I picked up a free Performer (included new OEM timer module) - the ash sweeper is pooched (I already ordered and received an Amazon replacement). The metal table top is rusty - I plan on sanding it and repainting. What's the best/closest to OEM rattle can paint to use? The BBQ is from this era

I own 3 TEC infrared grills (a Patio 2 , a Sterling and a Sterling 2 FR) and they are great for grilling steaks and chops. They sell dirt cheap because nobody seems to know what they are - so they sit on FBM until it's ridiculously cheap. My latest acquisition was the Sterling for $75.

I just picked up a Weber Performer with gas assist - needs a bit of cosmetic work as you can see in the photo and a new one touch ash cleaning system. The person who gave it away included a BNIB replacement OEM Timer. Worth the 1 hr drive from home. The nice fellow even helped me load it.

The hose side.

I have 2 Weber Gassers. a Summit Platinum D6 NG in perfect condition that I use Spring/Summer/Fall and a Genesis S320 that is my "Winter Beater" along with my TEC Sterling 2. Every Spring in prep for putting the S320 away for the year, I clean the BBQ with grill cleaner and power wash all the...

I am going to bump my own thread - I managed to scoop a bargain yesterday TEC Sterling II - in great shape (but filthy with years of grease inside) + a Weber Genesis E-310 in decent shape - even the ignitor works on all 3 burners but filthy with grease. Both BBQ's are missing the side shelves +...

The demand is low (at least here in the Torontp area). I picked up a Q2400 with cart for $20 CAD - it was in good condition. It sat on FBM for weeks with the price dropping $20 every couple of weeks - when it hit $25 - I offered the guy $20 and scooped it up.

Picked up . The purchaser was specifically interested in the 2 cabinet doors.

So I spent a couple of hours attempting to repair the severely damaged cookbox bottom and gave up - the tear was not worth repairing. I had a partially restored D3CP (painted black metal cart with wooden shelves and a sticker based control console) - I turned 2 duds into one half decent grill (I...

Update - sold all as a lot for $100 after contact by lots of lowballing timewasters.

I picked up a Propane Genesis 330 with a cabinet in the worst condition I have ever seen - the floor was completely rotted out, the corner square tubes were rusted out, there was a hole in the corner of the aluminum cook-box bottom, the porcelain steel plates that sit under the burners were just...

Exactly - I bought this stuff at Costco Business outlet in Toronto: https://www.zumzum.ca/costco/delivery/chimisol-heavy-duty-grill-cleaner-2129-html?gclid=CjwKCAjwhJukBhBPEiwAniIcNXT91ctrebR5WoAmTYjKD6DExDBP8w98NNl9OnLRYA0dwDVMABM1DhoCDWYQAvD_BwE I does a wonderful job but you have to wear...

I am going to wander the aisles of the local Home Depot to see what I can MacGyver.

I am thinking of using a fender washer on the inside and outside of the cookbox to sandwich the damage between and support the shelf - I had a look at the local hardware store and they have 1.5 inch 3/8" bolt washers available that may do the job and they will be relatively hidden.

I picked up a P3 Ducks Unlimited NG this week for $0 - it needs work, the previous owner bent the left hand shelf bracket and partially ripped the bolt out of the bottom cook box - I haven't decided if I should patch the partial tear with a fender washer or use the grill as a donor for parts...
