Appears to be a Genesis Platinum 1200. Jeff

I lighly tap the two studs with a hammer to give me some room under the retaining clips and then take a small screwdriver and wiggle the clips off the post. Takes less than 20 seconds. If the clip does break no biggie, new ones are 15 cents each. Jeff

Dave, I use Borax in my Washing Machine as well as my Swimming Pool. Great stuff. Jeff

I resemble that remark. ;) Jeff

Big Thank You to Jon for offering these decals for us members. I grabbed several different ones from him for future restores. Here are some pictured next to my Junior. My Junior is a 1988 model and has a one-off style tank decal as it's sized in between the two pictured but luckily it's in...

Jon, Just sent you a PM regarding the purchase of some of your decals. Jeff

Not the greatest of deals but a savings non-the-less...

Joe, I congratulate you on not only fixing the casters but putting up with the God-awful smell of PB Blaster in your Home. I use Seafoam Deep Creep. Works as well or better than PB without the horrible stench of PB. Jeff

Looking good Martin. Jeff

100% in agreement Larry. Jeff

Dan, I've replaced most drip tray rails on my restores (Weber # 97783) and several times I've had to use Quiksteel by Blue Magic to fill the stripped holes. I've done it two ways: Apply the Quiksteel, let it harden and then tap the holes for some #10 or #12 1/2"long stainless screws. Apply...

Kelly, First off welcome to the Junior Club. Sorry to hear how your "adventure" turned out. When the JR is all finished you'll have a story that, hopefully you and the Wife will look back on and laugh. As you have heard the Junior is though to find parts for it is not impossible. My...

Tony, Great story and even more importantly great find! Weber labeled this a 5500 series model to denote a permanent mount model vs the 5000 with the casters. Don't worry about the maroon pinstripes on the lid and the white pinstripes on the smoked glass. All the 5000/5500 models come...

Long time since I posted about an e-bay coupon but one just showed up. Spend $30.00 or more and use coupon code YOUSAVETEN to save $10.00 off you purchase. Must pay by Debit or Credit cars though, no Paypal. Expires on March 26 2021. Jeff

Jim, If you're referring to the top half of my lid that is fade in the porcelain, not carbon deposits. Jeff

I buy Dawn Power Dissolver by the case, sells for around $62 from several online sellers. I like to order it from Staples as with their coupon it comes in under $50. Jeff

Jim, Like I have stated in the past I use Dawn Power Dissolver on the inside of the lids and let it set 15-20 minutes. The carbon build up scrapes off like paint after using paint remover. Much easier than sitting there with a razor scraper. Regarding your idea of using a Buffer...I used...

Great job on your 5000 Mark. You've got a nice one there. Jeff

Regarding the drip tray rails...If your Weber has 11 1/2" drip tray rails the Factory Weber part # should be 98057. What I do on my restores is buy the larger Weber # 97783 rails which measures 13 1/2" length that are more common and use that one. Jeff

Jon, You sure about that? It appears the hood the OP pictured is the same pinstriped hood in both pictures. Either way, that hood looks like a goner. Jeff
