    What's the Difference

    The bottom image is the one I bought two weeks ago. I need to update my rehab posting with some lessons learned from the effort, and new pictures later this week when I get back. When I ran the serial numbers, its a Genesis 1100. It is not the LX, and the wood is real wood (just painted grey...

    Unplanned Weber buy

    I know eh. Wouldn't see this at Canadian Tire or Home Hardware? and even if you did, then its the HST. Even trying to ship stuff to Canada gets too costly to chase a deal. I grew up in the maritimes north of the Canadian border, and now just 20 min north of the mexico border.... Maybe its my...

    Unplanned Weber buy

    I decided to check another location and found a MT in the box instead of floor model. Even better was the fact they rang it up as $99 for me because it was the last one. So the OTG is going back tomorrow.

    Unplanned Weber buy

    Today I went to see if my local Walmart had the 14" WSM on clearance as many have mentioned already for $139 or better. I was on the fence whether to grab one, as I already have the 22", but having a small 14" would be nice to quickly for up for small amounts. However when I turned around, I...

    Weber 4000 Platinum

    That's the one, but your pic is in much better shape. It showed up this mornings on CL for $20. Looked worth $20 for sure. I asked for location to see it, but then saw a second listing at 1pm saying 'free' but needed to be picked up by 2pm. Just missed it. I was hoping to grab it and swap...

    Weber 4000 Platinum

    Weber Platinum What was the difference between the regular Genesis model and the Platinum? I'm just finishing up the wood on my Red Genesis 1100 rehab and saw a post for a Weber Platinum basically free. It has the side burner and second flip table, but is there something else I'm missing...

    First Weber Gas Grill - 1993 Genesis Red 1100

    I think I created more work than needed on the frame. It was in great condition with only a few minor spots where I could see potential for rust in the future. Given I was sanding the sides of the firebox, I figured I'd sand the frame, and unfortunately just went ahead with the 100 grit paper...

    First Weber Gas Grill - 1993 Genesis Red 1100

    Got a lot done today. The lid cleaned up with ease. Just a little simply green and steel wool made it shine with a quick rub. Sanded down the frame and other parts, and cleaned out the fire box with oven cleaner and then hit it with putty knife and some 100 sand paper. I've painted the fire...

    First Weber Gas Grill - 1993 Genesis Red 1100

    Jeff, I was going to ask about the porcelain corners so that's for the suggestion. I was thinking the same but didn't think of getting red auto paint as it would be hidden, but worth using red vs black to touch it up. After reading your suggestion, I started thinking if I should just paint the...

    First Weber Gas Grill - 1993 Genesis Red 1100

    Ok. Everything so far has come apart with ease. All firebox bolts just unscrewed without hesitation. Everything is dismantled with the exception of the wheels. With everything coming apart easy, I want to be sure the wheels just pop off before I pry the caps off with a screw driver. Is...

    First Weber Gas Grill - 1993 Genesis Red 1100

    I'm planning to grab the FB from him. For the grates, do you mean the 3/8 SS Rods? They're $120 + $20 shipping. I'm certain they would outlive the grill, and me. However I guess with the condition of this unit, those FB and the SS Grill would make it virtually new.

    First Weber Gas Grill - 1993 Genesis Red 1100

    Thanks for the advise. Are the inside of the side covers painted originally? There seems to be paint falling off the inside of the sides. I'm familiar with the smoke layer in my WSM, but this looks like paint. I'm wondering if it was originally painted or someone painted it before. I want...

    First Weber Gas Grill - 1993 Genesis Red 1100

    Hi. I've been reading various threads on Weber rehab's and always wanted to try a Weber gas grill. I figured I'd keep an eye on CL until I found one in fair condition and pick it up. So this week I saw a listing for a red 1993 Genesis 1000. The sticker and serial number come up as an 1100...

    Hello from SoCal

    Have read a few threads from time to time on this site and figured I'd finally join. Owned the WSM for a couple years and just bought my first Weber gas grill yesterday. Have been watching for a decent Genesis on CL that I could clean up, and one finally showed up that fit the bill and then...
