Probably specific to Ace. Weber has done this in the past and made exclusive colors to resellers such as Ace or Crate&Barrel.

The question is also: Did you run the test with or without flavorizer bars? That makes a big difference on the lid thermometer since your radiant heat is much higher initially without.

I used a strip of cedar on one of mine. You can get them from HD or Lowes for much cheaper than that handle. I used the same strips for the table slats. You can also keep an eye out for the old style handle with the integrated lights (#9057). They show up on ebay once a while. There also have...

But be aware: You can no longer get parts for these. Even "consumables" like the burners are no longer available. Flavorizer bars and grates can be cut to size.

Like this Genesis Junior, which has been on ebay since at least 2 years.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Weber-Genesis-Junior-Grill-1980s-vintage-rare/183764429294?hash=item2ac936a9ee:g:aKUAAOSwQ5VcY0mG

That is funny. This might have been the first reasonable rehab candidate this year. Last year and the year before I could find plenty of free and $20-$30 grills. At peak times I had 10 or more grills sitting in my driveway at any given time. This year hardly any cheap ones showed up. Not that I...

According to the seller it is in near perfect condition.

Wow. Did you find this here in the Dallas area? I am in Plano but stopped restoring several months ago.

Post your request in the gas grill forum. There is a bunch of folks hoarding parts.

You may want to post it in the gas grill forum since there are lot of folks restoring old gassers. Maybe someone has that part. If not you maybe out of luck. Most parts for these old 1st Gen Summits have been discontinued and are longer available. These Summits are famous becoming a money pit.

Another option would be to call Weber Canada. Maybe they have reasonable shipping costs.

You can still get these: https://www.ereplacementparts.com/manifold-bracket-p-1476272.html

These are beautiful grills. Really great job.

Sorry to hear but interesting to read. I was always wondering how rust resistant these new metal tables would be. I really like the the Thermaplastic tables. Although they tend to scratch easy and don't look that nice they are pretty weather resistant. And as long as you don't put too much...

This is so true. Especially here in the Dallas-Ft.Worth Metroplex.

The Skyline I restored also had the deep fire box.

The lids with the studs also have the advantage that you can use SS 1/4" bolts and nuts. For the lid panels with the integrated bolt stems you have to use the self cutting nuts and I could not find any of these in SS.

Looks like that grill wasn't used that much and also possibly stored in a dry area. Even before cleaning they looked decent. Not much grease and no rust. I had a lot of grills with these type of grates and most of these grates were trash. Crusted, lots of rust and many broken welds. Even soaking...

This is so cool. Thanks for sharing. I love it. It would be interesting to see how it holds up under sun light. But anhow that has given me some idea for a project.

Also this looks like a Weber 1000 with the deep firebox. This firebox will not fit into the frame of a Silver. Although the grills look similar there is a slight difference between the x000 models (13 flavorizer bars) and the Silver/Gold models (5 flavorizer bars).
