My first score of the new season


 
One of many, unfortunately. Every time I open my garage door I get about a hundred leaves blow back in.
I know the deal. We have tons of Oak trees around us. In the fall, they drop and while I am working on grills in the driveway, the fill my garage when the wind blows. Then, since many of the oaks hold many of their leaves over the winter and drop them when the new leaves start to bud out and I have to deal with it all again in the spring.
Brand new Weber brand piezo igniter, doesn't work.View attachment 109628
I don't think I ever got a dud, even with the Chinesium aftermarket ones. o_O
 
Very nice!
Thanks, I think it's looking pretty good myself. I'll take some nicer pics of it out in the sun when it gets a little nicer out. I still need to test fire it and figure out what to do with this lid. It looks pretty nice on the outside, but a little grim on the inside and after testing a couple different ways of getting it clean again I'm still unsure of what to commit to. I may even look for a replacement lid that's porcelain, I've seen a couple on Facebook that are suitable replacements. Maybe I shouldn't overthink think it, but this reinforces why I'm not a big fan of these stainless hoods.

On the newer stuff I sell SS lids bring bigger returns but I'm with you. I've had the opportunity to swap my black lids on my newer Genesis ii LX grills for SS but I prefer the black. I did like the SS on the last grill I sold S-345 with everything else black. That lid liner came out good in my opinion. I did get a little reckless with black over spry on the end caps though. Kind of a brushed SS look. I'd try a cup style wire wheel on your lid liner. If it came out swirly you could go over it with Scotch-Brite with a side to side application to remove swirls.

I can definitely live with that kind of result. That's a cup brush in your drill?

Yes but the last one before this one turned out swirly. It sold fine but if I was going to keep it I would have gone over the swirls with a Scotch-Brite pad with side to side motion so the scratches go in one direction. That would probably look better.

I'll give it a solid effort tomorrow or the next day and see how it comes out. What I should do is just throw the lid back on the grill and forget about it, the outside looks fine.
