    Replace My Sunbeam Gas Grill With A Weber?

    I convinced my buddy to go this route, sold him a nice 1000 series Genesis for a fair price. He went bonkers, replaced everything that you can replace and fully tricked it out, and just sent me this text yesterday: "Dude! I'm in love with my Weber! Yes, I spent more than my original budget...

    That feeling when you know what is about to happen next will be amazing....

    THEY ARE PERFECT ! I can recommend this option as a solution for anyone, expecially since Jeff's guy fell off Ebay. These look almost exactly the same and are sent with all the love you have come to expect from McMaster.

    Road trip to Omaha!

    I would pay $220 to not have to go to Omaha in the summer.

    Collection of Weber Instruction Manuals?

    Good post, Paul - I was going to do the same thing. You beat me to it!

    The ones I ordered were 2417T27. I'll post pics when they arrive on Friday. I am curious if it mounts flush to the tube end or if anything sticks out. Don't order em yet! -X

    No, Jeff, that was not the thread, but as usual, your solution is simpler and more elegant than what I had in mind. I never woulda thunk threaded square tube inserts were a thing. Just ordered off McMaster. I owe you a beer!

    Hi everyone It took me a bit longer to wrap up my honeydo list, but I finally got clearance from the tower to start Weber work (real work). The thing is, since the original post, I have accumulated more grills! Here's the brief update: -Cooked on the better Skyline with the CI grates in it's...

    New from NorCal with a recent free gas grill in need of restoration

    Those are OEM Weber parts from Weber mothership. Some of the items didn't show up on their website as orderable but when I called customer service they hooked me up. Came as one big box with a bunch of individual part numbered boxes inside.

    New from NorCal with a recent free gas grill in need of restoration

    Hi Steven That grill will be a beaut. I too was inspired by Jeff's hardware (pun) and wanted to do it up right. I ended up doing a takeoff of all the required stuff out of the owner's manual, adding the shroud endcap bolts (not pictured in the manual!), and sourcing them all from McMaster...

    Thinking of buying a used weber gas grill.

    Dustin - get outta here! This is seriously the same grill ??! NICE WORK MAN! Have you cooked on it yet? How does it feel to bask in greatness?

    Thinking of buying a used weber gas grill.

    *lying on its back, not side. Like if you were grilling and you shoved it over. I have a 2005 Honda Pilot and had no issue fitting on its side with the lid off (remove the two cotter pins and hinge pins).

    Thinking of buying a used weber gas grill.

    Hi Dustin I'm just getting ready to get started on my Genesis 1200 rehab, and I have been sourcing parts. Your $400 budget is almost dead nuts what I am in it for (less elbow grease), and I'm going top shelf on pretty much everything. 316 SS hardware, super duper 304 SS flavorizers and grates...

    Charcoal to gas conversion

    One other thing it may be - this is on LetGo, which is a relatively new competitor to Craigslist. One of the main things they are claiming over CL is that their "patented algorithm" makes selling your item as easy as taking a picture of it on your phone from inside their app, and their wizard...

    Charcoal to gas conversion

    It looks that way. Here's a pic from the 1993 Genesis Gasser Product Brochure - you tell me how it looks.

    Charcoal to gas conversion

    Agreed, that looks like a regular Genesis 1000 series. Is this it? https://us.letgo.com/en/i/red-weber-propane-grill-w-2-tanks_ba5031bf-6b6e-4588-aba1-cd7993993b76 If so, the 2 tanks are worth $50-60, even empty, so at $100 I'd be all over it! EDIT: If you can be in contact with the seller...

    That feeling when you know what is about to happen next will be amazing....

    Jeff, that thing is a beaut. I have ordered 316 SS hardware for all the doodads shown in the assembly manual, but I see that YOU found the retaining screws that hold the endcaps onto the lid as well! Can you tell me about those - how did you find the size? Are they 1/4" diameter 20 threads...

    You guys I got the FEVER! (What grill is this?)

    I think this was a win. Flavorizers are totally rotten and the cook grate is junk, but the burners and crossover are ok. Igniter questionable. Trim in good shape (regulator, wheels, thermometer, thermoset), and the lid should clean up real nice. Plus, it has the newer tank scale which I'll...

    You guys I got the FEVER! (What grill is this?)

    Looks like a little Silver A, based on a quick search. I'm on it tomorrow!

    You guys I got the FEVER! (What grill is this?)

    Ok, wifey is on board with the two Skylines pending completion of her items first. I've also ordered replacement SS hardware for them both (McMaster Carr - holy bananas is their site good) - but I keep checking Craigslist for more treasures. This guy wants me to have this grill, including the...
