Great advice, Steve. Yah, I would definitely go along with the idea of just repainting your wheels. The front one in the picture looks to be fully intact. I am betting someone can help you with a decent used igniter switch.

That sounds like the best plan! Plus, you can fuel your Weberitus!!

I think Dan’s method is the best option. It was good of him to share his experience. If you want to add a little spizazz maybe paint the kettle red as some of us do.

I have never seen that one before. Very cool and unusual one, Josh!

Paul, Yes, I at least got that done. My wife helped me on Photoshop morph the logo to the early one used on this gas kettle cart.

Paul, Very glad you are rescuing this one. I know you will make it look like new again. :coolkettle: As usual, work and family issues have gone against me, but here is one teaser picture of the gas kettle cart grill in progress. When I finally get closer to completion (Spring?🥵), I will start...

I think you are probably right on the flip aspect, Cody, although I know @Bruce restored and flipped one. Maybe he can weigh in. To me, this is more of a collector gem like what @Mark AU has done with his. It would certainly be a nice centerpiece if you have room for grills just to look at.

Sounds like potentially a good fix. I have only done one Genesis II, but those plastic table end caps do bring a challenge.

Ralph, I might be able to help you with a round grate the right size. I need to go measure.

That’s the one that @Mark AU said got the most attention at his recent event at a Weber company store in Australia🇦🇺. Of course, his was meticulously and beautifully restored. I hope someone saves this one :coolkettle: .

They are such effective grills but seem to be the homely sister that never gets a date:(.

I agree with Larry, at least to the extent that Eastwood is a much better product. That hasn't stopped me from using Rustoleum Rust Reformer, most of the time at least satisfactorily. $15 a can sounds pretty good for the Eastwood, though. I will just add that I personally had difficulty keeping...

Larry, I believe what Mark did was bring some of his restored grills to display at a Weber owned company store. It looks very similar to the one I went to in Germany. I think they were having a special event since it is spring there.

That sounds like a great time of a weekend. I wish we had Weber stores here in the US. I was blessed with the opportunity to visit one in Germany six years ago. I thought the kettle display with both the US stars and stripes and the all blue one with the Southern Cross made a stunning pair. Can...

That’s some good research there, Josh!
