    Vintage Weber Summit - Looks Clean - Chicagoland Area

    You might try this one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H3DPXK4?tag=tvwb-20 There used to be a Dawn product that Members Mark was basically a knock off of. I can’t remember the name.

    Weber Slate commercial on Food Network

    Thanks for posting, Chris! The Slate griddle looks like a winner, a big improvement over the first iteration.

    Spirit SP320 - Input

    To me, these were the very last gasp of the original Genesis. The classic design is hiding underneath that “modernized” outer shell. I am pretty sure basic Silver B components will interchange.

    Vintage Weber Summit - Looks Clean - Chicagoland Area

    I didn’t do it. I bought those from the same guy I got my Weber Flat Top. He had them sandblasted. While that does make them more uniform it also roughs up the finish, so I wouldn’t recommend it. In addition to the angle grinder/cup brush you might try soaking them for a day or more in...

    I owned and used the grill for a couple of years and never saw any problems with it.

    Painting and Refurbishing the Badge

    I used an artist's brush, and I just used Testor's model paint with no apparent issues.

    Painting and Refurbishing the Badge

    Doing a quick review of our collection of brochures and advertisements, it looks like it was right around 2000 that the kettle got moved to the right and reduced in size. I think it was done in recognition that gas grills were now becoming the big ticket and that kettles were no longer the...

    Genesis EP-310 battery replacement

    I think lithium batteries are well worth it for this application and for use in things like instant read thermometers, etc.

    Smokefires- large $499, small $399

    Great opportunity to get an EX4 and register with warranty (at least for what that proves to be worth). So many great and bad things said about one grill:unsure:; it has to be one of the most controversial models Weber has ever made. I know I still would love to cook on one.

    New The Huntsman Kettle Kamado Grill from Spider coming.

    SLOW N SEAR on the HUNTSMAN Here's a quick, abbreviated video of someone doing burnt ends using a Slow-N-Sear on a Huntsman. A little different from how I have done them, but interesting. Seems like the SNS works fine. I received this link in an email from Spider, so they must approve:

    I will just leave this here

    Bruce, I like your Yankee ingenuity. Way to improvise! I think a number of us will be interested in seeing how that comes together. (y)

    The project has begun!!

    Photo op! I wish it was in someone’s truck loaded up after selling it to them. Lots of looks, saves, and complements, but no buyer🥲.

    Is this worth $150

    Cool, Steve. I guess I forgot about GrillParts having them. The price has come down, too!

    Is this worth $150

    That’s true for the 1st generation Summit, but those special tall flavorizer bars for the 2000-2004 Platinums and Golds are a pretty tough find, at least in my looking.

    Is this worth $150

    Sure does! Even in a winter backyard :coolkettle:
