haha. exit 90 Bill. i'm on the shore. oddly. i too lived in camden county for decade before moving back to the shore. the ocean pulls you back, but it's hell on these grills.

i literally just gave my restored 1000 to a family member as a housewarming gift. it still grills like a champ at 23 years young. i have a 2001 gold b as my main grill. that particular model is still my fav and it is a 5 bar style. i have owned newer ones up to a 2012 genesis. my father in law...

that's a good point. i'm going to degrease it and scrub it down. if it checks out i can focus on making it look good. i'm normally not even concerned with keeping them. i have never done a built in. but my wife loves the idea. and an almost free one is better than 2k. i will keep up on the...

am i crazy to build this into an outdoor kitchen? should i sell it for parts and just buy new in this situation? i am concerned with possible rust issues and the fact that it is not a standard size. or does anyone think that it will be fine if i just conceal the bottom by facing it and adding...

i know i'm new here. but i would stick w the generation of genesis before that one. the cabinets in those late 2000s models are garbage. and they are really not worth fixing once they rot. i come across them curbside all the time. people don't even take them. they aren't the best weber design. i...

if the tank of gas is on and the manifold is all off and it makes that noise you have a leak. don't be stingy w soap. use a little dawn and mix it w water. pour it all over that regulator and the top of the tank. it's coming from somewhere. if it only does it w one tank then i would take the...

to answer the question. i modified nothing. the new tables fit perfectly on the old frame. weber seemed to have kept standard dimensions on the genesis grills until the mid 2000s. the flip up table requires a slight modification to get it to stay in an upright position. nothing a little L...

wow. i think i do have the original table hardware. message me if you want info. really send your address. i have a lot of access to weber supplies.

wow. i just restored a red one. my .02 is to make sure the knobs all turn easily and order a new set of burner tubes and an igniter set on .Amzn. give it a good shop vac inside the box and scrape the soot off of the inside of the hood. it's not paint don't worry. the rest really is up to you. as...

hi everybody. i'm new here but have been restoring these things for a while. my latest was kind of a rush job for a family member. i frankensteined a redhead because they like the newer style tables on my genesis gold b. i'm proud of it tho. people who have seen it already "want a red one".

i would pay nothing for a used redhead. chances are that the only thing you are actually getting is the top. the manifold is old and the rest of it is fairly easy to find in a newer state. if i really wanted it maybe 40 bucks

i second the simple green and steel wool. i just restored a redhead and it worked like a charm.

hello everyone. i am new to the forum but hope i can get some insight here. i have restored many weber genesis and a few spirit gassers. my lucky find this year was a 2012 summit 460 ng. it has salt water damage to the bottom so i am thinking i will build it into an outdoor kitchen and use my...

hi to all. i got into restoring webers and just found out that there are more people who do it as well. hope i can learn a thing or two. i am also in a really lucky spot where webers tend to get trashed and replaced often. i'm always on the lookout for a new project. i am switching to a summit...
