A good friend of mine built a new deck on the back of his house and decided he needed a new gasser to christen it. I knew he had this Weber Genesis Silver B and told him if he wanted to get rid of it to let me know and I'd probably take it off his hands. When I actually went to pick up the grill and saw it first hand, I counter-offered him $35 to the original $50 he had requested and got it with no questions asked...
This is what I started with....
Here's the real KICK IN THE ARSE...
I don't have any friggin idea how this grill ended up like this and I didn't ask because the seller is a good friend of mine. I figure $35 is a steal and that leaves me a LOT of room to spend money to replace parts on this grill.
First things first.... cleaning out that mess in the base of the grill...
Getting to this point made me feel a lot better seeing that there was no structural damage. The base of this grill is cast aluminum. After some deep cleaning I get to this point...
I got a box of Weber replacement parts from Amazon today that includes a new ignition system, burner tubes, warming rack, and flavorizer bars. I picked up a set of stainless steel grills for it at Home Depot last night.
Friday afternoon I plan to repaint the outside base of the grill and the cast aluminum side panels on the lid and then start reassembling everything. I'll post photos of that when I get finished
I'm into this project for just change over $200 and I may spend another $50 or $75 before its over... who knows?
