I’m with you, Josh. I enjoy being meticulous with projects on my own timeline. Once I get done I can sit back and say I did the best with my ability. I can be honest with myself and know I didn’t cut any corners. I think you convince me to skip the sandblasting and use the wire brush. I may...

Thank you Bruce. I may ask if he’ll do it for $50. If I decide to go the sandblasting route I’ll let you know what I find out.

Are you saying @Josh Dekubber permanently smells like a cookout? Seriously, this will be my personal grill. Learning along the way to maybe flip a few a year but don’t know enough yet. As we all know, this hobby can get to be a little expensive if we don’t watch ourselves.

Are you saying @Josh Dekubber

Ok just checking. 😀 is the sandblasting decision based on saving time and/or final finished surface. I assume both. I’m trying to justify if sandblasting. $80 an hour was what I was told. This seems to be the going rate I In the Detroit area. How long does it take typically for the fire box...

I bought the cheapest angle grinder from HF. at that time I know they didn’t have the 4 inch cup crimped. Come to think of it I don’t believe they had 3 inch either at my location. I’ll have to go back and take another look. Did Bruce buy up the 3 inch stock too? 😃

He change the price from $90 to $500, then down to $300 for a couple days, then jacked it up to $500 again today. Dude is playing games. Was wondering if that grill was worth $300, though?

Thank you Bruce!

Do you think these twisted cup brushes would be too aggressive for the fire box and lid side panels? Or just stick with the crimped?

I plan on taking the fire box off tomorrow and start disassembling the frame. I’m not familiar with the bottom crossbeam on this grill. Looks like there would be an insert inside the tubing that accepts the bolt. I think that may be broke. Anyway, I’ll just have to take it apart and assess...

I really think the grill is a bit wobbly at the moment. Once I get the frame shored up I am hoping that the burner will sit snugly.

Lol. I do sound crazy :oops:

I was thinking that too. Anyways, I have Frankenstein 3000 with a floppy side burner at the moment…but I’m determined to fix it right!!!

serial number matches up to the grill’s description but I haven’t seen a 3000 with the rh fold up table. Only 4000 have that rh table (that I know) but they have the flame sensor unit. This one doesn’t. Anyways there isn’t a schematic for the model I have. I’m probably missing something though.

This is LP. Blue lid AFF model. Serial number says it’s a 3000 but it doesn’t look like a 3000. Looks like a 4000 without the flame sensor thingy. Sorry not sure why the pics come in sideways.

Anyways that the rear view of the bolt that the front side bracket would attach to.

Sorry not sure why the picture is sideways

There is a hole in the frame

There has to be two different brackets. They have to be sym opp. I only can find the rear one for sale. That flange that clips into the burner pan would need to be flipped 180
