Thanks Jon! Have you found an easy way to tighten down the lid handle? Mine still moves even after it’s tight.

Thanks for the feedback Tim. Yes will try the endcap removal on my next restore. - - - Updated - - - Thank you Sam

Thanks Bruce. Yes I will remove the end caps starting with the Genesis 3000 I am working on. I never thought of touching those boots unless the end caps were coming off and in need of replacement. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Hello everyone. I wanted to share some pictures of my first Skyline restoration. I was in Las Vegas on business and happened to find this grill for sale on Offer Up. I happened to drive and it worked out great because I was able to just pick up the grill from a nice couple. I had fun working on...

Tim, thank you for the plug advice. Worked like a charm! Bruce thank you for the picture. Another quick question: I can’t seem to get my skyline lid handle not to slide even after being tightened. The slots are oval shaped in the handle and I just can’t get it get it to tighten. Do any of you...

Hello Everyone. I tried doing a search first but could not find so I thought I’d ask. I am in the middle of a Skyline Resto and had 2 quick questions. Is it still ok to use simple green and 0000 Steel Wool to clean a Skyline Lid without damaging the Skyline logo? Also I am missing one of the...

Thanks Bruce and thanks for all of your help!

Hello everybody. Just want to share photos of my first restoration. I was able to pick this grill up for $40. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. It needed a lot of work, however. This was very challenging because I did not have most of the tools needed to complete this task. I had...

Beautiful grill!

Good morning all. I searched this site and did not see so I was hoping I can seek guidance on a topic. I am heading down the home stretch of my 1100 Red Head rebuild and I will be putting together the wood slats this weekend. While I am somewhat clear on the wood below the firebox, can someone...

Great. Received and sent. Thanks

Hello Bruce no rush but I sent you a private message. I’m just curious if I’m doing messaging correctly. Can you please confirm if you got it? Thank you very much Robert

How refreshing. I look at all your pictures and everyone else’s and they are works of art!

Hello Dave any advice on the staining and varnishing process? I sanded and stained successfully. I applied the first coat of spar varnish which went great until I flipped it over and some of the spar varnish dripped under the underside. Now every side looks great except the underside there are...

Thank you! 5/16 wood screws. Looks like I now have to get some pennies and buy a clamp!

Hello Dave thank you. You mentioned 5/16 wood screws . I assume these are to hold the wood slats to the Z-bar correct? if so is there a particular length?. I need to go out today and buy the screws. The screws that I took out , believe it or not, were a mixture of different screws. I’m just...

Thank you very much I will try that. On a sidenote do you happen to know the size of the screws to hold the wood slats into the Z bars? Thank you

Hello All, I just replaced the propane hose on my 90's Genesis 1100. I screwed it into the brass elbow fitting under my manifold. When I did a soap test, I found a leak here. The factory brass elbow is cracked. Can I just get a new one at a hardware store or is it a specialty item? Just because...

Thank you Dave!
