    Vieluxe Score Again!

    I am potentially interested in a number of parts if any are ones you are willing to sell. The obvious ones are any burners you would be willing to sell and any intact flavorizer bars, but I sure wish there was a way to get the assemblies that hold the grates and flavorizers safely removed (not...

    Help identifying and finding small plastic part

    Thanks, DanHoo! I would say that is as close as I am likely to find(y). I needed 20, so I am good with this package. Maybe I can help others out with some. I think the "sidewinder" Genesis 300 used these as well. FYI: The ones that hold the older Genesis control panels have a higher stance and...

    Help identifying and finding small plastic part

    I am hoping some of you more experienced with finding obscure parts can help me with this one for my VIeluxe project: These are plastic inserts that go into the control panel to provide you with something to then screw down the bezels. Being over 20 years old and the grill being exposed in the...

    I think that one is likely legit, but does look like the scammer ones. Still wouldn’t want it!

    Looks very impressive - especially in black, but underneath are acres of regular steel in the cabinetry and that faulty firebox design.

    New Weber Smoque being released

    My local Ace which recently moved into a way bigger location now has an extensive display of Webers :coolkettle: ! They have both a Smoque and a Searwood. The obvious differences in appearance that I quickly saw is that the Smoque has a less unconventional drip arrangement. The Searwood was...

    That was always my understanding.

    Cleaning Warming Racks and Swinging Baskets on Early Genesis.

    Just to beat this horse a little more...I have the feature card for the Genesis 2 that you kindly gave me Larry. It clearly mentions the warming rack (even giving the sq. inches it adds) but makes no mention of the swing basket as standard or as an option. Of course, this is just an 8X11...

    Curb Alert !!!

    Wow, free...Yes not perfect but based on pictures not nearly as bad as seller describes. Yah, that would be one to grab!

    Curb Alert !!!

    Here is the inside of the special brochure they made for the Skyline Series. It shows the 3 models, all in black:

    I agree it still has to be looked over carefully, but I would say if you want one, that's about as good a deal as you are likely to find.

    Cleaning Warming Racks and Swinging Baskets on Early Genesis.

    Nice work on saving those, Val! :coolkettle: I have to say that most of those that I have recovered on old grills were WAY more crusted with rust. When it gets that bad, you really can't do much with them. I believe there are some stainless options for the warming rack, but I don't believe any...

    It's not real far from me. Maybe somehow, I can find some time to go check it out, ONLY for the purpose of learning more! I would like to try the magnet test on the "stainless." New burners, new flavorizers, lots of cleaning...Even if all that was cost effective, dragging home ANOTHER large...

    Free is free, and plenty of stuff you can use. And it could still be simply cleaned up and sold even with fade if you wanted to go that route.

    I will just leave this here

    A Vieluxe Alternative Saw this for just 50 bucks. It offers quite a bit in size and features. Lost of stainless, 5 burners, rear infrared, side burner, and pull-out tray for LP tank. With my 56" Vieluxe in progress and on my mind, this one kind of seemed like a bargain version!:smilekettle...

    A recent 1998 Genesis 1000 I picked up - yet another project...

    I definitely agree that the classic wood slat grills look so classy! I will just admit that for fast cooking and cleanup, thermoset may look chinsy compared to wood, but it is a breeze to clean. And, I do really like how those tables lock into place. I think giving up on swing tables was an...

    A recent 1998 Genesis 1000 I picked up - yet another project...

    Thanks, Hank and Josh, I think that makes sense. While I greatly prefer the "look" of wood slats, besides ease of cleaning of thermoset, one thing I think Weber got right with the change to the Silver/Gold models was the easy swing up and lock feature of those thermoset tables. I have never...
