what is the anti-seize product everyone speaks of?

Thanks Bruce! I actually already own that set. I use it to punch out the draft holes on my UDS Smokers. For the price they're amazing.

Brian- Yeah mine screw in. I'm still decidign whether or not to just get a regular bolt to screw in there or drill it out like LMichaels says. part of me want to do as little modification as possible. I'll figure it out when i finally get the front burner out from under the *&^% guide bolt!

Thanks! Now just to start deep cleaning, painting and sourcing some brackets for the side table. Hopefully will have her all ready to cook in a week.

Correct, the burner won't slide out from under the bolt on the left, front side. It did slide out on the back burner.

Finally got the screws out of the manifold bracket. I was having a really hard time figuring out how to get a hold of the paddles on the screws under the bracket, finally figured out that a 17mm socket fit pretty snug over it and was able to turn them out. So at this point the entire grill is...

I hope mine comes out even close to as nice!

Great! Thanks! Where is everyone hosting their pics so they can post them in the forum?

Thank you everyone! I finally was able to get the knobs off. I had to reach under the panel and pull down on the manifold while pulling up on the knobs to get them off. Where would I get new SS nuts and bolts for this project. The ones on the hood are bolts with a flat, flush round head that...

Hello all! I was given a 1993 Genesis 1000 Redhead that is in pretty darn good condition. very little rust anywhere, just needs some TLC, new flavorizer bars and grates, and some fresh paint to loook like new. Also, I will need to source the brackets for the side table. It came with the...
