2003 Weber Genesis Silver B round handle

[Tom Russo]

Hi there, I saved a 2003 Weber Genesis Silver B from the trash recently. Other than grates, I attached a propane tank and it fired right up. My question is concerning the handle. My handle is a piece of wood, with a diameter of 1.5”, probably not original. According to the serial number the handle should be rectangular. Here are some pictures. Weber is unable to find me a part number at all, and at this point I am going to simply go to Home Depot to get a wooden dowel and ciut it to size. Has anyone ever seen this type of handle. Thanks

You can fit the original handle by removing the handle extensions or whatever they're called from the end caps. I've got a brand new original handle for that grill if You're interested.

That handle is a Grill Out Light Handle. Which is like you say not the original handle.

Good call Samuel, the wooden dowel handle was throwing me off.

Nice save, Tom... Not only did you get a green lid but you also got the right hand flip table. Very useful.

Yes, I have seen owner's mod it that way once the light burns out.

Steve is this the OEM handle?

Yep, looks identical to the exact same 2 flip up table green head I gave daughter's boyfriend for his b/day last year

First thank you for the reply…but I’m confused….younare saying that I should be able to remove the part of the lid that the dowel handle goes through?

Yes, there is a bolt that holds the handle on each side. Look in the red circle that I put on your photo.

Ok, I just looked at the grille and I see exactly what you are talking about.
