Chris did a great write up on it here: http://virtualwebergasgrill.com/2014/06/restoring-the-weber-emblem/ It's pretty easy and has a huge impact!

That's exactly it! Nice, Dave, thank you!

Nope, the certification is tied to the stamped metal date code on the metal shroud protecting the valve. It is suggested to remove the label around the 'belly' as it promotes rust by trapping water against the tank body. Sounds like you are good! What is a 'good price'? I frequently see...

Good Morning Fellow Afflicted - My inlaws have been in town helping with the baby, and man we are so thankful. In the days before they came out, my wife mentioned how her dad is having trouble with his no-name grill (won't get hot enough, bad igniter, birds keep trying to nest in it???)...

Galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals definitely is a thing, and specifically is between stainless steel and aluminum - IF they are in the presence of an electrolyte. This is why pipefitters install dielectric unions in hydronic piping systems, like where copper pipe connects to a water...

Great follow-up, thanks Chris. So she used the original wood. Do we know what wood came with these grills originally?

Wonderful job!! Can you ask her about the wood selection and stain color? They are PERFECT and I need them on my 2000!

This was posted 15 minutes ago: https://denver.craigslist.org/zip/d/free-weber-grill/6596389462.html It's the opposite direction from my way home from work! If I didn't already have a redhead lid and a PILE of grills at home I could be convinced, but between that and my *very* recent...

Wow, looks delish Jon. Two thoughts: First, I also dove deep in the archives on a quest to discover if the cast iron was meant to be flat or pointy side up. I seem to remember it was put to bed with a dude who contacted Weber directly, and the response was flat side up, such that the downward...

BEAUTY! Yum

Imgur is great, but sucks on mobile. On desktop, once you upload, click on your photo and a little flyout menu offers multiple sharing options. Copy the link for bulletin board sharing, paste into your post. Easy peasy. On mobile they have an app apparently, but I don't use it. I just tell...

Agree - First thing I do is pop the hinge pins and remove the hood. Then all loose parts go in the hood; cook grates, flavorizers, wire racks, side tables, under tables / racks ; if it comes off without tools, into the hood. That way you're dealing with more just the bulk factor of the frame...

Shame on you, Bruce, for sharing a totally sweet tip with fellow enthusiasts who appreciate it as much as you, thanks to our shared passion! On Reddit, when someone posts a link to a cool lesser-known website that suddenly drives so much web traffic that the site crashes, they call it the "hug...

Guilty. I paid 36 shipped for one set. I guess we shouldn't be so surprised that the law of supply and demand is alive and well.
