    Big Change(s) at Weber - From sizzle to fizzle

    I miss the simplicity of the older Genesis Silver series. Easy to assemble and replace parts. Even cooking. Last forever. Nothing fancy. Just hope Weber doesn’t view their grills as short-lived, expendable items like kitchen and laundry appliances.

    This may be the wrong group to ask...

    I grill lots of vegetables (not eggplant) along with meat/poultry/fish, etc. I guess my grilled Mexican street corn will be banned. Some processed food I won’t grill, but wow, a grilled Spam & hamburger w/pepper jack cheese & pineapple is great!

    If I Was Going to Buy New

    Not to offend Weber gasser owners, but I may move on to something else. I had a Silver B that I ran into the ground after 23 years. Anythying that mooed, clucked, oinked, flopped (fish) or vegetables/fruit came out perfect. I replaced it with a Spirit II E-310 LP two years ago and can honestly...

    Indirect heat on Spirit II 310

    First make sure the lid will close on the Spirit II E-310 with a whole turkey either placed north/south or east/west. I have the same grill and shut off the middle burner and set the outside burner to medium/medium low with a target temp of 350-400 degrees. I generally use the 11-13 minutes per...

    What is your favorite chicken part to grill?

    Bone-in thighs with skin, leg quarters, spatchcocked whole chicken, and skin-on split chicken breasts (bone in). I’m terrible at skinless chicken breasts though.

    Crock pot pork shoulder pulled pork recipes?

    We were able to get two 10 lb pork shoulders last month at a very good price. We cut each in half - 5 lbs apiece. Looking for your crock pot recipes so we can make pulled pork sandwiches this Sunday. Thanks.

    Anybody move out of state and take their Weber gasser with them?

    The Misses won. We're moving to Florida from Nebraska. I have a 1 1/2 year old Spirit II E-310. Should I sell it or clean/pack it in a PODS/U-Pack with our other stuff? I know I can't take the propane tanks. Could be a good excuse for a new Genesis II E-310, but I think I already know her answer. :(

    How cold is too cold for a gasser?

    OK, what's the lowest outside temperature you all have grilled with a gasser? I love to grill, but when it's cold outside I tend to opt for the crock pot or oven. Let's hear from those hardy northern tier folks!

    Grill Rescue Brush

    Has any one bought one of these http://thegrillrescue.com Little pricey. Looks like the Grill Rescue brush might be made of fire hose or fire fighters clothing material. With the paranoia on bristle brushes, I would like to search for safer alternatives. I've used a ball of foil and water to...

    Weber Spirit II E-310 Left Fold Down Table - Poor Design

    Purchased new pre-assembled Spirit II E-310 the other day. So far, great grill. But...the left fold down table design leaves something to be desired. Moving the grill is awkward. Table disengages when trying to lift. No handles to lift the grill and roll it around. Any tips/tricks or a way...

    To paint or not paint Silver B?

    Finally got the 2001 Silver B out from underneath the snow drift here in Nebraska. Took a look at the grill and not in that bad of shape. The infamous cross member has some rust but not all the way through. I think trying to take the left side cross member bolt out of the cook box is beyond...

    2018 Done, 2019 Getting Started

    How did you explain the need to Weber? I would love to have a new box and lid for my 2001 Silver B rehab this spring. I’m afraid I’ll have to cut the bolt from the cross member and box and may not be able to drill out the bolt hole in the cooking box. Just wishin’

    Best grill cleaner?

    With all the BBQ cleaners out there, is there any one good cleaning product that does a decent job on the interior/exterior cooking box/enamel lid? I’m refurbing a Silver B and really don’t have the time to blast or use a drill/wire brush. Too many choices with all mediocre reviews. Thanks-

    Weber Genesis Silver B frame cross member rust restoration project

    Hey, can I cut the cross member out with a hack saw or rotary Dremel tool? I'll get killed if I buy another power tool. Thanks-
