    Is this still salvageable? My first attempt at a restore.

    I knew the crossmember was rusted out and I wanted to replace all the hardware with SS. The more I've removed, the more rust I'm seeing.

    Frame painting

    I am going to attempt to do the crossmember fix this weekend. I will be getting a piece of bar stock and bolting in the new piece. When it comes to painting should I first prime the bar stock and then paint? Is one coat enough or should I do multiple coats? Also other parts of the frame I...

    Difficulty Using Thermapen

    I often cook chicken breasts on the grill and a pretty good percentage of the time they get overcooked and dry. I bought a thermapen to help me to pull the chicken off the grill when its done and food safe but before its been overcooked and dried out. But my experience so far with taking temps...

    New Cookbox

    Hello, I have 2005 Weber Genesis Silver A and the burner assembly rusted apart (the crossover tube). I order a replacement and in removing the burner assembly from the cookbox I noticed a hole in the cookbox itself. I have a huge area of corrosion in the bolt that attaches the cookbox to the...
