I noticed how popular the go anywhere seemed to be with Phubar and the Dutch brethren. Wonder if it's true for the whole of the Netherlands. I also found the Australians love of the Q grills interesting.

Nice rehab Hank! I got mine the same way. Guy said it didn't work anymore and I wound up getting it for free. I had to replace the battery and the regulator. Weber replaced it for free! I haven't had the thermometer get much higher than 550 myself. I did a nice job nonetheless. Happy...

I hope I'm not splitting hairs, but I don't think there is such a thing as indirect grilling. Grilling is the application of direct heat. Now indirect cooking is a different subject. I only have a q220 and it does not have independent burners. I have set up an indirect cooking method by...

I got out the Q this weekend and practiced some techniques for future camping trips. I heated the grill to 325, placed a cast iron griddle on the grates to act as a heat sink, place a raised grate over that, and put on a small cookiesheet with chocolate chip cookie dough on the grate. 10...

Just swapped out the old regulator for with a new one. It lit right up. I takes a little while to get up to temp but it looks to be a nice little unit.

I learned the hard way with the old serial numbers. Never spray the unit down until you have had a chance to get the numbers off. I tried to wipe off dirt and watched the whole number go with it. I'll post some shots of my most rehab shortly.

Thanks Rob, I don't have the hose. I'm running of a small tank. I had flame all around so I'm assuming that clogging is not the issue. I'll give your solution a try and post my results.

I cleaned up the Q I picked up and got it to light. It began heating up and I intended to burn off the grill grates. I stepped away for a bit and came back to find it off. I then could not get it restarted. Anyone else had these problems? Any solutions?

I recently picked up a 220 off of craigslist for the low, low price of nothing. It's not running yet. Does the starter make any noise or clicking? It's quiet now. How can I date the grill if I need replacement parts?

I'm in the process of rehabbing a Genesis Silver C I pulled out of a trash pile. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best type of paint for the lower cookbox?

Yeah, I'm getting nervous. I still have a month to get this together. I'm planning on both marinating and basting. My big concern is how to adjust the salt and spice levels. I'm sure I don't want to ramp up the salt just by doubling, quadrupling, etc. I just wondered if there is some rule...

I want to make RS Chicken for a school barbecue. Does anyone have thoughts on how to multiply the recipe to do 180lbs of leg quarters?

Here are some before photos of the project. Can anyone give me tips on removing the wheels and the flip up top? Performer Restoration 1 Performer Restoration 2 Performer Restoration 3

Thanks for the replies. I wound up putting a piece of pipe on the handle which gave me some torque to pop the blade attachment free. Then I put some pliers on the cathcer handle and twisted it free after five minutes. I've got everything off. Now I need to call Weber to get new parts.

Thanks Rich. It looks like I have the 92-94 model which has an ash catcher support bar. The catcher handle won't even budge it's so rusted.
