I have a SS Performer with gas assist that has been used a lot, it's a DT code so 18 years old. 12 years ago I moved to a damp climate (West Scotland) and I thought it must have been dented during the move because I noticed the bowl starting to rust. It's been fine but recently has got much...

Just thought I'd mention it - the top tip to wire the charcoal ring to the grate is a winner tip. (Minion?) Mine has just failed after c 15 years - got to make good! Please don't ask me if it was stainless or galvanised wire - it was ages ago! Seriously the best mod ever = do it!

Ok I've seen people on here talking about how good Weber CS can be, of course that has always been in the US. Things are usually different here in the UK. Well after seven years of regular use and plenty of neglect one of the gas controls on my Gen Silver B suddenly froze. I rang Weber UK...

Hi, I've been meaning to post this for ages but had trouble posting the pic. I had given up on the ignition on my Gen silver and used a lighter through the hole. One day I decided to give her a spring clean and removed the grates and flavouriser bars to find a corroded igniter enclosure. It was...

I have a gen silver B and it's great apart from one fundamental fault - the regulator. I have two different gas hoses for my grill so I can use the two different types of propane cylinder here in the UK. The Weber supplied one is for clip fit (patio gas) cylinders. My other is for regular (POL)...

Related to this post OTS portable conversion I have landed myself a (very nice) 18.5" OTG from ebay and want to get the lid holder wire, fittings and notched handle so I can butcher it. Obviously I can some leg material here. I can't bring myself to cut the current legs down, that just seems...

Hi I have a hardly used go-anywhere. I became frustrated at the lack of space between the charcoal grate and the food grate. This results in food getting burnt unles I keep moving it around I'm thinking of a Smokey Joe as I believe they have a greater distance. Can anyone measure the grate to...

I've been mainly using the Genesis Silver for bacon, sausages and the like for us and the kids. I just boned out a few thighs for a quick lunch, dusted them and slammed them on. I looked out of the window at the usual smoke from thighs - fine. Just as I went to the grill to turn them over black...

I was looking for an extension lead to run out of the catflap for my Guru (actually for me BGE in this instance) and found one on amazon (2.1mm Socket to DC Power Extension Lead 5m). In trying to get the right size I discovered that my Weber rotisserie usues the same 12v connector (and it has a...

I mentioned in another thread that the European grills all seem to have handles that are bolted on with a heat shield affair rather than the welded on ones that I'm used to. I was wondering whether this was because they were made somewhere else.

I have had a charcoal go-anywhere that I got from ebay for some time, however I was a little irritated that the vents open up once it is all closed up which means it can spill ashes (or even re-kindle) once you pack it up. I recalled using my brother in law's before this and not having the same...

I've seen a lot of discussion here about the PCI grates but how do the standard "Porcelain-enameled Cooking Grates" compare. I saw someone saying these are coated steel. It's a chance to pick up a cheap Genesis silver B here in the UK and I wondered what the grate performance was like. I think...

I'm hoping this link will take you to my first pork shoulder smoke. For the record it was great - just had some from the freezer for lunch - but I've lost my cooking log. About 25hrs I think with no troubl;e keeping a steady temperature - great. The weather was overcast but windy so I put the...
