    Reputable websites to buy parts???

    There are so many with similar names... I have used bbqparts.com and have huge respect for them. I have also purchased from thebbqdepot.com and been happy. And, also as I mentioned grillparts.com has been excellent and where I bought burners for my 1st generation Summit and for use in my...

    I was not at all agreeing with his presentation, and I do admit it wouldn't take a whole lot to clean it up more. But, like Bruce says, if someone chooses to do just the bare minimum and has happy paying customers, what can you say? And, sadly, I do think that the return on every additional hour...

    Reputable websites to buy parts???

    I bought one 26" and two 22" gorgeous thick stainless grates Weber kettles from Killa Grilla. The owner, Mark Baron, also worked personally with me to make a perfect replacement for my PK "one vent" grill. Mark has since retired, and how I wish I had been able to purchase some more from him...

    I think he could certainly do better, but it is also true that there are many buyers who don't see older Weber grills as the "classics" we do. They just want to save money buying something solid and relatively clean. At that guy's asking price, I think they could expect more, but if you are...

    Reputable websites to buy parts???

    I recently purchased those same Summit burners and crossovers. They look great and arrived promptly. I believe their stock is running low of these. They are going to get harder and harder to find as time goes by.

    That's crazy! I would go all out to get that if it were near me.

    Rescued Weber Skyline

    Love those Skylines! The 2-burners aren't as common and don't get the attention they deserve. That looks great!

    That probably was a crimson. The few I have seen always sell fast. This is the one I would love to have as a keeper: Open cart, large wheels…If it was mine, I would call it “The Last Redhead.”

    I think the photo is very dark. I had a brick red once and it was much lighter, but still darker/blacker than crimson.

    56" Vieluxe Redux

    Cody, That's pretty much exactly what I have done. I am following up with some extra fine (1000, 2000, 3000) grit to brighten up further. This takes away almost all of the "Brillo" marks, but, of course being over 20 years old there are a few deeper scratches that I will have to live with. I...

    56" Vieluxe Redux

    I am still working on the panel. I might try the "wet wipe-off" method you are suggesting, Mike. I have very little time to put into this, so it is going slow. Getting closer on the black lettering but most eager to do the V I E L U X E name and logo in blue!

    Cody's Corner of Random Rehabbing & Shenanigans

    Yep, I WAS going to keep it, but I keep trying to face the reality that I can't have as many "keeper/cooker" gas grills as I want. I knew this Genesis II Indigo would be a profitable (rare for me) easy sell, so I contented myself with one cook. It was a hot grill not unlike my 1st generation...

    56" Vieluxe Redux

    STAINLESS CONTROL PANEL - FIRST EFFORTS I removed the almost 5-foot-long control panel (just 4 stainless screws). It cleaned up pretty nicely with just some grill cleaner and Bar Keepers Friend liquid paste: BEFORE AFTER I even experimented with painting the lettering and markers on one...

    Cody's Corner of Random Rehabbing & Shenanigans

    Definitely a favorite of mine, even if only based on looking at and restoring a couple. I have never cooked on one:cry:! I do, however, also like at least some aspects of the Genesis II like I had briefly and DID have the opportunity to use - one time! That thing was very powerful and...

    Curb Alert !!!

    I was working in Chicago at that time, and had the most fun when the controller at the client where I was working told me that the Bears were going to "destroy" my Miami Dolphins at that Monday night's game. I told him I didn't really follow football but that, while Chicago was a rough town, the...

    Curb Alert !!!

    Probably where I will be one day... A lot of parts for sure. I guess it would depend on how much he wanted for the whole nine yards and the cost to rent a box truck to haul all of it. In a quick view I don't see anything really spectacular, but plenty to do a bunch of typical flip grills.

    Doesn’t clearly state whether it is LP. Funny that several have popped up in various locations in a relatively short time. I always considered these to be very scarce. It is also interesting that during its short run at least some production changes were apparently made. The one posted here...

    That one in Lexington looks really nice as long as you have natural gas. I wish we did.

    Custom CharQ Finally Complete!

    My wife knows that, for all my grill foibles, I would never bring a greasy mess grill inside.
