    Replacement vent hints?

    It can be done but they may want to spin when you try to drill them. If you drill it and then try to punch the rivet through, probably from the inside, you may also distort the metal outward where the rivet goes through. This will prevent your newly purchased replacement daisy wheels from...

    Custom Handles

    They are handles for a Blaze Kamado, cast aluminum egg thing. https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B07B8QT326/tvwb-20

    Custom Handles

    I wonder if these would work?

    Panel Clips on a Genesis 1000???

    I’m fiddling with this too. The inserts I have are not working. For now, i’m using some 3M Dual-Lock. I may try some neodymium disk magnets next.

    Snap on weber grill?

    That’s a pricey endorsement.

    Help removing stripped screws from 2009 Genesis 300

    I suggest using an automatic center punch adjusted to a light setting and backing the screw with something like an auto body dolly. Apply the dolly to the back side with good pressure before punching. The backing mass should absorb the impact from the punch and prevent the aluminum from...

    I'll be doing two butts and two slabs of spares. Smoke wood will be apple.

    Grill light?

    LEDs with a 2700K color temp seems to match my old recessed halogens pretty well.

    Afterburner-IR Infrared burners for Genesis Grill?

    I need something to blacken my poblanos and jalapenos for green chili. Before the Weber (Gen 1100), I prepped them using the conventional side burner that my previous grill had, though it was really inadequate for the job. Maybe it could be used to boil water or heat a skillet. Before that...

    Why the damper?

    Ah. There's an explanation that makes some sense. I use the MM, or rather, a variation that dumps the starter coals in a tomato can in the middle of the fire ring. I use the Weber compact chimney for starter coal and don't really put much in there. I do get spikes when I remove the lid for a...

    Why the damper?

    I am once again thinking about building a HM (currently use Flameboss 300), just to wean myself from a dependence on a commercial ATC, their rising prices, and the potential instabilities that affect small companies. The last time I was close to building a HM there was no such thing as a...

    Gen 1000 manifold bracket

    OIC. It just hangs off of that bent up inner edge of the cross piece. Thanks all. (y)

    Gen 1000 manifold bracket

    Sry, I should have provided a bit more info. If this bracket is correct... for this grill/manifold:

    Gen 1000 manifold bracket

    Could someone post (or point to) a picture of how this thing attaches? I ordered one. Maybe it will be obvious when it shows up.

    Do any national chains sell wood that's 5/8" thick (for replacing rotted Genesis slats)?

    The "actual thickness" for those cedar boards from Lowes that Bruce mentioned is listed at 0.8125 in. If you want them to be flush on top, you might try to reduce the thickness of those boards, but only on the bottom side and only at the ends where they contact the Z-bar. A tenth of a inch for...

    SS grates racked in shipping (fixed)

    I suppose the box was dropped or tossed during handling and landed hard on the corner. Anyone remember this? United Breaks Guitars

    SS grates racked in shipping (fixed)

    I've been working on a '97 Gen 1000 (BPratt, thanks for the grease tray), so I bought a pair of rcplanebuyer grates. They arrived damaged. One was pretty severely racked (~0.5 in), the other only slightly. One corner of the shipping box looked a little rough. I emailed Dave. He said he...

    Angle grinder questions

    Words well spoken. I had an one-time neighbor that died from being struck in the head by the shrapnel from an exploding disk. He made his living carving things out of giant samples of coquina rock used for landscaping. A bit of an artist I guess.
