Weber FT400

I think the 425 is just less common. At least I haven't seen as many of them but I like the open cart with the lower SS tables. That's the model I like best from the first gen.

Ok, I thought the open cart model had a wire rack. I agree that one is very attractive.

I've got the grates soaking in the kitchen sink. They looked like they were really greasy rather than crusted over with burned on crud.

It's amazing how bad they can look after decades of abuse and still come back to like new.

Yes it is. I found a new igniter and a used one that I think will work so I put that together.

Looking great!

Ok, fired up first click on both sides. The flames look out of control because it's a Ng grill that someone put a propane hose and regulator on so I tested it really quick on a propane tank. My buddy is planning on using it as intended.

Some more pics.

I am going to put the 9930 grates back on it since that's the way the grill came, I don't need them that bad. I should be done with those tomorrow.

Does anyone know if these had an inline regulator on the NG model? I'm thinking they probably did.

I'm just picking my daughter up from school right now but if there is one I'd think it would be in here.

It shows a part called a regulator mounting bracket. So probably needs one. I'll have to do more research.

I can always find time for something I want to do. I made the most headway last night between about 6 pm and midnight. I'm cleaning up the mess I made in the garage right now.

Yes, the Summit line used a regulator in the NG version.

Thanks Larry, I suspected so.
