😲 How far is “Far, far away…”?

I think using a decent degreaser on the areas where you will be applying the gasket should do the trick. My experience, however, is limited to kettles.

The smaller two-burner Silver As sometimes don't get the respect they deserve. Just yesterday, I used mine instead of my 1st gen Summit and had a very happy cook: Well, if you don't like the controversial GrillGrate grates but love your 2-burner, here's a great chance to buy 9MM stainless rod...

That black one looks like a lucky survivor that was well cared for not needing much besides a cleaning. Amazing find! Troy, you and @Josh Dekubber are on your way to cornering the market on these often forgotten classics😎.

Nice save! Jrs. are a cool part of the Weber Genesis story. This is mine which actually dates to the very first few years when they were called the Genesis XXI: You can see that Steve is almost certainly right that the table that looks too large on the left was originally the flip up table...

Here is a very old picture of mine. When I bought it, someone had covered it with FLAT BLACK paint!

I believe there are several shades of maroon, wine or whatever you want to call it, that have been used by Weber over the years. I have one in my stash.

I don't see 9mm very often working out on a flip grill which is kind of a shame. I love my original 1st gen Summit grates (I believe they are the Weber 9930 that @Josh Dekubber refers to). I previously owned a set of "rcplanebuyer" Dave Santana grates on my Summit which I had bought without...

I admit that I am a hopeless collector and have a hard time not wanting to pursue the cooler old - and even some newer - Webers and a few PK and Broilmaster grills. Problem is that my work and family situation currently do not coincide with my aspirations. Thus too many projects not finished and...

I for sure would. I realize there are plenty of buyers who might not care enough to pay more, but I think adding that option would be a great way for Weber to stand out in quality in the eyes of many serious users of grills. If done right, I think it would sell very well. One of the biggest...

I think they look great and are an impressive improvement to your classic Broilmaster. That’s some very creative custom workmanship.👍

I agree about the painted metal flat bottom. I wish Weber would additionally offer a Platinum edition with real 304 stainless in place of the painted steel on that otherwise nice looking cart.

Look forward to following your restore on this one, Josh!

Steve’s are top notch the next time you need some.

Good to hear, Larry! I guess I haven’t used mine enough yet to fully gum it up, but cleaning tools like you linked will be on my near horizon. I have to say that these things have an amazing cooking ability. The Ninja FlexFlame full grill looks pretty inviting, even given the somewhat...
