What a Blast!

[TonyS T-Bone]

Found a nice powder coater in Chicago’s west suburbs who made quick work of my spring refurb projects. Media blasting cleans up cook boxes much easier than “the usual way”!

Very nice Tony. What's the name of the place? The last one I used was a nightmare.

Can I ask what they are charging for the 13 bar deep box cook boxes?

 

[TonyS T-Bone]

I was able to negotiate $45 per unit. Had several bids twice that.

Steve I’ll try to dig up the name. It’s in the south Aurora area.

Would you guys bother having this done on one your keeping? This is what it looks like, I haven't even touched it yet.

Probably not a popular answer, but I would. I just like the satisfaction of removing the prior owner(s) grease, gunk, germs etc. from a box that I am keeping. My Skyline and my Junior for example. We all know a few cooks later they will be back to grease and gunk but its my gunk. Plus blasting can prep it for a nice paint job!

I use the genesis self clean feature when it adopt a new to me grill.

Degreaser and pressure wash…

I wouldnt bother with the inside of the lid at all. Maybe just scrape out the cook box or at most a good spray with some grill/oven cleaner and then a pad of household stainless steel wool. Clean up the burners (but they look pretty good already) and wipe down the outside stuff and throw on the Ribeyes.

It would all depend on the grill and the circumstances,
but typically, no. However, last fall I did a complete restoration
on a 330 along with a few customized features and a
brand new lid that was re-enameled in tomato red. I chose
to have the box blasted for it.
