C'mon guys...let's see your spare Weber parts

[Jeff MA]

Wow Jon-you have your work cut out for you. Is that a Brown hood I spot?

You better study Ikea's methods of making everything fit knocked down flat pack boxes...

18.5 WSM parts. Center section, grill straps and grommet were free and the bottom and lid were at reduced prices.
I had intended to have this assembled for Memorial Day but Covid changed my plans of using 2 smokers.

 

[Leandro P]

Wow Jon you weren’t kidding. I love that Weber genesis poster very cool.

I told you so!

I know the weather isn't cooperating, but I hope it won't prevent you being able to come up to Hobe Sound and see in person!

Yes, a vintage 1988. My wife would hit me over the head if she realized how far I drove to get that thing. I think I paid $15, but twice that in gas. I plan to take that hood and incorporate it into my long-planned custom "Genesis 1.75" project. Obviously that will be postponed until I get moved and have my Indiana THIS OLD GRILL shop/factory open.



Leandro is hopefully coming up to Hobe Sound from the Miami area tomorrow. I am holding the rest of that brownie (body, frame & trays) to swap with him. Maybe he will make my wife happy and get a few other things as well!

 

[Bruce]

OK, you asked. Here it is.

 

[Stefan H]

OMG. That is crazy. No I would not want to be in your shoes moving all that stuff. You need a few trucks just for the grills. And is that red 26“ kettle?

 

[JohnS NJ]

Dare I say hoarder?

 

[Timothy F. Lewis]

Dare I say hoarder?

No, Jon,(Bruce and Stefan, et al.) these guys are “Curators” of parts! Always exceptionally quick to help pit some one (like me) with parts of expertise!

 

[JohnS NJ]

Was being comical. Inside this realm it’s praised and revered. Outside (like my friends and family), I got issues. Wish I had a shed like that full of goodies.

The thing about it is, if I am working on a grill and something comes up. An endcap this toast, a lid that was cracked you didn't notice. A thermometer that doesn't work, a drip tray that is worse than you thought, a missing bolt, screw, end cap, clip, whatever, I don't have to put my build on hold waiting to acquire another part. I know that if I pick up a Silver B or a Genesis 1000, it doesn't matter if the left table is cracked or the drip pan is rotted out, or the fire box has a huge bulge in it. I know I could take it home and rebuild it immediately.
I remember back my first couple years of doing rehabs. I was constantly scrounging for parts. Everything from lid hing pins to control panels and wheels. That is no longer an issue. And, when I have more spares than I need, I don't mind shipping a part or two off for a couple extra bucks to someone who is up against the wall on a rehab.
Do I suggest this for the guy that just wants to do one or two grills, heck no, but I am sure Dave, Jon, Stefan and some of the other rehabbers know what I am talking about.

Damn you guys have lots of parts! I have one small plastic tote full of a few spare pieces. Then just a bunch of cleaning supplies and paint. Biggest "spare" piece I have is my old 26" bowl. Hoping one day to run across a worn-out 26" lid to pair with it.

 

[Richard in NS]

The selling, trading and sharing of parts on this forum is amazing. Kudos to those who can do that. I have Bruce and his warehouse to thank for the left swing shelf for my 3000.

Much Appreciated!

Richard.

Holy cow ! Wow Bruce that’s very impressive! Very nice collection, love that you guys keep these grills going and save those parts from being trashed.

 

[NickF]

Holy Weberitis Batman! Bruce Thankfully you don’t live closer I would have to buy that brownie lid off you that you have in one of your sheds

 

[Leandro P]

Yea the brown one looks cool. If it wasn’t that I want a red head cause that’s what I remember from my childhood id go for one of those. I missed out on one a few months back still makes me sad it was up for hours when I found it but seemed like the person didn’t know how to use offer up messaging anyways thing looked in pristine shape. I just hope whoever got it is using it.
