After I finished restoring the red head 1000 last summer I told Barb never again would I restore another grill.
Well some much for that idea. I was cruising Craigslist and to my surprise here’s a 2002 silver B for free 15 minutes from my house. It had been listed just 20 minutes before I saw it. The guy said he was moving and it had to be gone by 1pm or Goodwill would be taking it.
No phone number just an address so Barb and I jumped into the 4runner and drove over to take a look. It was in pretty decent shape so I dragged it home.
Going to need a new 8” wheel and new flavorizer bars, the grates were the stamped ones and shot but I had an extra set of CI grates that fit it. It has a new regulator and I even got a new full bottle of propane.
Burners are in good shape and it’s a greenie like my 2000.
Frame is fine so just a little clean up and I’ll flip it.
If anyone has an 8” wheel that goes to a 1000 or later silver series they would like to part with please PM me and let me know what you want for it.
To keep Barb happy I want to keep the cost down on this one and I think $20 + shipping for a new plastic wheel from Weber is ridiculous.
Something that made me suspicious was included with the grill was a NG hose. When i tested the burners with the propane the flames were high and very orange. The ID tag says the grill was LP but with the regulator being new I'm suspicious that it was converted to NG with a NG manifold and then converted back to LP by just adding a LP regulator.
Your thoughts?
