I don’t mess around! When I say something I mean it! That grill needs its originally designed equipment! It’s not an A+ piece, but it’s era correct

Sure, but rehabbing it an putting the newer style drip pan on there to start with is OK while locating a suitable replacement for the old style grease pan and drip tray.

That's a shame about the drip tray, but it happens to all of us eventually. I think it's perfectly acceptable to use the other one. You will probably stumble on to another correct one at some point.

Thanks Steve! Yeah I hope I find another one I think that early style is a cool design. I actually put the old one back on just for now while I'm working on it. From the front it looks perfect LOL

Let me take a look under my deck. Something tells me I may actually have one of those drip pans

Larry, next time I stop over, I have to tour the underside of your deck. It seems like a pretty prolific Weber Boneyard.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

What about cutting a thin sheet of aluminum to fit the back side where the holes are and just lay the piece on top of the holes?
That might get you a few years of life on that drip tray.

You could also make a piece for each of the sides and have them welded together. Then you would have an “insert” for the drip tray.

Like I said, it’s not an A quality piece. But would definitely do the job for a while.

Thanks Cody I appreciate it. Very kind of you to offer. I think I'll plan to stick with the perfect one off my Genesis 3 for now and see how this project goes.

Some more ironwood pics from my neighbors deck.
The last one is under the eve and still pretty dry....

I have plenty to do at least one grill worth of slats but probably not doing them on this one. Hard to cut but probably one of the best choices for wood slats on a grill for durability and longevity.
