I have refilled lots of the disposable 1lb'ers but find the seal at the top often start to leak. I have tried to lubricate them with minimal success. I wound up buying a 4 pack of the metal screw on tops with a seal and they do work. The flame king has never leaked.

You can also buy these as they are approved to be refilled.

I bend the bracket around the original mount instead of welding like Bruce did. In fact I am doing another igniter hack on the Alfresco I am working on.

Funny - My memory must be shot as I had even liked and commented on that YouTube video. Very similar to the Wolf igniter hack I did back some time ago.

Wow - Looks like it belongs there inside! It is nice when things are built to last, even if they need some help along the way. Nice work.

Yes I tried one of these and did not like it. It did not get hot enough as it is so high and stuff kept falling in the front trough. I sold mine. I like either a cast iron or high carbon steel one that sits on the grates.

You have a link to that igniter hack? I tried the build thread but did not see it. https://tvwbb.com/threads/05-summit-platinum-genesis-platinum-frankengrill-build-thread.85861/page-6

Wow - Really outstanding. You may want to take that Mastertouch just for parts and test cooks to see how you like it. Depending on what parts are good you may be able to turn a standard kettle into a MT?

This is a picture of my setup. I had just a capped 1/2" pipe. I h

Sounds good but why are you waiting on quick connects? I bough a bunch for my back porch from Amazon and got them in a day. I have a heater, generator, and grill all hooked up to a 3 way to my home propane tank. Same connections.

Bummer too much work for a trade or flip. If you were closer I would suggest bringing it to Tom Horseman (YouTube channel) to add to his "Land of Grills" as he has a lot of lost classics.

Brining in sweet tea is a new one on me.

I liked the 2 burner Genesis except the rotisserie was mounted so low I had to have the right shelf in the folded position. What I don't get is why you would have to mode the Q to use a 20lb tank as a $12 simple hose is all you need...

Thanks - Very helpful explanation. What a fun grill.

Would love to see some pics and a little write up with the results when you do the cook. It has been extensively tested here that to get crispy skin you will have to end the cook higher than 325 though. Maybe a little direct fired action at the end by removing the deflectors would do it up...

Do you have an El Patron? That is not the way I would cook it. He can start off at 250° or so but if cooked the whole way you get rubber for skin. I continually raise the temps until it is mid 400-500° at the end and you wind up with a juicy bird with a crispy skin. There is a whole very...

That is really interesting. I am really surprised that the UK has a crossover and the US does not! I usually soak in PBBlaster a few times overnight and use vise grips. If that fails torch it until red hot and use vise grips. If that fails grind it flat and redrill.

Great job. This really does seem like it could be the perfect kettle. The 2 features I would like to see in a weber is a flip up lid (they tried this with a Mastertouch and the hinge did not work great) and being able to move the charcoal higher and lower for searing / smoking. The one thing...

Thanks - The basics of all gas grills are the same so there's that. So far it could use new burners as there is a tiny hole in the bottom of each one, missing briquet diffusers and holders, and the igniters and system are kind of toast. I found an aftermarket set of burners, briquets, and...

I had decided against it and he offered it to me for free....so I had to get it. Was not even that heavy after stripping it all the way down. It was a little tough to dislodge it from the dirt it was in. Also had a full compliment of ants that made it home. I have a feeling it may even be...
