Genesis Gold Part 2

[Steve Hoch]

Makes me excited to build my next keeper

Do one that needs absolutely everything like this pig did, it's a character builder

 

[Cody Bratton]

Looking good Steve! It seems our project completions are aligning with each other! I just have to screw some slats to Z bars, install the wheels and tank hanger, and decide on which lid it will be getting!

 

[Steve Hoch]

These new burner tubes were direct store branded. They look nice and fit perfectly. Grill fired up right away.

Can you drop a link Steve?

 

[Steve Hoch]

Something is going on with the side burner though. I did get it to fire up after several clicks but not at all after that. I'm not familiar at all with the igniter on these side burners but I will have to take it off and see if I can figure out what's wrong.

 

[Bruce]

Steve, first thing to do is to determine if it is "sparking" at the burner. Second thing to check is if it is still getting gas to the burner. That will narrow down your trouble shooting.

No problem. These are really nice for $22.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G65NSO2?tag=tvwb-20

It's getting gas. I think this is the problem. It was loose and not positioned right. I'm assuming it's broken somehow but I would rather try and get it to stay in place than buy an igniter kit that I don't even know how to find.

 

[Bruce]

I agree. As long as you are getting it to spark, then try to get it repositioned.

It sure looks nice and clean!

 

[Steve Hoch]

This little bracket holds the insulator in place. It's corroded and broken.

 

[Steve Hoch]

I got creative and wired the piezo in place, now it fires up every time. If anyone knows of a replacement igniter kit for these side burners, let me know. I would still like to fix it the right way.

 

[Bruce]

You wired the piezo or the electrode?

 

[Steve Hoch]

I am pretty much done with this grill.

 

[Bruce]

It is looking done to me. Is that Weber Fade on the control panel or a reflection?

 

[Steve Hoch]

You wired the piezo or the electrode?

I wrapped wire around the insulator on the electrode and what is left of the little bracket that's supposed to hold it in place. I should have taken a picture of what I did but I already put the side burner back on and tested it. It fires up on the first click now but it's a bit of a hack job.

 

[Cody Bratton]

Looks awesome!

 

[Steve Hoch]

No, it's fade. I talked about that a little earlier in the thread. The side burner control panel looks almost perfect though. Go figure that one.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I very much appreciate your attention to detail Steve!!

 

[Bruce]

Yah, I have had many lids and control panels that were great aside from the fade. It is sooo disappointing. I have a lid on my current rehab that has a small area in the top front with the fade. Such as shame. I do know the grill was used very little too.
