    56" Vieluxe Redux

    Thanks for the info Larry! How old do you think that one is? I am used to seeing the more recent MM grills on Marketplace, but I don't think I have ever seen this model. Looking at that heavy cast iron grate over the side burner, it is hard not to think the designers had the Vieluxe in mind as...

    These are the knobs from my newer version “double.” If you wanted to take a walk on the wilder side, you could try painting the Broilmaster name and flame light blue similar to how some of us paint the kettle red on the Weber badges. 😲

    I think satin or semi-gloss would look good. I used a Krylon high heat satin that they don’t seem to offer any longer on this one:

    I could go either way, but personally think if you do some new paint sanded off that it would look better just doing the logo rectangle.

    Broilmaster G-2000D Restoration

    You can still find some leftover cast iron burners, but they are not that amazingly rugged design.

    Broilmaster G-2000D Restoration

    Wow! That’s some hunk of a cast iron burner! Being able to take it apart is a cool feature letting you thoroughly clean it. By the time they made my “double” they had dropped down to the relatively thin stainless ones. They certainly don’t last 50 years like yours😃!

    56" Vieluxe Redux

    Sorry I have been behind in posting the at least the small progress I have made on my Vieluxe. Maybe this weekend will bring more. I will try to catch up where this project sits very soon. Meanwhile, I saw this older Members Mark grill for sale for $150 and was struck by its rough comparison to...

    Broilmaster G-2000D Restoration

    I don't think the double was made with side shelves, but that doesn't mean you can't add them. Mine only has a front shelf, but it is a newer model where they went to slats. The one thing I would say is that the side shelf on the right might get in the way of the big handle you use to move...

    2008 E-320 LP BLK (GRN)

    I am thinking of a completely new bottom - maybe even thick wood as some have used (but please paint gray!) and making it wide enough to mount what's left of the frame on top of it. Then get some decent casters attached to the bottom four corners.

    Cody's Corner of Random Rehabbing & Shenanigans

    Cody, I will echo what Bruce said. I have been there, and it does take time. Things will never be fully the same, but you will heal🙏. When I was little, my Dad used to take me places on Saturday mornings, a favorite was to go feed the ducks at one of the local ponds. I still get a little...

    I did the same, Josh! Turns out that the only one I had was a black one. Pretty hard price to turn down!

    Picked up an old broilmaster double grill today...

    I have wondered that myself, at least to the extent of the logo portion. If you are going to paint anyway, maybe experiment with it before you do?

    I am going to look at my stash first and may order a few as well.

    3D printing an old part

    I just wanted to say that I just bought a few sets of Steve’s wheel inserts - both the very early type and the more common “middle” whitewall version. Everything is TOP DRAWER and superior to any I have bought from other 3D printers. Steve obviously goes the extra mile and I am very happy to...

    Broilmaster G-2000D Restoration

    Yes, wow, the “oven” right side looks to have seen almost no use at all! That looks like a great starting point. Funny we now have three of these uncommon grills among our group!

    Broilmaster G-2000D Restoration

    Josh, I will be getting mine out of my son’s shed after years of drydock. I will try to get pictures of my front shelf and brackets, although mine is a later model.

    Yeah, that one is a great deal and looks closer to the original!

    While you won't find a thermometer EXACTLY like that golden oldie, you CAN still buy white square thermometers that will at least look close: https://www.broilmaster-gasgrillparts.com/html/part-TG-2B.htm
