We put this video on the TV and followed along. He did go off book a bit on the assembly here and there, but we were able to pause easily enough, find where he was at and do that first. In the end, his way made more sense since you were already in that general area. 10/10 huge help. The visual aide was invaluable. However even with a guide, it still took us 2 hours to his 30 minutes, lol. We only managed to put one shelf on backwards and were able to quickly fix it.
I can't thank you enough for making this video. My husband and I are 70'ish grandparents, from Pomona Qld Australia, and have this morning finished putting our Weber Genesis II together. We could have only done it with your help. So a very big thanks to you and your employer for taking the time to do it.
That's inhumane, man... I'm out here in Arizona where they either let us work inside or provide fans/AC units & cold water. Good choice on the Weber. Weber is DEFINITELY WORTH the extra money. If properly maintained and operated it's something a person can pass down through the generations. Super duper reliable. Happy grilling!
Thanks for the video. Picked uo this bbq on clearance this weekend, and watched it twice before building today, using BILT - and it really helped. Your flip-the-box method to unpack worked great. I unbagged all the screws and bits and placed then on a table, on top of their respective bags as they're labelled A through H and referred to in the manual/BILT guide by bag letter (in BILT, click the screw icon at top left whenever it appears to quickly identify which fastener/bag is required). Found out too late the long pin and chain thing (ie the matchholder) is meant to stay in its bag. That matchholder really is an unnecessary mess. Same could have been achieved with 2 simple snap-in clips to hold the thing - perhaps better located on the inside door panel or inside side panel. The only other thing that puzzled me was the Rear Frame Weldment Screws in Step#23 of my BILD. Screwed them in from the rear and was like "why are these not going in all the way, did I cross the threads?" only to realize minutes later that the threaded part is really short and they're design to stick out the back like they do. Any idea WHY though?!
S-435!? That's some serious hardware! Just make sure to wash all the flame tamers and grates and run it on high for 5-10 minutes before you cook anything. There's chemicals and oils from the factory on all that stuff and you gotta clean it off.
Easy to assemble, however, when I put the doors on, they were crooked. The left one actually hits the metal frame. I don't see any way to adjust it. Is the frame bent or is there some way to fix this. Weber is sending me new doors, but I don't think this will help.
Shoot, I just saw this comment. I wish I would have seen it earlier. Typically the Webers have very high quality parts so if the doors are crooked then, yes, the frame is probably bent. I would try removing the control panel and using a level to see. You may be able to just tweak back into shape without having to disassemble anything. Brace it at the bottom with your foot and try to force the upper body over a little bit... it's hard to say without actually being there. But it's VERY rare that the doors are crooked on a Weber. After 15 years of assembly experience I think MAYBE one or two have ever been so off that they touch the metal. Once again, sorry for not responding sooner. I never received the comment notification... 😕
@@BenTheBuilder It was a bent frame as expected. Weber sent me a new one. So I had to unassemble and reassemble it. Fun times. Then the LPG connection leaks at the bottle, waiting for a new one.
@@BenTheBuilder any idea how to remove a door once installed? The pin at the top is spring loaded so compresses downwards for installation but doesn't appear to have any mechanism for manual compression once in place.
This video was worthless because this guy went way to fast for the average person to see what what he was doing. For this reason I'll look for a different unit.
We live in a society based on convenience. The laymen rely on others to do everything for them. I don't think this person understands that if I were to slow down and take every unit step-by-step, zooming in on every part, where they go, why they go there, what purpose they serve, what screws to use, how to install them, and show the diagram in the manual, every one of my videos would be three hours long. Unfortunately, we have grown-ups who prefer to wear diapers instead of big-boy pants. According to the Tytler Cycle ineptitude is the curse of a wealthy society.

Very helpful; a great addition to the written directions. Thanks for making it.
Thank you. Just put mine together and knew what was ahead of me with this video. Thanks again.
THANK YOU!!!! Helped a LOT with me putting mine together today.

Amazing! It took me a little over 8 hrs to build the 335
Thank you! About to start getting mine together, this was extremely helpful!
ditto
same!
Excellent video! You convinced me to pay the 120 bucks! HD had the poor guy doing that outside in the garden department( in StLouis in july !)

No idea why... might just be for ease-of-access.
Great video, helpful.
Nice Job! I'll be putting mine together tomorrow. Hoping for Sub 18.... HOURS. Very Helpful. THanks!
Just go slow and refer the manual when you need to and you'll be fine.
Ordered picked up and assembled my Weber S-435. Love it, tedious as hell to put together. Stainless could be thicker.

@@gratchboivlogs1767 they did not. I brought the old doors to Home depot and they look perfect on their demo unit.

where is the serial number hidden?
The Grill Was A Genesis II, But The Shipping Box Was A Summit. LoL.
Why are you rushing? Did you need a poo?

Never heard of pausing eh? For this reason no one will care about your comment.
"For this reason I'll look for a different unit" lol, o brother....
What were you going to, build yours along with the guy in real time? This video is excellent!
