Weber Genesis Silver B Restoration Project
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 07. 2013
- I picked up a 2003 model Weber Genesis Silver B gas grill for a real bargain from a friend who had replaced it with another grill. I decided to completely gut it, fix it up, replace some parts and get it back to like new grilling condition. I bought a lot of new Weber replacement parts and went to work cleaning and restoring this grill. I think this is a testament to Weber quality. The grill was structurally sound and all it took was some elbow grease and determination to bring her back to life. I also found it to be awesome that Weber still has parts available for a 10-year old gas grill. I was also able to download the users manual and some parts replacement guides from Weber's website.
Serial Number: DT0707465
Model: 2250000
I'm glad I recorded these numbers... when I was cleaning the grill cart, the numbers came off the stickers. I should have thought about that before I started but no worries... This grill is going to live here at the Man Cave!

My Genesis silver is 20 years old and, still works fantastic. I was fortunate that the guy I bought it from took very good care of things. $100 for a 20 year old Weber that will probably outlast a brand new $400 grill can't beat it with a stick!!! Love my new to me grill!!!
Absolutely!
I just picked up one of these free in terrible condition. Must've been sitting outdoors for years untouched. I'm going to rip it apart, power wash it bare, hit it with hi-temp paint, and replace the burners, lines, and ignition.
I think it'll be worth the effort given how great everyone says these are. Still will be cheaper than buying something new that won't last.
After cleaning it up it's not in bad shape at all. The plastics are mint and there's no critical rust damage, only minor surface stuff on replaceable parts. The red paint on the lid is in good condition, the blacks need to be redone but that's easy.
It's going to be a nice cooker once I get the internals replaced. I think it'll take roughly $150 for some aftermarket burners, ignition, and new grates all around, a couple bucks for some high temp paint, that's all. Maybe a new thermometer too.
I see now why people love these and paid a premium for them. A day's work will have it in almost new condition and it's over 20 years old.
I got the exact grill today for $20. I'm so exiting to start the restoration. Thank you for sharing this video!
Thanks for a fantastic video! I am restoring my Genesis Silver B that I bought in early 2000, and it's also going strong. It was a breeze to find parts, and I'm definitely a lifelong Weber customer!
Great video, thanks for posting. I have had my Genesis since 2001 - 16 years going strong. I'm on the third set of flavouriser bars and third set of grills. I've just put in 18 gauge stainless bars and the solid rod stainless grills. If it ever dies, I'll definitely buy another Weber. The customer service is fantastic, and no problems with parts supply. They just gave me a free igniter too.
My Father-in-law just gave me his Silver B. I went through it yesterday and scrubbed and scoured it. Damn thing runs like a Swiss watch for being over 20 years old.
Love my Weber A, it's a two burner and I've replaced everything except the burner a couple of times in the last 18 years that I've had it! Readily available, and easy to do!
I purchased my Weber Genius Silver in the fall of 1999. It was on sale because it was a discontinued style for that model. Today is September of 2022 and it’s still running strong. I replaced the grills to the stainless about 5 years ago and a tune up this month with a new striker kit and a new regulator and hose between the bottle and the gas distribution manifold. I will never have another brand of gas grill other than Weber. When I brought it home in 1999 in the back of my pickup turned sideways to the cab, going down the interstate it took a tumble falling and destroying one of the fold out tables (I’ve got fold up tables on left and right side). I called Weber service and explained what had happened and it was unused brand new. They sent it to me for free just pay for shipping. Fantastic service. The big box stores used to have a wide verity of replacement parts but no more, just accessories. Went to a True Value and found all of the Weber original parts I needed on this last service. The Web has an fantastic supply of factory original parts but I did not have to order what I needed.
Would you possibly have a part source for the stainless steel tubes and I think you said you also put in stainless steel grill? I would sure like to redo a few things online. It is the best grill I’ve ever owned.
It's 2018 and your restoration video is still useful! I'll be deep cleaning a Weber Genesis e-320 in a few days (it's my in-law's grill) so I've been trying to bone-up on its various parts. You made it look pretty easy so I'm hoping things will go smoothly for me, as well.
Great video! Just replaced the burners and igniter set of my 2002 Weber Silver B and it works as new!
That turned out great i think. My project was in no such decay. Thanks for sharing
This video was perfect.. i'm excited for my 1st restore starting up this weekend
I bought my Weber Silver B more than 20 years ago. I always clean my grill once a year in the spring time before the bbq season begins and put in new drip tray. Looking at these videos it seems the majority of people don’t bother cleaning their grills.
I did the same restoration with the same grill. The Genesis with the side burner controls is the best gas grill Weber EVER MADE! The side control valve location avoids valve damage during a grill fire. Yours is good for another decade easy!
marcuswhonea Yep, me too. I had to replace the burners as well.
I have the Weber Genesis Silver B that I bought in the early spring of 2002 (it could be a 2001 model). This is the 17th year of service for this grill. The cover eventually rotted and fell apart. I didn't bother replacing it since I mistakenly thought, at that point, that the grill was probably on borrowed time. So, the grill sat outside unprotected, in four seasons of weather, for probably 5 years. Two years ago the burners finally rotted to the point where only the front burner would light. I decided to replace the burners and the igniter switch. I searched CZcams, and the internet in general, to see what was involved. It was then that I discovered dozens of Weber owners who had gas grills that were 18, 20, or 23 years old and were still going strong! You mean it's NORMAL for these to last this long LOL? Long and short, I replaced the burners and igniter, cleaned up the grill, and for a total cost of around $55 and a few hours of work I got what amounted to a brand new Weber grill. Of course, I bought a new cover too.
When I rebuilt my Genisis, I bought cast iron grates. You season them frequently like a cast iron frying pan. I do mine in the oven. Food doesn't stick and they have excellent heat retention. Highly recommend.
I still prefer ss. I picked up a spirit e310 last week to restore and I am gonna restore the ci grates on that one
Great video! I just ordered replacement parts for my 2001 Weber Genesis Silver A and I am looking forward to rebuilding it!
That's the same thing I have!!! Love it!!!
i am rebuilding mine now. its 26 years old. got the fire box getting sand blasted now all new every thing i could buy
Just got a free one -they were tossing it out! - needs a little work -your tips will come in handy!! I hooked up the gas and the only thing 'broken' is the igniter. Crazy! this girl on a budget is SO happy! a little work and some elbow grease and we're good to go!
My dad inherited my grandfathers genesis 1000 with the wood slats. He’s now passed it down to me and today I took a chance and found one of these genesis silvers for 40 dollars. The cleanest bbq I’ve ever seen for its age. I was planning on doing a full restore of the OG bbq but everything is easily converted. Even the side pannels were able to be thrown on to the originals red lid. I couldn’t be happier with this bbq. I will probably end up switching out the plastic for the wooden pieces, it really adds to the look, even though the plastics more practical
My Weber turned 25 this year. Finally had to put in new burners. Did put in new porcelain bars, 3rd set, went with the cast iron grates instead of stainless. Did my 3rd igniter last year. Also installed my 2nd regulator this year. I got the parts direct from Weber. The customer service people were great in helping get the correct parts and delivery was spot on. There are some rust spots starting to show up on the cart I will have to take care of those in the near future. Otherwise she runs like brand new. I grill about 4 times a week. $232 for parts sure beats $700 for a new grill or $400 for a new Q model. Your video was really good. Thank you.
I would really like to see HOW you do this stuff. HOW do you paint the bottom of the aluminum box? Do you sand it first? Prime it? Use spray paint or brush on? HOW do you paint the aluminum ends of the grill lid - do you mask off the enamel part? For places that have rust, HOW do you treat it? HOW did you clean out and test the burner tubes? Thank you for making the video, and thanks for all your Man Cave Meals. It's a lot of work making these videos - I'd just like to see more "how to" for those of us who are beginners.
See above.
These are keepers! I got one. They work very well.
Just picked up one for $30.
Grateful to find this video :D
I restored my dad's mid-1980s Weber grill. Just a two-burner grill, 15 inches deep and 22 inches wide. The red finish still looks awesome. I replaced the flavoizors, grill grates and propane tube and tanks 4 years ago, but had to replace the grill grate again this year. However, Weber now offers enamel-covered cast iron grill grates, which is a step up compared to the stamped metal enameled grills that came with it originally.
Just got exact one from my neighbor a few days ago. he keept it in top shape. Its an awesome grill to cook on.
We also bought this in late 2003, after reading about its highest rating in a consumer magazine. The BEST grill we ever had, and it was still going strong when we moved to another state and had to leave it behind. The company honored their 10-year guarantee too, and the only replacement we needed was the fold-down table. It had a small crack in it from new. Love the Weber company--would never hesitate to purchase another from this company.
I have the same Weber Genesis Silver B... it's 23 1/2 years old! and still working... this thing doesn't owe me anything... lives outdoors 365 days a year... usually gets one good cleaning per year... I haven't bothered with a cover for the last 6 years or so as they are more trouble than they're worth... original flavorizer bars, twisted and deformed but functional... I upgraded to solid stainless rod grates about 8 or 9 years ago... the best thing about this model is the non-metal end tables with fold up extensions... As I have less space now I expect to shift to a Fuego Element soon.
I love these Genesis. Picked up my Silver B on CL for really cheap with a full tank of LP. Cleaned it up, painted some pieces and it has been working like a champ ever since. Planning to convert mine to NG soon.
I am the original owner of a 2000 Weber Genesis Silver B-NG and have rebuilt it twice. It works great, gets up to 650 degrees and looks like new. The porcelain lid has a 25 year replacement warranty. So if you are the original owner and there is any sign of rust they will replace it for free. The cast aluminum firebox actually has a lifetime warranty. You used to be able to buy original parts directly from Weber to replace rusted out frame parts. Since Weber switched to a new design a few years back those factory frame parts aren't available anymore which means you need to be on the lookout for rust. You can easily get 25 or more years out of one of these grills if you keep them covered and replace parts as they age. Why not just buy a new BBQ? Good question...I like rebuilding them and the old ones work better than the new ones which is true of so many things these days. Happy Grilling!
I have a Genesis Silver B from 2000's with TWO flip-up plastic side trays. Love it since i got it. The bottom tray (at wheels) is rusted out and I would like to change but cannot find a replacement. Does anyone know if the grating in this video would fit all Genesis Silver Bs? Mine has a center mounted thermometer, not side. Green top.
What should I buy now before the parts become obsolete? When do u think they (burners,etc) will be impossible to find?
J
Did the same thing! Very happy with the results. I think my Silver is 18+ years...
Far out.... :-) Nice work and nice flames. Nothing beats an old weber....
Thanks a lot for this. I have a 2005 that I am rebuilding, too. The customer service is superb and most parts are shipped free. I even got a new cookbox (haven't figured out yet how to install but I think it's only a couple bolts). Thanks again
3 bolts
John Berkowitz
And, fortunately they all broke taking them off which made it easier to remove. I anticipated that so ordered replacement parts in advance. Even the cotter pins attaching the lid. Whole thing took less time than I thought.
Awesome video, great information!!!
Thank you for this video! My husband wanted to throw out our Genesis Silver C. Instead, I'm going to use your video to rebuild it.
There are a lot of third party replacement parts for these grills on Amazon now that will save you a good bit of money
Nice job. I just acquired my Mom’s Weber Genesis Silver. Parked unused in a garage for 7 years all it needed was a little bit of cleaning. This version only has 2 Burners but has all five flavor bars. I think you could go all in with the 5 pack replacements rather than just the 3 over the burners.
That's right, you need 5 all (or more in other models). They are flavorizer bars, not heat shields. The purpose is when the juices drip they hit the sizzling hot bars and evaporate back up to the meat for extra flavor.
My Weber grill lasted longer than my 20 year marriage 😂 and it is still going strong
Great video I just found one curbside mine has the stainless steel doors I did everything you did and gave it 3 Coats if rust paint and unclogged the burner tubes and it came out well thanks for the video let me know if u read this message
Nice job. I just rehabbed the same grill. Yours was in worse shape, and turned out better though!
I assembled these for a living for stores. Anyhow, my once porcelain coated flavorizer bars on my Silver were shot. I went on fleabay and found the same exact size stainless steel flavor bars. They use stainless steel bars on the Weber Gold series. They didn't cost much more than steel. Hoping I'll never have to deal with them rotting out ever again. I do think it's time to look at my burner tubes though.
I have a Genesis 1000 that is 30 years old. Repainted it and it looks almost new.
Don't buy the porcelain flavor bars, stainless steel will last forever.
New tubes added I've 100 degrees, worth it.
i found out that a power washer does some excellent cleaning of the plastics removing all the stains and making them look like new, it made short work of cleaning mine.
A SOS pad works even better than a pressure washer when it comes to cleaning the Thermoplastic parts.
I still have the same grill working from 2003. Only needed to replace the grates and flavorizer bars once in that time.
The drip pan- even though there is a drip pan, Walmart by the grill hardware section, sells 3 packs (or 5 packs maybe) of disposable aluminum pans that just sit in that drip pan perfectly. When they fill up, no mess, just toss them and put in a new one.
Is that not the Weber Spirit 700 (1998)?? I have the identical model. 25 years old and goes really well!
Wahoooo picked mine up next the dumpster another rv pack I was patked in previous owner never cleaned it. Came with cover, whit h flew off driving back to Texas. The flavor bars are in need of replacing
Hey folk, thanks for this! I will do this same project in my 10 yo Weber Genesis Gold - I will have to repaint it, and now the question is what is the right paint to use internally.
I have a genesis 1000 from the 90s I can't wait to restore it I might make a video on it
Hello Sir: I have that exact Weber girl and I am in the beginning process of a full restoration. I have bought new burner kit, Flavor bars, Back Wheels (front wheels at not available). Igniter and drip pan holder.
Awesome :)
Great vid! Is the middle part where the burners and flav bars are sitting made out of aluminum cast? Does anyone know?
Excellent video, thank you. What did you use to clean the side table and tool holder?
Hi - Great Video! I have the same grill I bought in 2002 which I am still using. Did you use oven cleaner for the inside of the lid as well?
I own a grill like that one with 2 burners. The flavorizer bars, crossover burner tube and 2 cooking grates are rusted out. The hole in the tray underneath is disintegrated and the grease tray holder is also rusted out. I own new flavorizer bars and cooking grates. Do you think the grill is worth restoring?
Thanks
A few more tips for those keeping these old gals running for another 20 years -
1. Amazon has many aftermarket parts for these that are specific to Weber but cheaper than Weber. If the grill is old anyway, I 'd go for it, especially the easy to build parts like flavorizer bars.
2. Put the nasty stuff in a self-cleaning oven
3. Think about the parts you NEED to operate and stock up on those now. You don't need the auto-ignitor or thermometer for example
4. Certain parts continue to be available because they also fit Weber Spirit. I'm thinking flavorizer bars and grates - not sure about other stuff
5. You can always cut down a longer flavorizer bar or cooking grate from a bigger grill
6. Get some type of grill cover. I get the 75% off clearance ones at Home Depot
7. Get everything you can in stainless steel to cut down on rust
8. You can always Home Depot the cotter pins and other hardware as necessary
9. You can always put a can under it to catch the grease if you don't have the parts
10. When the actual metal body of the grill rusts out, you need a new grill
I have two Genesis Silver A's (the second was free). I plan to keep at least one going until 2040 or beyond. Best no-nonsense grills ever.
These older Weber grills are way better than that new 2017 line they came out with. Based on lots of reviews that new GS4 tapered burner system sucks, the temps don't get hot enough for searing. Also, they reverted back to that open cart design which sucks and allows wind to whip underneath your burner tubes affecting the temps. They have a closed design model but they jacked the prices up $400 which I don't agree with. I spent $150 replacing parts in my older 2007 Spirit, so glad I did!
Good video. Wasn’t much wrong with that grill though other than those flavorizer bars and some cleanup. The burners MIGHT have needed replacing but didn’t see you test them. Thanks.
No doubt it looks MUCH better!
Is there a reason why you only use 3 flavorizer bars vs the original 5 installed when new?
What soap did you use on the side tables to get the grease stains off?
I just bought this same grill. What kind of paint do I buy for the sides?
Need to find all the parts
Nice Job. Great video.
Thanks for the video. I'd be curious to know exactly what you used to clean it and paint it..
I used Dawn and the magic erasers on mine! Came out great!
Just picked mine up today, $50! I just finished cleaning it up, doesn’t seem to need any parts replaced yet. Does yours have the fuel gauge, where you hang the tank down on the side of the grill? That’s awesome that they think of things like that.
I gave mine to my son, he gave it back because he bought a skillet top
I wish I’d never given this grill away seven years later I just cleaned it all up and it’s the best grill ever
I need the rocker arm switch that triggers the igniter. Does anyone know where to get one of those? Or have a good part source since it’s almost 24 years old? Thank you so much.
Watched your video and it helped inspire me to fix my weber grill. I needed a jump start, a few tips to get me started, which you provided so thank you! Question, when I research weber genesis replacement parts, there are different variations of flavorizer bars (I need 22.5"), and the prices range $33 to $65. Does it matter if they are porcelain enameled or stainless steel? Same question on replacement racks. Does it matter what material they are made of?
it only matters that the stainless steel is gonna last longer. I dunno how much longer though.
Mold and mildew with bleach foam works on the plastic.
hey did u get those grey surfaces cleaned up, like the ones on the left and the lid handle (same material)? Mine are gross, and bleach/scrubbing haven't fixed. They seem to be porous now, so I am thinking about how to seal those.
Go to Home Depot and find some stuff called plastic color revitalizer it's in a grey bottle with Purple lid that stuff is amazing.
Great video. I have a Silver A and Gold C. Love them both. Question; are you only putting flavorizor bars over the burner tubes? Should be five total to my knowledge. That's how mine was equipped when new.
Yes 5 bars are supposed to be in there.
Yep...5
Yep he needs to use all 5 bars
I have one of these grills and still use it I want to restore it it’s been in our family for a least 20 years
what type of paint you recommend?
Dear Gentlemen, can anyone please advise how to exchange the small rollers. Thank you.
they're such a great Grill I've had one since 1996 and it's completely rusted and rotted away and unfortunately the burner controls don't work anymore to turn it up or down it just turns it on too high but I can still do things X takes anything that has to be done on high it works perfect everything is completely rusted so I can't touch anything because it'll disintegrate on me as far as the screws bolts and nuts go I have never once use to cover on this and I think it's last of this line because of the fact that I've never used to cover the cover seems to trap condensation inside these grills and Watson from the inside out much faster than if it's not covered I use my girl all year round in the middle of winter the only thing I don't like about it is the fact that the bottom is wide open the newer ones are all encased and if it's a windy day it blows a lot of the heat away very quickly if the bottom is exposed the way these are other than that best girl in the world
That's disgusting!
At 8 min you mention the rails that hold the drip tray. Mine are completely corroded out. Any ideas on how to get new ones? It it not a part on the exploded view in owners manual.
I don't know on that one. You might need to contact Weber.
I have a Weber Silver Grill I bought several years ago at an auction. I've used it & really like it. I need to do some restoring also. Enjoyed your video, wondering how much you spent restoring your grill.
$200ish if i remember correctly
Do you have a link where you bought the grills and wire racks?
I bough5 th3m on amazon and those are no longer available
What did the parts cost?
Great job. I leave in Israel and try to purchase new burners and gas valves , I have the same Weber Silver B as in the video . Can you please tall me where i can buy these components?
Thanks a lot
Shaul
do you have a part number for the warming rack that does not swing?
i don't know what you mean by 'swing' - amzn.to/3RywBxv
@@ManCaveMeals There is the "Basket" that naturally hangs level, but I found the one that is stationary above the grates against the back wall of the grill: Weber 7513 Warming Rack
The one that is above that is the basket: Weber 80641
in other words, I figured out the Weber OEM parts I needed 👍🏼. Grill On Brother!
Hi! Do you know if the manifold (part under the knobs panel) is replaceable? Mine has rusted out but the rest of the grill is still excellent.
I am not sure on that one.. might need to check with Weber
@@ManCaveMeals Many thanks!
Found replacement manifold for around $120 us. Found Pricing for all the insides (burners, grates, warmers, flavor lids and manifold) around $200 total.
Hey guys, would you be able to tell me what model of rotisserie would fit on this older model grill? Thanks in advance
Call weber and they'll tell you! 1-800-446-1071 be prepared to wait to speak to a customer service rep as they are really busy right now! I waited 45 minutes but got exactly the parts I needed on sale with free shipping!
From.where you bought the parts
I got the same grill and was planing to do a restoration during the winter but its now summer and I realized I hadn't started it. I have grilled on mine since 2003 I believe, so 19 years of weekly sometimes daily grillin. I will NEVER buy anything other than Weber. Their grills are pricier than most of the other guys but they are built like tanks ( not Russian ones evidently).
How did you unlock the two screws inside holding the burner? They are completely fixed because of the rust...and I don't wanna destroy them...
You might try hitting them with a good dose of WD40 and let them soak overnight to see if that frees it up.
GREAT JOB!! Do you still own the grill and if so how has it held up since the restoration?? I have a 6 + year old Weber Q and will be replacing the original burner tube in the next month or two. That's it.......
No... I actually gave this grill to a coworker as a housewarming gift shortly after I restored it.
@@ManCaveMeals Thank you a lot!!
I was given one just like that in okay shape. I removed the gas components and with two minor modifications I converted it into a charcoal grill.
You cleaned it up with oven cleaner?
Can you link the grates you purchased?
I bought them at Lowes and it's been a long time.
The old burner tubes were stainless, in good condition and did not need to be replaced IMO. Weber parts are expensive and add up quick if you get a bunch! If you're gonna throw a bunch of (relatively) expensive parts at a grill when refurbishing, then you would have been better off just buying a really nice, barely used pre-owned grill or a new one, also IMHO. Everything except the flavorizers could be stripped of all grease/dirt/surface rust and re-seasoned and reused. I rehabbed the same grill, same condition and (other that A LOT of elbow grease) it only cost me one can of paint! Well, I had a few old (but stainless) flavorizers that I only needed to clean up and cut down 2" to reuse in the rehab unit. Lastly, if you're gonna throw all that money at a rehab grill why would you put same crappy enamel steel flavorizers back on rather than finding nice 16 ga. stainless ones?? Dumb.
What did you use to clean up the grill?
Oven cleaner
Can you link part number you purchased please?
for which part?
@@ManCaveMeals Grill and warming rack please. Thanks.
What kind of paint are you using?
I jjst used high temp grill paint.. rustoleum... easy tonfind at the big box hardware stores
Did you order the parts directly from weber.
Yes but if you search around for those weber part numbers on amazon you will find some third party options
Where did you get the parts ? Good video.
Amazon
I have a grill in similar shape. Is it worth the money in parts to rebuild?
I don't remember how much I spent.. it's been over four years now but I am sure I spent less than $200. I could have spent even less but the stainless steel grates were a bit more expensive for the set. Whether it's worth the money is up to you. I spent well under half what a new comparable model would have cost... probably closer to 1/3 of that cost. The grill was in brand new condition functionally when I was done with it.
Yes
Just wondering what was you total cost for the repair?
It's been so long now I don't remember the numbers.. you would have to get today's prices on the items I replaced.
For a new set of burner tubes, flavorizor bars, stainless steel cooking grates, new igniter, new thermometer, the total is somewhere between $150-180 depending on where you get the parts.
Definitely well under $200 depending on what you need to replace.
Add all five flavorizer bars. The two dead ones prevent hot spots.
I restored my dads weber spirit base was rotted out just cut it off and built a new one
"HOW do you paint the bottom of the aluminum box?" First, painting ANYTHING is 99% surface preparation, and 1% of actual painting. Scrape as much crud as you can with a metal scraper, inside and out. Wire wheel on a drill, or wire hand brush, to get about as much crud as you can. Sand down the rust spots the best you can. If you have access to a sandblaster, that would be ideal, but expensive and messy. Wipe the whole thing down with acetone or a good automotive engine degreaser. Rinse with water, wipe it off good, and let it fully dry. STOP! YOU MUST USE HIGH HEAT PAINT, OR SPECIAL GRILL SPRAY PAINT IN A CAN. DO NOT PAINT THE INSIDE OF THE FIREBOX. When that's done, one or maybe two coats from a rattle can should do it.
Hi what paint did you use?
A 1200 degree flat black BBQ spray paint from Rust-oleum works great on the frame. I use the same paint, but in a can with a mini-roller for the outside of the firebox and the cast aluminum sides of the lid. The porcelain lid is guaranteed for 25 years if you are the original owner. The paint on the cast aluminum is warranted for only one. The mini roller makes it look like it just rolled out of the factory.
The flavor bars come in a pack of 5 because your bbq uses ALL 5.
Yea.. i figured that out later :) This grill was restored and gifted to a friend as a housewarming gift. I just stumbled across another one for $20 that was in better shape than this one, so i'll be restoring another one next week...
ManCaveMeals funny I did the same thing last year. They clean up nice. For a 150.00 you get a grill like new. I look forward to your next project. I might do another one this year and this time post it.
ManCaveMeals hello and thanks for the very instructional and helpful video. I have the same used grill that was gifted to me and I need to restore it as well , but I need to know where to order the parts from. Can you advise?
You can get the parts directly from Weber if you like. I used Weber's website to make up a list of part nubmers I needed. I used some Weber replacement parts and I also used some third party parts from Amazon. Once you have the Weber part number you may be able to find adequate third party replacement parts at a lot lower price on Amazon.
Thanks so much for the fast reply and taking your time to do so. My grill looks exactly like yours but how do I find the model number to make sure I get the correct parts?
