum. They are priced pretty well especially if you have Amazon prime for the free shipping. Based on just the specs they look to be pretty good...

    Weber old igniter vs new

    One of the things I like best about the old classic webers is the old push button igniters. They are just so durable and reliable. My Silver A still has it's original igniter. And my dad's old 1000 still had its original igniter that was still functioning when I inherited the grill. I did...

    Covers for Weber grills

    Has anyone else had the problem of their grill cover causing paint wear at the corners of their grill or grills? I'm assuming it happens as the cover comes in and off. I've got that going on with my old genesis 1000. I can touch up the paint but it's still annoying and extra work I don't need...

    My area is NOT a hotbed for Weber CO bargains

    I'm amazed at the bargains some of you find in CL in other parts of the country. It just doesn't happen much here in SW Missouri. I'm not in the market for anything right now but I still like to look. For a while I was looking for my brother because his members mark went to the landfill after 3...

    Stainless steel and durability

    We have had some recent discussions on stainless steel and durability/corrosion resistance on this forum. I know that the lower grades of stainless just won't last like the better grades. I've seen it personally and read about it here and other places. But I had been under the impression that...

    Grease fire

    A few days ago I was cooking a tri tip on my genesis 1000 and had a grease fire. It was in the bottom tray. I didn't notice it at first because the old grill literally never flares up. I was kind of at a loss for what I should do? I ended up pulling the tri tip off and it did die down after a...

    How to lubricate manifold knobs?

    The burner control knobs on my weber genesis 1000 are sticking a bit. What's the best way to lubricate those 3 controls? I know it's been discussed somewhere but I can't find it.

    Grill gadget cleaner

    I have long worried about the wire bristle brushes commonly used to clean the grates of my two weber gas grills. Specifically the horror stories about a wire bristle coming off and getting in our food. As much as we grill I figured it was just a matter of time. While on vacation last fall we...

    Cover for genesis 1000

    Can someone who owns a genesis 1000 recommend a cover? Weber or other brand. If weber what is the item number? I'm currently using a generic cover from Sam's club that I had on my old deceased Kenmore. It works but is really a bit too big.

    Dad's old genesis 1000

    I've lurked on the site for several months. It has been a wealth of information on how to rehab old Weber grills. My story is kind of typical. Over my last 35 years of being a homeowner and being married I have always had a gas grill but I've gone through many of them. I'm guessing 8 or 9 total...
