Surprisingly enough i got a email from Weber a hour ago
Order has been approved and gave me a order number

Awesome! Maybe there COVID rush has slowed down, I've been on hold for over an hour several times this summer.

So the parts came in from Weber yesterday
New lid firebox and burners
have to say i am impressed with the customer service
Also a few things i did not expect
The lid came with a new handle a new Weber logo and new hinge pins i consider those a added bonus
The firebox came with the silicone bumpers i thought i was going to have to buy new ones
The replacement burners came with the smoker burner and i was not expecting that

A great job by Weber and very nice of them to cover the cost of everything even though technically
the BBQ was a year out of warranty on the firebox and burners

So i have ordered the 1-1/4 x 1-1/4 steel tubing
Local shop here cuts to order so all i have to do is weld it up
Will be using some spare 2'x4' steel shelving we have at the office to use
for the floor back and side of the stand @ no cost to me other than the time cutting it to size and welding it

Any advice on the paint i should use
I was thinking high temp primer and light grey high temp paint ?

For the doors i have been looking for a set of used 600 series doors in good shape
But not having much luck.

So i have been considering painting my doors black
I wonder if anybody here has painted the SS doors and how did it turn out and how long did it last ?
