    My First Weber and First Restore Project Ever

    So I've never had a Weber before, and never understood the love for them. I've also never restored anything, so this was a project I was intimidated by and excited to tackle. After looking around for a strong propane grill to have on my patio under my deck, I knew I needed to get my hands on an...

    Weber Genesis 1000 Swing Table

    So when you said plastic piece I went on the schematic and I realized what you meant! I took the piece off and figured out how to attach it. Thank you!

    Weber Genesis 1000 Swing Table

    I am in the home stretch of completing my first Weber and restore ever! I am a bit confused though on the swing table. How does the hinge of the swing table attach to the cross bar on the body of the Weber? I have the Zbar situation figured out but for the life of me I can remember how the...

    Anyone think this idea might be worth looking into?

    I've got a genesis 1000, so i only have the side table on the left. I wish i had the 2000 for the extra space

    Off Topic but BBQ Grill question for the restoration folks

    A smoker is a smoker lol so don't put yourself down for wanting to use it! If you get the smoke box just pickup some high temperature fire tape and put it around the areas it attaches to the main body, and on the lid of the firebox in order to give a better seal. I've even seen some people run a...

    Anyone think this idea might be worth looking into?

    So I am in the home stretch of restoring my very first weber gas grill (will post pics once I finish putting together the swing table) I was thinking, though. I tend to have a tray that I put my food on (the swing tables will hold this) and I usually have a beer in my hand that I put down to...

    Weber Gas Grill Hanging Basket

    Does anyone actually use this thing? I know I’ll use the rack above the grill for buns and corn, but does anyone have a practical use for the hanging basket on the lid?

    2005 Weber Genesis B Restoration-Rust on Frame

    If you don't see the metal corroding, it's safe to say it's surface rust. My .02 would be, if you hit it with a sandpaper brick a few times and can see metal, it's just surface rust.

    Off Topic but BBQ Grill question for the restoration folks

    I have the double play - it was my first ever grill purchase as I wanted gas and charcoal combo for parties, and it works great. My biggest problem is that the heat on the gas side is extremely difficult to tune, I can have one burner on low, and the grill will sit at 250, if i turn two on it'll...

    First Restoration- Ran into a headache

    So i tried the solvent, tried numerous ways of getting the screws out to no avail, the actual body was seized together, and regardless of how many times I tried, it wouldn't come undone, I even drilled the screws out and it still wouldn't open up. The previous owner left it out in the rain 24/7...

    First Restoration- Ran into a headache

    I could do that. Lol unless the grill grates and 13 flavorizers from the 1000 won’t fit in the silver. I literally had everything sanded power washed painted and replaced until I ran into this headache. My only option for now until I get the silver b this weekend (literally just using it for a...

    First Restoration- Ran into a headache

    Also, if drilling the one stripped out and somehow managing the other one doesn’t work, is it difficult to get off the brass valve? I found the part 36400 on grill parts for $20 but don’t want to waste the money if it will be risky

    First Restoration- Ran into a headache

    I luckily found a free silver b that someone is getting rid of that I was going to take the lid from. Hopefully the manifold should fit too. I did liquid wrench as well but the tops of the screws are so worn any tension breaks away the metal. I already started drilling one out because the rubber...

    First Restoration- Ran into a headache

    So I’m restoring my very first Weber Genesis 1000 and everything was going smoothly until I realized that the back burner control valve was seized and I couldn’t push down to turn it. I tried a few light taps with a hammer, some WD40 and brake cleaner to no avail. The screws were stripped out...
