Hello hello!

Yo!

Name is Ash from Canada. I've mostly dabbled with pellet grills for smoking but finally my laziness got to me and thought I should get a gas BBQ. Been lurking these pages for the past week/two and been learning lots.

Been scouring the used ads and wow people wanted 250 plus for their silver genesis/gold or older models (1000 I think) all running on NG. I was hoping to find a propane but they are far and few between.

I was working today and luckily found a 2013 E-330 (I think) in pretty good shape for $100 cdn...I knew I had to jump on it....it was natural gas. I don't even have a NG hook up yet lol Hopefully get one installed in the next week or two.


I am new to all this so go easy on me...never refurbished or did major cleaning. There seems to be some flaking on cookbox on the right side. How would one fix that?

Welcome from Kalona, IA. I'm sure you will find plenty of help here. Enjoy!

Hi Ash and welcome to TVWBB, that's definately a great buy you got on used Weber for $100 , if you are refering to the flaking (carbon build up ) in the cookbox most people use a paint scraper or the razor type paint scrapers to remove the carbon build up. .

Thanks! I took a razor scraper for a section and seems like it is removing the paint flakes and revealing the aluminum (?) cookbox. Might need to take it apart to repaint but that is a larger job.

It just depends how nice you want it to look. At the very least doing a thorough cleaning of everything on the grill should at least get you started. After that you can dive in to a more thorough restoration if that's what you want.

Hi Ash,

Good to see you here. Looks like you actually got here just before me.

Took some time to clean and did a burn in afterwards..good enough for the season now
