    Vielux 56" major overhaul

    I pulled a valve off the Summit - it is completely different internally than Vieluxe even though similar btu with n-s burner layout Summit has round holes and Vieluxe has slots/channels in the plug The bonnet may fit but Summit has indexing for off-high-med-low whereas V has just off and high...

    Vielux 56" major overhaul

    Got it I’ll try to pull apart a Summit valve and compare to Vieluxe later today - not sure it would be much easier to source one of those though. If they match, maybe someone like Jon Tofte could compare between OG Summit and Genesis But if it’s just aesthetic and you can still properly secure...

    Vielux 56" major overhaul

    What is wrong with the valve that you would need to replace it? I just cleaned and lubricated all the valves on my new to me 44 Vieluxe and everything seems to work properly now with smooth modulation from low to high - the initial problem was sticking when pushing valves in I did not do a...

    Vieluxe 44 Restoration

    Dave Santana was able to weld new tabs onto my original Vieluxe burners and also fabricated the flavorizer bar hangers I got sloppy with the measurements for the hangers and had to tweak the new bars with a vise to fit - my fault entirely I figured out the burner that kept going out on...

    Vieluxe 44 Restoration

    The burners with slots are from my Summit 450 - I’m using them temporarily to get the grill operational I stupidly broke the tabs off of two original burners (see details above) the Vieluxe burners are 40% heavier than Summit and made with an 18SR alloy so Dave is going to try to come up with a...

    Vieluxe 44 Restoration

    Back to Vieluxe restoration… I made my way down to visit the great Dave Santana (aka rcplanebuyer) to pickup some flavorizer bars and smoke diffusers. He has a binder full of drawings for Weber (and Vieluxe) replacement parts. He inspected my original burners and agreed that they are worth...

    Vieluxe 44 Restoration

    I bought my Cebuchon already prepared from a Filipino market but followed these porchetta recipes for cooking ideas - keep in mind that Porchetta is traditionally made with pork loin wrapped in the middle whereas these recipes use only the belly. These are also made traditionally with Skin On...

    Vieluxe 44 Restoration

    A few things I noticed during this cook: The hood on this thing is pretty heavy - surprised they didn’t add a counter balance or springs to assist There are no tool hooks - NONE and nowhere to add something aftermarket Here are the results using only the rotisserie burner If I had something...

    Vieluxe 44 Restoration

    Sorry, I meant across all of the ceramic - top to bottom and left to right The entire surface was fouled and greasy intitially and I ran it on high for about 30min so far - the stripe down the middle appeared fairly quickly but hasn’t changed since Is there any way to tell for sure if the...

    Vieluxe 44 Restoration

    The Vieluxe burners were in such good shape that I was lulled into complacency removing them and busted out my dead blow hammer - yikes 20 yo Vieluxe burners that destroyed flavorizer bars and smoke diffusers on top of the main bars look better than my 3-4yo Summit burners that I have babied...

    Vieluxe 44 Restoration

    I am thinking maybe fabricate some kind of hanger to support the original Vieluxe burners that I broke. They broke at the pinch welds that seal the end and transition to the flat part with tab that inserts into mounting slots. Totally my fault - I should have been more careful

    Vieluxe 44 Restoration

    I was able to extract the 2 remaining Vieluxe burners without damage - they are in much better shape than my Summit burners And much more substantial - 40% heavier Other than the mounting tab expanding due to corrosion (making them difficult to remove - no different than summit) they look...
