Hello all! I recently acquired an iGrill thermometer. I was hoping to pick up a probe that would let me monitor the ambient temperature in my smoker. From what I can see, the only place to buy an ambient temperature probe for the iGrill is from their website. It is $25. Is it worth it to...

Unfortunately, I only have a Genesis Silver B

I've purchased a quality 7 pound Prime Rib roast from Costco and am planning on cooking it tomorrow for a dinner party. I wanted to try smoking this prime rib on my Weber Genesis Silver B. I haven't smoked anything before, but have read quite a bit about smoking. I'll lay out what my basic plan...

What makes it better than the traditional weber charcoal grills?

Someone in my area just posted a Pabst Blue Ribbon Weber 18" grill for sale for $50. He states that he has only used it twice, and the pictures make it look like that is the case. Is this a good price for the grill? Anything special about the PBR version of the grill? Link for the curious...

Phrasing man...:)

I've replaced the end caps on a silver b. They are an easy replacement. No need to replace the entire hood. The only reason they don't want to replace it yourself is because it's kind of a pain. There isn't enough clearance between the nuts and the top of the hood to use a standard ratchet, and...

Quick update on this. I finally got the pins out. I did have to use a hacksaw and a few drill bits, but I got em out and have replaced the cookbox. Thanks for everyone's help! Next step, wait for the temperature to rise above 50 so I can finish repainting my frame.

I live in humid Madison, WI. I got a Genesis Silver B for free while helping someone move. It was in pretty rough shape, but I spent some money to replace the internals of the grill. This included replacing the burner tubes. This year, while replacing the cookbox, I noticed that my burner tubes...

I took a bit of a different approach. Since I was replacing the bottom cookbox, I went ahead and broke the head of the pin off using a combination of drill bits and pliers. After that was broken, I pried off a piece of the cookbox that allowed me to slip the top right off. I'll use a hacksaw to...

Welp, it looks like I am going to have to go the hacksaw/drill route. After applying PB blaster a dozen times today and trying to use vice grips to rotate the pins I got no results. I then tried to use a hammer to tap them out. When that didn't work, I tried to wedge a screwdriver in between the...

Thanks! I'll try applying PB Blaster for a while. How often should I reapply? Ever hour? Half hour? 10 minutes?

The problem is with both pins, not just one. I just assumed they should be able to easily slide out since they had a clip at the end of the pin. They move horizontally very freely on the cookbox, and they rotate on the coobox, but they refuse to budge on the lid.

How did you clean the greyish surfaces of your grill so well? Was it just Simple Green, a garden hose, and elbow grease as well?

Hello all! I'm currently in the process of restoring a Weber Genesis Silver B Grill. I acquired the grill for free and it was in pretty rough shape. I replaced most of the internals last year and the grill worked great. The Cookbox is the last piece that needs replacing. While attempting to...

Hello tvwbb users, I'm Eric Collyer. I'm located in Madison, WI. I joined this forum because I recently acquired a used Weber Silver Genesis model B. It was in pretty rough shape, but I'm currently in the process of restoring it. Here's to many years of fine grilling on my Weber grill!
