restored genesis 1000-5000

I just recently completed my first restoration of a Weber, specifically this 1998 Genesis 1000. It was something that I never realized that I wanted to do until I saw this thing sitting on craigslist. It was a really fun project to do, something to tinker with for a while, especially during this...

My dad had a boxy red Weber when I was a kid. He still has it. Through my desire to find "buy it for life" items for our home that I can care for, and that will take care of me, I found that the older Webers are as good as it gets. I started with a Green 1999 Spirit that I thought I would...

Greetings all. I stumbled on this forum the other day after searching for parts to start my new project. I am glad I found you guys because I have learned a lot about this old grill in all the great rebuild threads. I had been wanting to do a project like this for awhile and I found the perfect...

Thought I'd start a thread on my latest grill. I would guess that most of you wouldn't even mess with a grill like this, but they are so rare around here that I went ahead with it even though I doubt I'll get my money back on it. Grill was a rust bucket... The cross member by the firebox-...

Howdy, I came across this site while looking for older Weber grills. There is a ton of info here and I have tried my best to read the basics, thank you to those who have shared. I have never had a gas grill but I have cooked on charcoal, wood and a flat top for years. I was at a relative's...

Bought a Weber Genesis 1000 off of Nextdoor for $40. It included what appears to be nearly all original parts, but has been taken great care of. So well in fact, that the person selling still had the original manual that their father was given when he purchased the grill. It has handwritten...

I had a couple weeks off recovering from a surgery and not many things to do with everything being closed/restrictions post surgery, I happened to find a new project to pass the time and completely went completely down this rabbit hole. I was driving down the street, and someone put this on the...

Hey guys I want to first off thank everyone ( especially Bruce, Larry and Jon )who has helped me with this rehab via DM’s or post replies. Also I’m really bad and taking pictures throughout the process so bare with me. Ok now that I got that out of the way....one day last month I was combing...

This is been kind of a long project in the making, with just an hour or so here and there where I could find it. But I've gotten some help from folks here and wanted to post my progress in return! This is the first Genesis I've done and I've been thrilled with it so far. I'll post on this the...

Picked up this grill from the original owner back in August 2019 for $100. He's kept it indoors, changed out the burners a year ago, came with extra grates, original owners manual and an extra igniter new in the box. This thing is in great condition for being in South Louisiana it's whole life...

First of all, thank you to all the Gasser Forum denizens that freely share their knowledge and experience so that a person like me with no experience with tools could start and finish a project like this. I got hooked last summer browsing the Gasser Forum seeing all the beautiful Genesis...

You guys reeled me in - so much good information on this site about Genny restoration that I felt like I had to give it a try. My dad still had his Genesis 3 Redhead that I wanted to be the base of the restoration but it just needs too much work, it's got frame issues and the bottom of the fire...

Hi Folks, A few years ago I bought this Weber grill. I know it is a Genesis but can't determine which one. Hope you can help me. Model year is 1993. See this pictures for further info: https://www.flickr.com/photos/186354457@N04/albums The grill works well but could needs some TLC. I've...

Hello all, I've been frequenting the forum for quite a while and don't post, but I wanted to show y'all my latest project. I picked up a 96 LP900 Redhead on Cl and wen't right to town. What I did: Completely disassembled Media blasted the firebox and lid end caps (Paid a powder coating...

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...

So I've never had a Weber before, and never understood the love for them. I've also never restored anything, so this was a project I was intimidated by and excited to tackle. After looking around for a strong propane grill to have on my patio under my deck, I knew I needed to get my hands on an...

You all saw my other post asking about knobs and wheels on the 1995 2000 I recently acquired. I'll use this post to document (scientifically!:') the completion. Here's a few picks as received. Nothing really remarkable, just an old dirty grill: I'm really not a big gasser guy,but do...

This is my first Weber grill! After owning several Walmart specials, I decided it was probably time to get a decent one. While researching new models I stumbled across this forum and was hooked! I found this Genesis 1100 earlier this year on OfferUp. It was $100 which may have been a little...

Hello all, Here is my Genny 1000 restoration project. I started it last fall and finished it early last winter but now am just getting to posting the pics. Found this redhead for free... Starting to clean up... Ahhh the good old days... Painting the frame...it was well kept, minimal...
