Very nice! I'm sure that anything you come up with will last longer than the ABS plastic parts that the support rod slides on!

KellyMC, here is the support rod and brace that you are looking for: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/slide-bar-assembly-lefthand-side-p-1476294.html The frame depth is the same on the the 1100 as it is on the Genesis 1. In fact, I have been ordering 1100 parts for my Genesis 1 and everything...

Thank you! Mserke, the handle isn't perfect not as nice as the original in terms of quality. I need to source some wood with the same or nearly the same color and grain as the cedar, it seems to be very much the same as the original, but being such a soft wood it is hard to work with. I just...

Ed, I'm happy to hear they arrived! I don't know how long they will last, being that they are just printed onto sticker paper. I sprayed mine with clear coat before applying it to the grill frame, and hoping that might prolong the life of it. I also keep my grill covered. It spent it's entire...

I found the serial, and something even better! I had to go to my parents house to do some repairs to the garage door, and I found the original owner's manual! Not just the owners manual though, but a serial number sticker, taped to the front upper right corner in the "Serial Number" box of the...

Thanks Glen! Andrew, that looks just like mine. It's hard to tell from the picture but does yours have two or three burners? I have three on mine, but that looks IDENTICAL to what I have, in every way, minus the control panel cover. As dirty as yours is in that picture, that's how mine looked...

Thanks, Bob! I do have one question, any ideas what model I have? I haven't yet found any documentation on it, odd since my dad keeps receipts for everything dating back to the early 80s. I keep thinking Genesis, but haven't had any lucking seeing anything with a wire rack to the right of the...

Alrighty, here are some pictures of the restoration. Just waiting for the warming rack and the swing table and I will be done for now! Also need to get some drip pans, it looks like.... Cooking grates are not new, but they have less than 20 hours of cook time on them since they were replaced...

Thanks ya'll! Bob requested the raw file/JPEG that I made for the label, to be printed. If you plan to use it, do not use any other scaling options for printed size. The JPEG is scaled to the same size as the original tank gauge sticker, at 15/16" x 4". If you have the original sticker (but...

I inherited the family Red Head Weber last month, when my dad decided it was time for a new Spirit E-310. He bought this Red Head in the late 80s or so, from what he can remember. It had sat outdoors, uncovered, on the covered patio for the past 25+ years. Through-out that time, the flavorizer...
