I just looked at my Summit 450 side burner - there is no safety interlock for gas since there is plenty of ventilation out the back Also, you would be better off just bypassing the disconnect with a 1/4” Male x Male hose if that turns out to be the problem Pipe fitters I used to work with said...

My Vieluxe with enclosed side burners has a mechanical gas shutoff that opens the supply valve when drawer is slid over to operate. My Summit 450 side burner has a cover with the entire rear exposed for ventilation and no gas safety interlock.

I haven’t contacted the guy with platinum frame yet - that is 80miles away I’m picking up the silver B tomorrow- it fires up apparently but can’t tell if bars or burners are good If my brother in law decides he wants the whole works with side burner, then I’ll look into the platinum I sent...

So I use the firebox from Silver B? What about manifold? Guy has boxes of parts and I’m not sure what’s there but didn’t see a firebox or lid… Silver B and similar is anything with plastic shelving right? Found this freebie

Would this platinum frame work? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/352015508001163/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post

Can I just get some aluminum flat bar and attach as rails for drain pan? Does the front panel serve any purpose other aesthetics and hiding the manifold? Looking to get it operational and address rust issues. I was thinking pull the frame/manifold, brush and hit with rustoleum. Do what I can...

My original Genesis 2000 that was passed along to my sister when I got the Summit 450 needs some love. Some rust throughout frame, needs slats, grates, drip pan rails (where can I get these)… but drip pan looks serviceable and stainless bars seem intact Am I missing something? Worthwhile...

This just popped up in my Amazon recommendations… 6787 knock off only $40 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP3LHGPB?tag=tvwb-20

I actually haven’t cooked on the Quilimetal either. Originally I intended to have one grate and one griddle on the Vieluxe but went down the griddle insert rabbit hole and wound up with the full size 6787. Having cooked on the full griddle, I now see the limitations of what you can actually...

Maybe same material but not same quality - not as smooth and definitely not rust resistant My insert is same as Slate which is higher grade than regular Weber griddle line they replaced - compare them side by side at your local hardware store I bought this “nonstick” quilimetal cast iron...

Here is a video discussing stainless griddles This guy used SS griddles exclusively in the Navy

Couple of comments… Stainless steel cooks differently and is not nonstick - we have a set of all clad that sits unused because it’s a pain in the *** to prevent sticking Cast iron can be seasoned (except if enameled - I bought a half griddle that replaces one grate exactly - it is rough and...

This fits on my Vieluxe and Summit 450 - anything that says Spirit 300 will fit Went as low as $149 but I got mine for $159 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BJY6L7JV?tag=tvwb-20 Not sure if I was able to get TVWBB affiliate link included properly

Is the foil tray right up to the grate? Wondering if the smoke will get underneath and how the bark will turn out

For reference here is similar testing with main burners on Low then Med with 4th probe clipped to temp gauge on lid I could not test burners on High since the probes are only rated to 600f…

I ran some tests on the Vieluxe to see if I could do a smoke infusion/sous vide type cook with just the smoker burner lit. I started on Low with increase to Med @4:00 then High @4:30. Here are pics of the setup and signals temp tracking Then I smoked some pork chops to 140f and seared...

To master one pedal driving you have to avoid driving any other cars until your mind adjusts. I read that human performance studies show one pedal driving to ultimately be more intuitive but you must stick with it until you feel comfortable. I crossed the rubicon and now much prefer one pedal...

Josh What is the diameter of the temp gauge? I’m looking for something exactly 3.0” OD for my Vieluxe - I bought a 3” Tel-tru but it’s actually larger than the bezel Thanks Ray

I just visited this restaurant supply in Oakland to get some accessories for my new griddle insert - broad range of goods and reasonable prices https://eastbayrestaurantsupply.com/

Is there any reliable way of telling whether the peach is freestone? Most markets don’t list the variety - I got a batch of clings and couldn’t grill them
