Hello,

Thank you for this amazing forum.

A mate of mine gave me his old weber spirit classic 210. When I look at pictures of it online the picture does not look anything like the BBQ... Please see the picture attached.
I have checked the following page (https://www.virtualweberbullet.com/determine-age-weber-grills-smokers/#gasdecryption) but couldn't figure this out either. Would really appreciate understanding what I have in front of me...

I wish I had searched for this forum before as I have probably made some mistakes.
I have changed the Flavorizer bars that were rusted for these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0777J2X81/
I have changed the grill for this Iron cast https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B085LHZQQ6/
Gave it a huge scrub with two bottles of this and a lot of water. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000IU3VU8/

I am sure this machine deserves to be taken to pieces and reassembled but I don't have the time right now with 3 kids under 6 and my own company to run.

Everything seems to be working okay for now. Some of the items that might need immediate attention:
=> The "knob" on one of the weels is missing. I don't know how one can call this but I would like to replace it as I wouldn't want the beast to tip while operating?

=> There is a slight inwards curve in the top part of the lid which gathers water even when it is covered. Not sure if this shows in the picture. Is this normal?

=> A sticker in the compartment seems to forbid us from putting the gas canister inside the compartment. This is very tempting. Any reason why I would not want to hide the gas canister there?

=> The top grill is very rusty. Would like to change it. Do you know what it is called?

Many thanks for your time helping me!
Best,

That looks to be a Weber Spirit E210. It also looks to be a 2007 model.
Since you are in the UK, it is tough to say if the wheel nuts are readily available. Here is the type of part you want, but I am not sure which size since we Weber used inches over here. I am not sure if they did with their UK grills or not.

The gas canister inside the cabinet is probably a safety issue. Unless there is adequate ventilation, it could be an issue. On later cabinet grills, they had more ventilation along the top edges and a large hole in the bottom of the cabinet where the LP canister set into.

As for the water collecting on top of the grill, it might be due to the lid having some sag in it. I would be careful about trying to push or pound it out as that is a porcelain coating and could easily result in cracking or shattering. I am not sure what you could do to fish the problem but one solution might be to prop the lid open a little bit when not in use so that the water runs off the back.

That rack in the back of the grill is called a warming rack. Most find they just get in the way when cooking and toss them.
