    Another 56" Vieluxe Restore

    Be especially careful with the burners as they are unique in design and material (SR18 stainless steel) You can probably leave the burners in place and scrape around them. I probably won’t touch mine until the crossovers need to be replaced. The entire grease trough removes for easy cleanup...

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    Have you tried a carafe style filter like a Brita to polish the water right before you use it? If you use RO water maybe you could find a cartridge that is only carbon - that is really what I think you need Brita would remove some dissolved solids as well, which you would not want to use with...

    Another 56" Vieluxe Restore

    Welcome to the club! Flavorizer bars are generally used until they fall apart - rust wouldn’t bother me as long as they serve their function Any griddle insert that will fit the OG Spirit 300 will work. I bought the full griddle from Weber that is the corrosion resistant steel like on the...

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    RO doesn’t specifically target taste and odor - it is basically a super efficient particulate filter. Carbon is generally best for removing what we consider taste and odor Actually the carbon upstream is not for taste and odor - its primary purpose is to remove chlorine to protect the membrane...

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    Tanks, filter housings, tubing all installed recently? Integrated refrigerator filters? Mineralizers? Source water foul too?

    Tired of running multiple water filter systems

    The reason no one uses them in residential application is money and maintenance. I managed multistage RO systems that produced 30gpm of product that was further filtered with DI to lab grade that was distributed throughout our site. Purchase price of equipment is actually not bad compared to...

    56" Vieluxe Redux

    My grates are exactly the same. I saw a different design that had one grate that spanned both burners. The basin with the burners has no obvious drainage. Liquids will just pool and gradually seep out under the burners and seams in the sheet metal. Be careful with removal and assembly of the...

    This is what came with my Vieluxe (not sure if it was sold with the Vieluxe or was a rando supplied by the previous owner) Along with my whack thermometer…

    56" Vieluxe Redux

    That’s 0.22 amps - about 27 watts (may also have different gearing though) You need to confirm rod size - may be larger due to length This site has a bunch of rotisserie stuff https://www.onegrill.com/Electric_Grill_Rotisserie_Motors_s/208.htm

    56" Vieluxe Redux

    The rotisserie motor that came with my 44 was a standard metal Weber unit (not sure what else got a metal body) but I have used my OnlyFire motor with it also - so standard mount. You may want a little beefier motor (and confirm your drive size) since you can obviously add more on your spit...

    56" Vieluxe Redux

    I agree - heavy stainless would prevent any future issues Something tack welded on to properly place and maintain position of flavorizers

    56" Vieluxe Redux

    I picked up a stainless pot from ikea that replaced the original aluminum grease catcher - slightly smaller but still secure Your thermometer looks like it may still be accurate - mine points to 4 o’clock when off My roach clip looks exactly like yours…

    56" Vieluxe Redux

    I think there is a simpler way for supports rather than the tabs that hold the saddles for the bars How about a C-channel with one leg at grate level - the other at flavorizer level and add spacers to keep the bars in place? I would probably use rivets rather than nuts and bolts - would be...

    The engraved labels on your Vieluxe are super cool - much better and more durable than mine Post in thread 'Vieluxe 44 Restoration' https://tvwbb.com/threads/vieluxe-44-restoration.98335/post-1154822 What do the grates for the side burners look like? On mine, the supports for the...

    56" Vieluxe Redux

    At least one of the burners looks salvageable. May be able to repair others as well. If you need to use summit burners, you may want to weld “closed” the first few orifices so that it doesn’t damage anything on your front panel - they are shorter, but ports are in different locations.
