    My first restore - an Ol' Redhead Genesis 3 from the 80's

    DaveW, I definitely saw the differences between "newer" and "niceer" as I shopped for current Webers and and lok at the addictive prospects of restoring. Really happy with the results and that I restored. I chose the Gunstock stain as well but wanted a darker hue so ran a few layers of it and...

    My first restore - an Ol' Redhead Genesis 3 from the 80's

    My first restore - an Ol' Redhead Genesis 3 from the 80's

    The Weber forums have been an excellent way for me to learn about grills. I was just looking to replace my crappy CharBroil because I really didn't know or think there was much to a grill.
