Pics would help!
Weber Genesis are very easy to refurbish, you just need to know which model you have.

Once you know the model you have the schematics will help you in identifying any parts you may need. Pretty much all in the way of tools needed are phillips screwdriver and a 7/16" wrench. The Weber homepage has downloadable instruction manuals if you need them too. I will scour CL for old freebie Webers just for some hard to find parts or use the frames for rolling carts.

Lets see some before and after pics!

I fixed up a Weber Genesis 1000, easy to make it like new. I put stainless steel burniners in it, new knobs and a new starter. It sat for most of its life without a cover... so all of the wood on it was rotten. I made all new slats and a new lid handle from a board of cypress and sealed them with a deck sealant.

should last another 20 years or so

thanks guys. i havn't found the model tag. any ideas? far as i can figure its a 2000. looks like the brown one but with wood slats. i'm waiting for some good weather to start into it. i'll ask more when i get into it more. thanks,

If you go to thier website they will show illustrations with stuff like"does your product look like this? or this?"

It's pretty self explanatory for the most part. My Genesis is about 12 now. Still has the original ignitor, got new shelves, flavorizor bars, cast iron grates, and burners a couple years back, but about all I use it now for is storage for BGE accessories!:biggrin:

ok, found the tag under but on the burner control panel. interesting as mine looks like the gen 3000 manual. the tag states that my mod is 470000 but it doesn't look like the gen 4000 model manual. go figure. weber doesn't accept the ser number. will call. i'm getting jazzed.

Sweet deal at $50, and will outlast/outperform many new grills on the market today

I have a question to all you Weber experts out there.

My Weber Genesis is red, and looks exactly like the one above, except for the wire shelf at the bottom, mine has the wood slats like the side shelf. I noticed on the user guide for the Gen 1000 from weber.com it also shows a wire shelf. Does that mean I have an earlier version? Maybe a Genesis 1?

Try to post a pic tonight.

i vote for a 2000 also.

Not to hijack your thread.
My genesis was bought in '93. Everything is good except the frame. Anyone know about rebuilding the frames?
Sorry for the sidebar. Good luck with the refirb.

I picked up an old Weber 3000 (3 burner w/side burner) and the bottom was so corroded I ended up trashing it. The previous owner has used all-thread rods through some of the frame parts where the welds had broken and it is pretty sturdy. I made a tabletop for it and added a burner.

Brian, of all your Weber gassers, does one model jump out as a favorite, or just better?

One more question, what is that silver ring on the Performer kettle?

Thanks

livens · Apr 17, 2009

Thanks, I hadn't seen a 2000 before. But my grill does not have the right hand shelf next to the burner controls... Im thinking someone may have bought two replacement slat inserts and replaced the wire shelf.

BTW, did Weber mark the model number anywhere on them? Ive looked but didn't see any.

I think that silver ring is the rotisserie ring.
