    Your chance to own a rare classic genny!

    One of the best posts ever. I am glad I have a stash of Freedom Cookers. I live close enough to get that grill. 5000's are not my style. The glass doors look like an old stereo or something. I do like the special pin stripe hoods and I think they would look good on a Frankengrill.

    Grilling over charcoal is objectively, scientifically better than grilling over gas

    Well said and this is exactly right. You can drive '67 Camaro or a 2019 Corolla Hybrid. I would prefer to commute in the Corolla and cruise in the Camaro. Both cars are fantastic and neither of them "suck". People get hung up with PC vs Mac, Android vs iPhone, Hybrid vs Diesel. The emotionally...

    Questions on a Weber gas grill for my Son.

    Heed Jason's advice. My second grill was this exact one. I was so excited to have the lower doors and I didn't pay any attention to the rust in the lower left of the cabinet. The problem is that the lower pan is a structural member for the rods that hold the doors in. If you take the pan out the...

    Grandfathers 1988 Redhead Restored

    WOW ! Excellent job coach. Love that basketball flooring. How bout under the hood ??? Any pics of that? Very well done and I think it is awesome that your grill will end up being an heirloom. Get a good cover (look for a vintage 9859 on eBay) and keep an eye on that frame. We would all love to...

    Rusted out drip tray rail removal and replacement

    I used PB, let it soak, only to have the bolt fail and twist in half anyways. After that I ended up drilling it which was easy. Started small and went all the way through the bold using patience and then worked my way up to bigger bits until it was done. I had sprayed the PB on the inside and...

    Need help identifying my Genesis

    Flip Grills, Get Rich $$

    Amen brothers !!! I like what Dave W said about spending money at the movies, gun range, etc. I don't drink (anymore) so for me to drop $50 or less on a grill is chump change. Most people spend that at Starbucks in a couple weeks. I have something to show for it that brings me joy. I just sold...

    Please do my brother. I do love me some bubbly water. Perhaps a Fever Tree ginger beer if I am really feeling saucy. I just ripped this bad burner to celebrate: I think I need to improve my spray painting skills if I am going to get my janky grills lookin fine. Anyhoo I would love to visit...

    Have fun loading that beast up. I don't care how much that originally cost. That is not worth $500. It is very cool but really??? Who in the heck (other than us freaks on this site) will appreciate a monstrosity like that. I bet that originally came from California BackYard originally. Some...
