Yup! There have been times where I didn't put the tank on the scale because the frame was a parallelogram from the weight of the tank. Tank on the ground. Lift and shake with calibrated arms. Spare tank in the garage. Good to go! I have since converted to natural gas, so I don't have to...

So, you told him that you would send him that drip tray? Well played! Gerry

That is one nicely done grill! I see you are in the UK. I noticed the variable regulator and it brought back memories. Back in the mid '90s my dad sent a Weber Genesis to his brother in Germany. I remember there being issues with the regulators and my uncle needing an adjustable unit to make...

That's what I think too. Sometimes you see grills at hotels or resorts that are set out for guests to use. I wonder if these stationary grills were intended for that purpose more than a home outside kitchen application. I can't see building that grill into a stone or brick enclosure where you...

When my wife bought me a Genesis 1 for Christmas back in ‘91-92, she broke it down into pieces and wrapped them individually. The idea was that I wouldn’t know what I was getting, and I had a hundred gifts to unwrap. I already suspected what I was getting after the first or second frame part...

Yes, always adjust to get a good reading at empty. That’s the only reading that counts! Gerry

The wing nut (I think) adjusts the tension on the spring. So in addition to adjusting the spring, you have to reduce the friction elsewhere in the system to get repeatable results. There is a lot of rust evident, and that will cause more friction than when the scale was new. As you oil it, you...

Well, I would take the tank off and maybe spray some WD40 in the spring area. Then maybe push up and down on it to see if you can identify some sliding surfaces that need lube. You could wire brush and lube the threads for the wing nut. Gerry

Maybe some oil, and then play with the wing nut on the top of the scale. I think the wing nut adjusts the tension on the spring. Gerry

Here's an oldie. Only asking $325! Jon? https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/hsh/d/worth-weber-gas-grill/7571575976.html Gerry

Nice! I especially liked the Vice Grip counterweight!🤓 Gerry

Thanks, and Happy New Year to you too. Gerry

That oldie is right up your alley! Looks like it's in good condition too. $325 is a high price, but if it's as nice as it looks... (let me know if/ when you want me to pick it up for you.) Gerry

From Craigslist Chicago https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/hsh/d/worth-weber-gas-grill/7571575976.html Very old Genesis $325. wants to make a deal.

Thanks Larry, There was some extra work to do. I'm not a fan of the rawhide shoestrings on the grill tools to hang them, so I slotted the spatula and scraper handles so I could put them on the hooks without the rawhide or trying to put them on with a small hole in the handle. Gerry

Not grilling just yet, but I did some grill work today. I added a set of tool hooks to one of my grills. I have been informed that the freezer is out of pulled pork, so there will be some grill/smoking in my near future. Happy New Year! Gerry

Well, it's only a few hours before 2023. Where's the pics of the finished grill? :):) Happy New Year, and we are looking forward to see an update! Gerry

POR 15 is good stuff. I used their Factory Manifold Gray on a set of cast iron exhaust manifolds. Ten years and probably close to 100,000 miles later and they look the same as when I first painted them. Also used their Chassis Black to paint the chassis of a current project. It has proven...

Nice job on that grill! Gerry

So, did you spin the bird during Snowmageddon? Or did you wimp out...:) How did everything go? Gerry
