I used to have a 2000 model "flat top" 26. I had always thought it was the last year.

I agree that someone added the rack from a Genesis 1. Skylines are a favorite of mine, partly because I went to the University of Chicago and my wife's family is from the Chicago area. (I just returned from her family reunion there.) I personally think they are unique enough to try to save lids...

I think the lid might have hope. Need closer inspection to be sure. The control panel rust doesn’t bode well for some of the other parts.

Larry, so glad your beautiful Wolf came out looking great again! Good idea on that save.

Cody and Jim, I only have done one of these, but on mine that button IS the igniter switch. The battery on mine was in a pack inside the cabinet where the wires then go to each burner’s electric spark igniter - not a snap jet.

See fix above.

This a well liked marine grade coating. I have used it, but I use Helmsman’s spar urethane and been very happy with that, too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0027UEW5K?tag=tvwb-20 For cedar slats and a black hood, I like a very light stain. I like Josh’s example for an authentic looking redhead.

That’s a stunner for sure! Great workmanship on that. I like redheads a lot, but to bring out the beauty of wood slats, I will take a brunette as my first choice.😊

Indigo is my favorite modern color by far. I bought one at Ace and retrofitted it with legs, wheels and handles from a used MasterTouch I picked up. I like the look and especially the taller stance.

John, It is a huge blessing to have you on the inside track give us so much helpful explanations. A lot of us here are collector/grill fanatics. We do need to keep in mind that Weber is a business and has to make what sells profitably :coolkettle: .

Deep Ocean Blue always seems to win these polls, but to my eye the Ace specific Indigo color is a way richer shade. Deep Ocean Blue Indigo

From my testing, I would say both of these - at least at the time when I tested - are high quality, non-magnetic 304 stainless. BBQParts.com is a very good company for us grill restorers. Qlimetal is deserving of accolades as well as they are definitely a cut above almost all of their Asian...

I would rate Q39 as a tie with Joe's of Kansas City for the best we tried. Joe's makes more sense to me as a lunch place while Q39 with wait staff might be a better choice for dinner.

TImothy, That is exactly what I was going to say to Bruce! When you work on grills for many others, as Bruce has for years, I think it is only appropriate that you have a really special one for yourself to show to others. For me right now, that is my restored 1st generation Summit. I sure hope...

What a perfect ending for this restoration. The ultimate Father’s Day present!

I would be more interested if the flat side was the cooking side. With the placement of the support bars, I don’t think these were intended to be reversible, but you could still probably do that and grill around that middle bar. So, still tempting to add it to my stainless grate showdown. I was...

I know for sure it is the same grate size as all the grills that @John-NY posted - and even my 4-burner 1st generation Summit for that matter, but I admit in person it somehow looks smaller. Maybe something about the tight, smaller shelves and the hood design. Is this new Spirit perfect? No...

I really liked this one that @Bruce and I saw in Kansas City last month. It does have a bit of electronics and stainless shelves, so I guess a person has to weigh the pros and cons vs. the one Mark has and likes for the opposite reasons. Here is what we saw:

Thanks, @DanHoo! That is exactly what I must have done. I appreciate the help👍

I am no longer able to directly insert photos or do some other things using my iPhone. The menu bar is all grayed out. Today I tried to copy and paste a link, but what was entered on my private message was just dead text. Is there a security setting on my phone that I need to change?
