I don't know, it's whatever color he painted it.

Imagine pickup… Good luck stuffing that in a Prius. That one piece table top is huge and all steel construction look so heavy.I assume this massive cart holding the massive Weber kettle is custom? Not factory?

I wonder if this was some kind of prototype by Weber. Take closer look at the unique lid. Anyone notice the concentric rib texture in the lid? Lid shape is less rounded than a regular 26” lid. The top has a noticeable flat area in the middle under the lid handle. Damper is “N” coded. The bowl seems a little different too. The grill grate seems to sit a bit lower into kettle, bowl seems a little more flared out, and there seems be a larger rolled lip on bowl. As for the table… The execution of slot details in table top, radius’s corners, and curve on table top and frame would take some pro skill to fabricate.

Has anyone figured out a way to "renew" the control knobs on a Genesis or Summit ? Mine are looking pretty worn and low/high/off lettering is barely visible.
I was thinking of removing the chrome trim and repainting them grey to match the factory color. But how would I add the heat range lettering ? With a stencil ?

Honestly, if you're intent is to make this grill look and function like new I would just buy a new set of knobs for it. On the other hand, I'm the kind of person that probably would try to refinish them first if it was possible to get them looking good again. Pictures always help stimulate new ideas.

Has anyone rebuilt a Summit 650 cook box ? Mine has a couple rusty spots. Looking for ideas.

The cart is custom, but the kettle was a regular production 26er.
It was aka "the flat top."

Steve, I think @Jon Tofte is the person you need to talk to.

In my never-ending quest to try new things, for the wheels on my SSP I wanted to try something different. I was at Menards looking at some hardware options and found these push nuts for the axle. I don't really mind the plastic ones, but thought I would try these. And finding these things cheap and not white has been nauseating.

Quick blast and painted them black. I like it
Midwest Fastener® 3/8" Nickel Push Nut - 1 Count
A push nut is used on a non threaded axel to keep a wheel from sliding of the axel. They install easily by pushing on the axel and stay on by friction.

Yeah, I wanted to see what they were like before looking into a bulk order. Where do you get yours from?

What do you use for axle caps? Or have you enough patience to get them off to reuse? I dont. I have left one side on a couple axles I have

FYI... I'll be rebuilding it myself.

People who have rebuilt a Summit cookbox, how did you do it ?
Would it work to rivet a piece of SS sheet over the existing cook box face ?

You are a far braver man than I. I hate those things with every fabric of my being. I will gladly spend $2 to limit my misery

Basically what @Jon Tofte did. Except he used Red RTV to hold the SS panels in place. Drilling a hole into the existing cook box panel will only introduce a new area for rust and corrosion to begin.
