Thanks, but it's a sickness really. Just the few things I did represent about six hours of time and effort. I still wasn't happy with how the grates looked for example, I spent a couple more hours on them last night. Now they do look like they are new. I know a lot of people aren't big fans of the stamped stainless steel grates, but I like them and they aren't cheap for the Weber ones. I didn't want to spend a hundred bucks if I could make the old ones nice again.Looking great Steve. Quite the inspiration to keep these early grills in nice shape. Love the attention to detail.
Exactly Bruce, that's my biggest hangup with that although my own grates never get that crusty either.I get it about making the grates all nice and shiny, but a few cooks in and they won't be....but at least it will be your "seasoning", and not someone else's crud.
But like you said, It's your crud and not someone elsesMine do..... LOL
Hopefully it's crud from a cow or pig or chickenBut like you said, It's your crud and not someone elses
