Not much of a Maillard reaction, although I do see some grill marks. Perhaps a higher sear temp next time? 🤓 Gerry

The side burner on his grill has been added later. The side burner from the earlier Genesis 3 had the igniter button and control knob in the front, under the frame, not on top. Gerry

Very nice restoration on a classic Weber! I love those older ones. I have two of them. They sure don’t make them like they used to. I doubt any of the newer ones will be cooking steaks for 39 years! Gerry

I’m gonna need a bigger truck…

Yeah, last one we bought was about '92. We are still using my dad's from '87 and another free one that was built a bit earlier than dad's. Other than fixing the frame and replacing the wood, I never saw a reason to (upgrade? :unsure:) get a newer one. Gerry

Thanks Bruce. I just ordered the electrode kit. I don't have any of those burner tubes, so once I get the electrodes I will see if I can fab something up to mount them. Gerry

That is a very interesting project. If one wanted to copy your idea, but had no spare parts laying around, what parts would need to be ordered? Thanks, Gerry

Tax seasons come and go every year like clockwork. Flat tops don't come around much. This is a once in a lifetime chance! :) Gerry

Well, I just went to pick up my cutting board. Fortunately, I opened the box and took a look at it before I left. I recommend doing this. It is still there, and I got my money back. The wood was splitting, and one of the edge lips was coming off. Gerry

That's great!

I bought my wife a Misono UX10 chef's knife and a smaller (Petty?) knife. They work well, but she has a habit of curling the edge and she refuses to straighten the edge with the nice honing sticks hat were provided with the Edgepro sharpeners that I use to keep her knives sharp and her happy. I...

You are giving me way too much credit! :)

When I welded up my frames, I used heavier gauge stock. It allowed me to tap and thread the frame to attach items like the propane tank hanger without having to through bolt or use self tapping screws. However, anything that has to slip into the ends if the frame tubes might have to be trimmed...

This might help: https://tvwbb.com/threads/restoration-projects-1992-genesis-1-and-late-80s-genesis-2.76238/ Scroll through the pics on page 2 and the last page to see how it looks after 4 years. Gerry

I would (and did) retain the natural SS finish. Well, I polished it a little, but didn't paint it. I'll never have to fix paint chips. I was thinking making the shelves wider side to side. I think it simplifies construction. You just need two longer frame tubes. As far as how wide? How much...

If I was starting from scratch, I would remake the frame out of stainless steel. That way it lasts forever. Mild steel with a porcelain coating may rust from the inside out. Aluminum would be interesting, but it does oxidize over time. Then I would modify it to fit the space it will live in...

Crap! That’s where I left it! I’ve been looking all over for it:geek: Gerry

We Troglodytes just go with this:

Nice! You wouldn’t be moving to Lake Villa, Illinois?

Looks like that promotion is over. Gerry
