Unfortunately the grill market here doesn't support anything other than a fully functional restoration. I just sold a nearly a flawless Made in USA Genesis with flip out side tables for $150 and it took me 3 months to get that. Most of what I salvage ends up going to family and friends as...

Wow. Never expected this thread to go 13 pages lol. Glad other people found Broilmasters that worked for them. Unfortunately mine went to the curb this AM for the scrap guys. It was one issue after another. - Replaced the burner but was unable to remount it due to broken off screws in the...

Thanks for the info. I've seen the bow on the front, but never on the side. The flavorizor theory makes sense. I bet the fact that it is natural gas has something to do with it too. Prolonged run time is much easier when you have an unlimited supply of gas. Guess I'll swap the valves to my...

Any idea what causes it? I've dealt with bowed front, but never there. Is it a structural concern? I'd assume at this point if it was going to fail it would have

It has been lean times here for grills and the pricing is just hardly viable for a flip that requires anything more than a polish and paint. I came across this Genesis Silver. Natty Gas. Side burner. Great. BUT the firebox has a huge bulge in the side. Not sure how they managed it, but it...

Awesome to see. Great work. One day I'll have one too. Thanks for the inspiration.

Grills here are toast in the salty air. I have found that a good prep, 2x coats Rusto primer and then 2-3 coasts of Rusto paint (all Rust STopper) will hold up for about 2 years on a bottom panel and damn near forever on the sides. At $8 for both cans at Lowe's I'm happy with that result/price...

Project Farm is a pretty objective tester of all things tool. He just completed a 6 month in depth test of all the major brands of rust converters though various tests. I was impressed with the results from the Rustoleum, and it matched with my personal experiences too.

Excited to see the project come together! Mine is cooking good as ever. Grilled some steaks and burgers over the long weekend and did a quick burn-off and cleanup to show it I still care. I've had a minor cosmetic issue with the front steel plate that I riveted, but that is just my lack of...

It wasn't all that bad. I didn't do a deep box, just a 5 bar, but the process would be very similar. The frame was an 05 Summit Platinum. I had to have 2 pieces welded on to create a place for the firebox, but other than that everything else could be done by hand. I have my old Genesis Plat...

Thanks y'all. You've given me the strength to carry on. This one is starting to show glimmers of being a star. Hopefully my high temp burn helped with the lid. I did a liberal application of mean green and am letting it simmer over night. Gonna try the razor.

You can see it in the very first post (page 1). it's a thermostat table with cup holders on the front. 1 broken side, but not horrible. I'll probably just leave the side table off totally at this point. I'm already in for $105, and I normally get around $200-$250 tops for a beautiful Genesis...

Rebuilt the valves over the weekend. Grill previously capped out at around 300. Now comfortably reaches 500+. 30 minute cook and most of the crud burned off or significantly loosened so that I could work with it. The previous owner used regular spray paint all over the underside of the grill...

That is a beautiful paint job. Mine needs a respray. What paint did you use? I can't decide if I should stick with the factory green or go for something a little more....conservative. I'll prob just do the plywood shelf trick or leave it off completely. I have the front flip shelf that is a...

I might be interested in that side shelf. Mine is missing something, but I'm not sure what it is. It has a has a U chapped stainless square steel piece that was not attached I assumed was a missing shelf, but maybe it isn't? Edit: Yea, google says this is a "rolling cart handle"

Simple fact is that grill isn't worth $500, regardless of condition. A symbol of the Begining of the end for Weber is all that grill is worth IMO. ask me how I really feel haha

Don't forget Napoleon. Lifetime warranty bumper to bumper on their higher end models and 15 on the lower lineup.

I couldn't even get Weber to honor the warranty on a GS4 grill I refurbished last year. Moving away from the tubular burner is a big mistake by Weber.

If you have sold anything up that way, I may have messaged you on FB to compliment the work. Someone up that way sold a red head with some custom plywood shelves a while back. Yea, that red head was nice. He said he has a stockpile that he works from, but resisted sharing anything with me. I...

I've done 3 rounds of paint scraper already and it is just taking so much time. This stuff is in layers, and once you get to the bottom it has a slick layer that is "seasoned" on the aluminium. I've never seen anything like it.
