1999 Weber Genesis Restoration
« Reply #-1 on: October 08, 2015, 09:05:46 PM »
Thought I'd move to new topic.


Finally got my sight unseen craigslist grill home.
It's an 1999  Weber red Genesis
Got one that had been in a storage unit for several years.
The red top is spotless.
The frame is in great shape.
The firebox & lid are very good
The burners are excellent.
Flavorizer bars are half missing
Grates are missing.
Durwood shelves , the wood is in good shape but an ugly gray
Needs new ignitor
Has an old Weber adaptor to propane bottles that needs to be updated to ACME connector.
Planning on replacing acme adaptor & make sure manifold works then.
Weber OEM ignitor
Weber OEM porceloin coated grates
Aftermarket 304 SS flavorizer bars
Sand & repaint firebox with rustolium flat black grill paint.
Sand & repaint lid end caps with a gloss black high temp paint.
Unsure about work tables & bottom rack , think it's ugly! Might try sanding , then staining redwood color with deck stain, if don't like that will rebuild bottom with cypress , & thinking about work tables with bamboo plywood!
Should keep me busy for a couple weeks , will keep informed!

Progress!
The man I bought from stated although he never cooked on it when he tried lighting the flame was low.
Before spending a lot of money I bought an ACME adaptor for today's propane bottles & fired it up
Woo-Hoo fired right up , even the ignitor worked !!!
Burners & crossover tube great.
So with the idea this could be my main gasser ordered
SS flavorizer bars from RCPLANER on eBay ($73 OUCH ) more than I paid for the grill
An opened box of Weber OEM porceloin grates for $35 from eBay
2 caster wheels for $6 a piece amazon.
Warming rack $10 Amazon.
Examined the shelves & they were wood ( my bad assumption)
Sanded & painted with krylon red wood outdoor stain the ones for bottom shelves & they look pretty good.
Going to try bamboo cutting boards for the side shelves . A 16X 12X 0.75 board will fit with only 1 cut . Shelves are 15 1/3 X 12 X 0.75 ) bought a used one off amazon for $9 to try.
Leaving on a short vacation this weekend till Wednesday , ( wife teaches it's fall break)
Hope rest of parts including paint for firebox & frame are in when I get back.
Post progress next week.

Holy Cow, I wasn't in that good of shape when I was 15 years old.  Webers really are built to last  :)

It's going to be a fine cooker when you finish LA. I have a 2001 Silver B I restored and love it...no hot or cool spots.

Good job on a fine old grill -- congratulations!

One recommendation:  Get some GrillGrates for it.  Moving the sizzle right up under the groceries makes all the difference in the world.
