I got an email back from Weber customer service. My grill does indeed have a 10 year warranty on the cookbox. They will sell me a replacement for $250 + tax and shipping. The other online grill parts places want $350. As nice as a new one would be I think I’ll keep watching Craigslist. Plus...

I have tried to registe it but I don’t know if I was successful. It didn’t like the serial number on the registration page but was happy with it on the parts lookup page. I sent an email asking to clarify if it is under warranty. We’ll see… Eddie

How about that… I did find the original manuals. Still in nearly new condition. The warranty says only 10 years for the aluminum castings. There is a date printed on the manual of “11/97” and I was thinking I bought it in 98 or 99. So like most of my stuff (including my body) it is well out of...

I am the original owner but I probably didn’t register it and for sure didn’t keep the sales receipt. I think I do still have the original instruction book that came with it. I’ll have to go and look. Btw, those are beautiful handles. I replaced the handle and side shelf once but it is due...

This is my pride and joy: It is my firm belief that this is the best grill ever made. I bought it new sometime pre-2000 (things get fuzzy that far back) and I have used it regularly since then. It has mostly sat on the patio year round uncovered for 25 years. I replaced nearly everything...

Yes, this is a solid fix. The nuts I used were steel with a nylon insert for locking. Regular Lowe’s stock. Probably would have been better with stainless steel nuts. This grill is my number 2 to get rehabbed and I’ll probably use the inserts. Just finishing up my first rehab for my daughter. Eddie

Several years ago, long long before I found this site, the lower cross member of my grill frame fell off because these little inserts we are talking about rusted away. I asked around but no one had a clue what they were or where to find them. So I improvised. Here is the base of my grill: I...

Yes, it is in surprisingly good shape. Very little rust. It must have been covered all these years. Eddie

Oh, that looks good. I love chimichangas. I’ve got to try that. Eddie

I used the ones from McMasterCarr but I thought about using these: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00SHPSED0/tvwb-20 No little lip sticking out... Eddie

Started re-assembly. Replaced the frame cross member that the fire box bolts to. Everything is painted. Purchased new SS flavorizor bars, casters, wheels, ignighter box/w button, ignighter rocker button, drip pan, and SS bolts. Stripped one screw on a control valve trying to take it out. Need...

This is a question about the plastic/thermolite shelves, end caps and handle. The grill is a 2002 Silver B. On the first picture I posted on this thread you can (barely) see that the end caps, handle and swing shelf are a light gray. The removable work table is the original speckled color. The...

Some of y’all are sounding pretty close to heretical. Onions have to be fresh sliced or maybe chopped. Never grilled. That is what you do to meat. If they are not fresh then how will everyone you work with know you had a cheeseburger for lunch. Eddie

I wish I could find some place that had a good selection of hardware like the old fashion hardware stores. But they are gone. It is true for hardware, electronic parts, wood. Lowe’s and Home Depot only carry what has a pretty high volume and both carry the same thing, actually probably the same...

And I really appreciate it and still may take you up on that. I want to see if I can come up with a solution. I’m retired, have a small shop and have time to play. I’ll post whatever I figure out. Surely I won’t be the last person to run into this. I kept looking online because I was...

Yep, those thing. That’s what the owners manual called them. I drilled out one of the rubber stoppers with a 3/16 bit so it will hold tightly to the 1/4 bolt. I am definitely going to have to put a nut on first to hold the tank rack securely because the rubber stopper is pretty soft and may pop...

Ok, finally have a picture. The gasket is the little red ring around the brass piece and seals against the gas control bracket. Should I worry about changing them? Should I do any maintenance on the valve itself? Now is the time if it needs to be done at all. The other pieces shown are the tank...

Another question... the end of one of the nylon “tank glides” is broken. This looks like a tall hex acorn cap nut. It is used to hold the bottom edge of the tank away from the grill. I’ve seen stainless steel versions of this for $18 each but can’t find a plastic rubber or nylon version. Any...

It is coming along nicely. I spent today sanding the frame and doing some rust treatment. Little bit of sanding tomorrow the start painting the frame. I am going to replace the rusted cross member on Monday when the inserts from McMasterCarr arrive. I purchased a cheapo Craftsman grinder from...

I cooked a 6lb point cut half and a 3.5lb flat cut in the last few weeks on my 14.5wsm. This was the first real smoking I had done besides some chicken and some jalapeño poppers. I lite the smoker with the menion method (I think that’s the right name). I lit 6 or 8 coals in the chimney and...
