I think it’s flame impingement on the porcelain enamel firebox that’s causing the issue. It’s common on devices where the flames contact the metal. Woodstoves, furnaces and boilers can suffer from it. The porcelain enamel and iron substrate expand and contract at different rates and eventually a...

Get a food grade Sharpie for grill lines

I would contact Weber immediately as you are the original owner. Firebox should not have burn through holes or rot holes

Awesome thanks Josh. The wooden handles are charred and a couple of gouges in the porcelain but structurally looks ok. It doesn’t look to hard to clean up

Hi All, Do any of you Coleman aficionados know about this firepit? Looks to be well built and in decent pre-restoration shape. Is it missing anything major? Thank you

The knobs are a generic replacement set. Same stem dimensions as the Weber’s from that era.

That’s crimson not red. Like a cranberry color

Probably spider web or nest somewhere in the manifold assembly restricting gas flow.

My guess is an aftermarket burner that goes on the left side of the main grill

Hi, Why are there flavor bars over the IR burner? I would think it puts out radiant heat like a broiler

I picked up the same grill for free with the same issues last night. I done them before and have extra parts so I will be ok. I prefer the newer Genesis C and B frames. The old x000’s and B and C’s are kind of rickety. I usually weld the frames to stiffen them up. But if you like wood and red...

Hi Scott, it looks like there may be issues with the grease pan and catcher on that one. The frame looks ok. The grill is very dirty from use which tells me it wasn’t maintained well. I would be ok buying it without the tank for around $20 to $40. I’d be more comfortable taking for free...

Thank you for adding the final step in the process. I was wondering why I wasn’t succeeding

That’s fade. It almost looks like a mica type finish on the porcelain. I believe it was a result of the manufacturing process where something got into the porcelain mix. I restored one earlier in the summer and you can see the sparkling lid and me in the reflection The person who took the...
