Wondering if it's smart to stock up on parts, in case they stop making them. Which are the most at risk? Burner tubes? Valves/manifold? Regulators? What prompted this is, someone is selling a propane regulator for $5. Is this worth it? Or does something generic exist that takes its place?

Thought this was a pretty cool lid design. Is this kind of a rare thing? Or fairly common?

Sorry if this has been asked before, couldn't immediately find this using the search. I've got a Genesis 2000 Redhead, running propane, with the wood shelves on both sides. It looks very similar to this one: https://tvwbb.com/threads/my-second-weber-restoration-genesis-2000-redhead.78622/ I'd...

OMG there's a ton of cool stuff at the Weber Store in Berlin! Totally out of coincidence, we happened upon the original Weber store. Was in Berlin on business, and didn't even know this existed! They had two main sections. - First is their storefront. All sorts of cool stuff. Gadgets I haven't...

Let's say you had to throw your tools / materials / cleaning & lubing supplies into a bag and go rescue/restore a Weber gasser. What would you toss into your bag? Details: Buddy has a Weber that we want to fix up and get working again. It's more convenient for me to drive my materials over to...

Just restored a Genesis grill. I'm excited to get grilling, but I'm actually finding it more challenging to learn than I thought! The Weber seems to cook so differently than my previous grills. Feels like I pretty much need to re-learn how to grill on this thing. What tips do you have on how...

When attaching new wood slats to the Z-Bars, how did you guys do it? Specifically, how did you get everything set up, with the wood slats straight and evenly spaced, before screwing them to the Z-bars? I almost feel embarrassed asking this question, as I'm sure I'm overlooking something easy.

Just received some Weber replacement parts. Instead of throwing away the instruction manuals that came with the parts, I thought it would be prudent to scan and upload them for the public good. Is there a central repository of these kinds of things? Weber 39906 - Igniter Installation...

Found this readhead while browsing Craigslist. Free readhead + propane tank. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/zip/d/free-weber-grill/6225370111.html Must be picked up by Friday. Would hate to see a good grill go to the dump.

I know I've seen this advice somewhere on this thread, but can't immediately find it. When restoring a grill, some folks use a wirewheel/etc. to remove carbon and other gunk from the inside of the firebox. That leaves exposed metal, and I assume that exposed metal is prone to rust if it is not...

Got my hands on a redhead. The cleanup process is coming along, but hit a snag on the lid. The lid has some stains that apparently came from the badge. Over time, the badge surface turned into a white flaky substance, which apparently "leaked" some haziness onto the porcelain top. It almost...

I'm so looking forward to restoring this Genesis, but it looks like I'm off to a crummy start! My fault, of course. Picked up a little redhead, and thought I was in business. It had the Liquid Propane connector and everything. Flipped over the control panel (the porcelain piece with text that...

For those of you who have completed restorations, what hardware items did you buy? (Nuts, bolts, screws, etc.) For example: Weber makes it relatively easy to find the wheels, knobs, etc. so those can be found. However, the small hardware items like nuts, bolts, screws, and cotter pins - those...

In an attempt to "do it right," I've been browsing the restoration threads on this forum. In doing so, I thought it'd be prudent to collect all the various bits of knowledge into one single "how-to" guide. While no single guide can be perfect for everyone or every grill, the idea is to capture...

Quick question: Where are the threads and/or pointers to rotisseries that fit the old Weber Genesis? I recently picked up an old RedHead (Looks similar to the photo below, but not the fancy platinum badging). My wife may let me keep it, if I can prove to her that it will work as our rotisserie...
