One of my favorite Sunday School kids from years ago is now all grown up and just got married last month.
His father owns my dream Skyline grill I sold to him when we left Florida, and he even helped me with some grill projects as a teenager. So he has learned to love classic Weber grills. When I saw “grill” on their gift registry, I told him to consider that covered
!
This grill was as slow as molasses, like most of mine, but I am very happy how it came out.
Sandblasted firebox and rust treated frame made a good foundation:
I did the whole valve disassembly, cleaning and lubrication:
Along with new 304 stainless burners, I threw in a set of Dave Santana/rcplanebuyer 13-bar flavorizers and my one set of Midwest Hearth grates, a promising brand that popped up and then disappeared from Amazon:
Probably the most time consuming aspect was staining and applying three coats of spar urethane to the red oak shelves and matching handle a friend made for me. The drying times dragged this out as I could only do one side of the slats at a time:
I wouldn’t begin to compare my woodwork with the amazing work done by @Josh Dekubber but I really like how the light oak sets off the black hood and framework:
WEDDING PRESENT
READY TO DELIVER!
