THANK YOU! Frustration hopefully cured in the morning.

I feel stupid even asking this question after restoring about 20 grills this summer...but I finally scored my late 80’s red head Genny and trying to bring it back to life. How in the heck do I get the durawood swing table off? Do I have to pop the end cap off somehow? I see the bracket the...

I do agree that the old push button igniters are definitely more reliable...too many times though, people just toss the electric ones and drop $30 on a new one. I’ve refurbished about 25 Webers this summer, and I’d say 60% of those had failed electric igniters...and I’m yet to purchase a...

One more question...looking for stainless steel bar grates for the rebuild for this 1000. Anyone have a seller they like that has good quality ones for non-Weber prices? Thanks a lot.

Thanks for all the responses. I’ve bought 4 of this exact model within the last week and I have everything I need besides the grease tray and z brackets. All of the grills I bought have these parts rusted out. I might have said drip pan, but I meant the larger metal grease tray. The cedar fence...

Hey guys. Does anyone have a really simple wood to buy that is the proper thickness to replace wood slats on a Genesis 1000 1995? I’ve made a few side tables but I’m looking to restore a red head to 100% original specifications. I’m looking for a relatively simple match if I could. Menards sells...

OK I know nothing about the Q. I mean, I've watched videos and know the main purpose and I see them selling on Craigslist and Marketplace for decent amounts but never rehabbed one. This one popped up on Craigslist today for $40. I've seen some on Facebook listed for 150+ but not sure if they...

Hey Guys...getting ready to make my biggest and final haul for a while. Going about 50 miles total to get a blue Genny with side burner (needs work), Amazing condition red head, and a stainless Genny gold model that is in really good shape. Grand total of $100 and change. Since they are all...

I offered him $25. He said “no.” Haha. I have a black Genny that has a big rusted dent in it. Other than that, it’s perfect. Might bite the bullet for $35 and do a swap. Might be fun to try to work my magic on the cart and see what I can do. $10 is a small amount of money to keep me from my...

40 minutes away. Should I pick it up or is it too much with all the missing parts? I’ve been looking for a blue lid so maybe worth it to just pick it up and swap out my black one that has a dent and rust? Thanks guys.

Thanks guys. I somehow found a used one on my local Craigslist for $10. It's an original Weber one for the early Genesis models that is in good condition and he is going to do $10 on it. I see the same ones are selling for quite higher on Ebay. I'm not sure what to do with the E300 one...I...

Hey guys...looking for a couple rotisseries... I am first looking for one for my Genesis Silver. Weber says I need the 7659 but was wondering if anyone had luck with one from Amazon that is a little cheaper and could point me in the right direction. Second one I need is for my E-310 Copper...

I already knew I was going to have to do that, haha. But on the frame, where the repainted black is peeling off, the frame of the cart is pretty rusted. You don’t think it would be better to Bondo that, get it nice and flush, and then paint? I feel like if I just paint directly over the rust...

Hey guys. Picked up a 310 2007 Copper. Has rotisserie attachment but no roti. Got it for $150 and thought I had gotten pretty lucky. Stainless steel grates are pretty good still and box/lid are in great shape. Cons: frame has lots of rusted spots, one of the casters fell off as I was unloading...

LMichaels, thanks for the reply. I probably won't go through the trouble to sand blast them. I have an air compressor and I will make sure to get them nice and cleaned out... As far as the brake cleaner spray, I don't really like to put anything in my grill that has a potential to transform...
