Just received some Weber replacement parts. Instead of throwing away the instruction manuals that came with the parts, I thought it would be prudent to scan and upload them for the public good. Is there a central repository of these kinds of things? Weber 39906 - Igniter Installation...

Thanks for the responses, guys! And yep, with a little more effort - Simple Green + 0000 steel wool made it much better. Thanks!

Found this readhead while browsing Craigslist. Free readhead + propane tank. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/zip/d/free-weber-grill/6225370111.html Must be picked up by Friday. Would hate to see a good grill go to the dump.

I know I've seen this advice somewhere on this thread, but can't immediately find it. When restoring a grill, some folks use a wirewheel/etc. to remove carbon and other gunk from the inside of the firebox. That leaves exposed metal, and I assume that exposed metal is prone to rust if it is not...

Got my hands on a redhead. The cleanup process is coming along, but hit a snag on the lid. The lid has some stains that apparently came from the badge. Over time, the badge surface turned into a white flaky substance, which apparently "leaked" some haziness onto the porcelain top. It almost...

LMichaels, Scott P., and THyde: Thank you for your encouraging words and your wisdom. I really appreciate it. Was feeling quite discouraged until you guys replied. Thank you. Even better news that the burners might be ok to try out. THyde: this is a dumb question but: how did you figure out...

Amazing spruce up! Looks awesome. How did you get the drip tray looking so perfect? (the piece of metal immediately below the firebox, with the ~2" hole in it).

Took a chance and started it up with the existing burner tubes. I shot a little brake cleaner in there first, let it air dry a bit, and then tried it out. The back burner has beautiful blue flames coming out of it. (It may be difficult to see in the photos). The front burner isn't great, but...

Thanks, LMichaels. Really appreciate the guidance. Here are some additional photos.

I'm so looking forward to restoring this Genesis, but it looks like I'm off to a crummy start! My fault, of course. Picked up a little redhead, and thought I was in business. It had the Liquid Propane connector and everything. Flipped over the control panel (the porcelain piece with text that...

Awesome! Thank you guys so much for the information! This really helps us newbies.

For those of you who have completed restorations, what hardware items did you buy? (Nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) For example: Weber makes it relatively easy to find the wheels, knobs, etc. so those can be found. However, the small hardware items like nuts, bolts, screws, and cotter pins - those...

Hi, Dustin. I appreciate the feedback. You're absolutely right. I've gone back and added quotation marks, and cited each quote with the author who originally wrote them. Let me know if I've missed any!

In an attempt to "do it right," I've been browsing the restoration threads on this forum. In doing so, I thought it'd be prudent to collect all the various bits of knowledge into one single "how-to" guide. While no single guide can be perfect for everyone or every grill, the idea is to capture...

Does anyone have an image showing what the fully-restored Durawood slats should look like? Just so we know when to stop cleanin' and start grillin'.

Quick question: Where are the threads and/or pointers to rotisseries that fit the old Weber Genesis? I recently picked up an old RedHead (Looks similar to the photo below, but not the fancy platinum badging). My wife may let me keep it, if I can prove to her that it will work as our rotisserie...
