Thanks Bruce! Marking the boards was 100% a suggestion I pulled from this board. Just one of the many, many ways it's helped out.

Moving to the wood, I decided I was going to use the original wood for several reasons. One - I like the idea of using the original parts whenever possible. Two - Since I marked the order and placement of each board, in theory all the holes should line up on re-assembly. Three - it was free and...

Haha, you guy must be grilling some tiny hamburgers!

Thanks Sam! Bruce, I got them off Ebay a while back during one of the 15% off sales. Thanks for the recommendation on the replacements. Like you said, I figured I could always upgrade later if I needed to.

Nothing too groundbreaking this weekend, but I did the get the hood mostly reassembled and re mounted. And new flavorizers from RCplaneBuyer. I couldn't justify the price of his grates, so I went with a different stainless option. Getting pretty close to the end, but I've really been...

Ron, Here are a few picks of the scale from the top and bottom. Hope they help out.

Haha, thank so much everyone. Like I said before, I'm just following all the paths that everyone else had already posted in their previous restorations.

I found the perfect hybrid of both ideas! Ace had these tiny plastic rivets. They look so good the only people who will know they didn't come on the grill are those reading this post To finish up the control panel I printed out my new serial decal After a coat of clear. I wasn't sure...

We had a lot of Halloween craziness around our house, but I did manage to work on the control panel this week. I ended up with several replacement control panels, however in the end it turned out that my original panel was in the best condition with the exception of the 4 holes. All it really...

Thanks Guys!!! IT has definitely been a fun experience. Also nice that I have no timetable, just work when I can.

As promised, here is printable version of the template I used for the front cover The PDF that will print out the exact size can be downloaded HERE You will need to print on two pieces of paper or one 11 x 17 if you have the means The final piece can be cut from an 11.5" x 4.25" scrap of...

Haha! First priority would be to cover up all the Samsung logos on our appliances :D

Looks nice! Glad you were able to bring it back to life

Success!! All the valves, burner tubes and regulator seem to be in good working condition. I'm embarrassed to say I only thought to check the front burner when I went to purchase it. Glad to know I won't need to replace all this stuff. I'm also guessing this thing hasn't had a functioning...

Tim, I'd be happy to scan my template and write the dimensions, although all mine were just guesses made from looking at photos. Maybe the best option would be to put in in a PDF that could be printed out?

Thanks guys! I have a 2 year old daughter so sometimes the progress can be a little slow, but I like to celebrate the small victories.

Congratulations Bruce! Lets all just assume he will come to appreciate it once he gets it tot he cabin and starts using it.

Had a few hours to work on the grill this weekend. Got the front panel painted and installed. I also ended up re-painting the fire box with flat high temp rustoleum. Finally go to install the newly refurbished tank scale. Installed the burner tubes, new igniter, and valve bracket thanks to...

Yes, changing out the blades can be a bit of a pain but it'd definitely the best way to go. There are limits to what metals you can cut, but it goes through aluminum just like cutting wood.

Thanks! It was a 1/16" piece of scrap aluminum, cut on a table saw with a metal cutting blade. I don't have that kind of room in my small garage, but luckily my dad lives close. I'm planning on keeping this grill for myself, and I'm the opposite as that's the only reason I cleaned the fire box.
