Your forever grill is a beauty. Really nice job

Well, I live outside of Detroit. I know about the industrial areas and pollution. Look up Zug Island. That’s why I head way up North anytime I can.

Oh I thought you were getting the grills from AZ. I think one of the biggest factors with certain components is keeping the grill clean. A bad design, is a bad design and those lead to failures no amount of cleaning will help. But for things like drip pans, trays, FBs, burners, etc. cleaning...

🤣 I have to remember to use that rationale when explaining my condition. You do have to be smart and saavy. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m either on the start of this journey. I have a lot to learn. I’m going to really take a look at this grill to the point where I want the guy to be annoyed...

🤣 I think I need a second opinion

Thanks Jon. I am reading your rebuild thread now. WOW! Meticulous work and dedication. Very impressive. I seen your solution with the SS plates, I will definitely reach out if/ when needed. I am going to take a nice drive down the coast this afternoon and take a look at this grill. If the...

I just found your restore thread on the summit 450, @Jon Tofte. I’m going to take a look at it and gather what I can from it. Whew. From what I seen so far, this is a totally different animal than the genesis X000s.

Thanks @Jon Tofte. I’m going to take a ride to take a look at this grill today mostly because it’s a nice ride down the coast of Lake Michigan (1 hour drive from where I am today) and out of curiosity. Bruce mentioned that these grills are hard to get parts for and can be an expensive rebuild...

I just took a look at some old threads and it sounds like it has a 4 piece fire box. If that’s bad your deep into your pockets. Does anyone happen to know if this is 1st gen or 2nd gen?

Thoughts on this 4 burner Summit? I absolutely know nothing about these. I think Chris Allingham has one. Looks older but seller says it’s in good shape. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

WOW that’s incredible, Josh!!! If I didn’t see those pictures I would not have believed you could receive such a sparkling finish.

Sizzle Wizard. 😂

I’m with you, Josh. I enjoy being meticulous with projects on my own timeline. Once I get done I can sit back and say I did the best with my ability. I can be honest with myself and know I didn’t cut any corners. I think you convince me to skip the sandblasting and use the wire brush. I may...

Thank you Bruce. I may ask if he’ll do it for $50. If I decide to go the sandblasting route I’ll let you know what I find out.

Are you saying @Josh Dekubber permanently smells like a cookout? Seriously, this will be my personal grill. Learning along the way to maybe flip a few a year but don’t know enough yet. As we all know, this hobby can get to be a little expensive if we don’t watch ourselves.
