Just been kind of lurking. My weber insanity has been tamed by time and other interests. I got way behind in must does and my new hobby of machining on a lathe. I let things get away from me and have just been using up insane amounts of time trying to get back to so called normal. I let my...

I always kept my eye out for those extras. So I have 2 new grates and one new gas deflector or flavorizor plate. But really, I have grates that are kinda rusted but I keep them clean and oiled and cook on them for years. Also, just go to second hand stores and look for them. Many times they have...

Have seen them put in the middle and to one side of the handle but not sure that it is much use.

This has been discussed many times. I sadly cannot remember his name but he was from Australia and he had cooking on the qs wired down including smoking.

Nice, good beer.

Lightly sand mine and then use spar urethane. They stay in good shape for a long time. And if it gets a bit weathered, just sand and spray again.

Clean and scrub it. Maybe some sandpaper. Plenty of metal left. Oil it up and keep it oiled and it will last for a very long time. I have cleaned and used ones worse than that.

Ok, thanks guys. I see thry are available online. Just odd that weber no longer shows them.

Check all the openings for spider webs, etc. If it still wont light, check the schrader valve and the outlet jet. If still no go then the regulator is bad. On your handles, lightly sand them and then spray them with the spar varnish. They will look great for a long time.

Just a heads up that some places do not allow charcoal, open fires. So for that case one needs to get a q grill.

The issue was that ashes would plug up the bottom vent. So i came up with the can fix. But having bothe the sj and the gold, i found for the mini smoker, the gold worked the best. For grilling, the sj was great. Either way, just use what works for you. Its fun doing all this testing.

Those burners are ss. Nothing should go wrong with them. The holes need to be cleaned properly. Go to lowes or whatever and get a gas/oxy tip cleaner. Then use the proper fitting one to clean out the holes. Each cleaner rod has a rough area, kind of like a file that you need to use to get the...

Is the smaller one no longer made ? Dont see it on webers sight. I ask because i was going to mention it to someone but decided to look first and its not there.

There really is nothing wrong with the older style. I even tried sealing the gap with aluminum foil, no differance. Seems like an ocd thing than a functional thing.

This reminds me that i still need to make a rottiserie setup for my q220. Really made me mad when i first saw webers setup for europe only.

The one that most did was drill a hole in the leg socket and leg and use a screw to hold them in. If mine get bad i just take the leg out and expand the end a touch. But basically, they are always wobbly.

I would like to thin down my collection of ga grills. I have both. But some are only good for parts. Anyone near visalia ca, let me know.

Yup, in a year of use which isnt much as i would like, i clean out the holes about 6 times. I just look at the flames. If they are not even, its cleaning time. Its amazing how the crud fills in the holes.

I use my 18 kettle now for basically direct grilling. The coal grate is closer to the cooking grate. Also just easier to handle for me. But i have slightly veered towards gas with my q220 and my 22 inch griddle. For small smoking i use my 14 inch tamale pot conversion. Bigger i use my 22 kettle.

I have used a few and settled on a ss painters wire brush. Never any issues. Brass left brass on the grates and took more scrubbing.
