restored genesis skyline

A while back I picked up the first half of my long-standing idea to create a custom Skyline 2-burner grill. It was the easier part, a pretty decent late Silver A with black knobs and trim. The cabinetry isn’t perfect, but it isn’t a rust bucket like many others I have seen. Then I was on the...

I thought I would put up this restore thread on a Skyline I did a couple years ago. It was one of my favorite builds and I went all out with black knobs, black handles and even a Weber Rotisserie. I sold this to a guy about 4 hours away in another state and he was buying it for his hunting...

I originally went to pick up a Genesis Platinum, but the seller sold it as I was on the way. I ended up finding this beat up Skyline. After 20 minutes of Simple Green and some #0000 steel wool, things are looking promising. I may have an extra shelf from my previous restore, so might look up...

As one of the charter members of our unofficial "Skyline Club" I am pathetically behind in having my own entry completed. Working a job plus two part-time endeavors plus family dynamics makes it hard for me to set aside the kind of time that serious grill restoration seems to take. Plus, those...

Our pup Abby got me up at 5am so the newspaper wasn’t here yet. I got my tablet and started looking at the forum. Then decided to check out Craig’s List for Weber’s in hopes of finding my elusive Skyline. Checked up here in the Prescott area…Nope. Checked Phoenix and BINGO! There is a Skyline in...

I know, "How long does it take to finish just ONE grill?!!!" Well, in the case of my Skyline "Chicago" dream grill, apparently pretty long:(... However, I HAVE been busy, and my long dreamed of grill is starting to look like something: In my last post about this grill, I showed that I had...

Well, I know I have gabbed excessively about my dream Skyline “Chicago” grill. Mostly it has been a phantom in my imagination and some hoarded parts. Yesterday I finally started on the frame and at least there is the beginning of an actual grill: I bought a brand new classic wheel for the...

Hi Everyone I have loved grilling since forever, and all through school I grilled maybe 4 days a week. There was even a month when I didn't have hot water (late payment!), but I could not would not be without propane in the grill. Since I was young and ignorant, I thought I was fine with the...
