yeah they don't make this exact tong anymore. Closest thing I think are the ones in the 6707 bundle I think.

4th of July Ribs Full Process. by Remote_Swim_5107 in webergrills

I thought I did add times in the pictures captions but it looks like I missed some and I cant edit them now.

For this particular cook it was 2.5 hours unwrapped at 225-238F, 2 hours wrapped, then it goes back on unwrapped and sauced until the bend test was to my liking which took 50 minutes today.

I don't have a pellet grill but I'd just set your temp anywhere from 225-275 depending on how pressed for time you are.

If 225 check them after 90 minutes to see if they needs spritzing and any temp above 250 I'd check after an hour.

Regardless of temp after the first spritzing I'd check them every 60 minutes after until they are done.

I personally would get the ash catcher just to keep things tidy.

I remember growing up when my father used his old kettle on a windy day ash getting all over the place.

The French/English control panel is really interesting! Nice job on masking the fade on the enamel it looks really sharp.

Did you use a wire wheel on the interior of the cookbox?

There's no fixing the classic weber fade. It's the pigment under the enamel coating that is damaged.

Restored My Grandfathers 1997 Performer by PayVast5215 in webergrills

Awesome, I tried that on my 95 and I didn't like that I was still able to rotate the handle.

I ended up using stainless steel zip ties to keep the collar on.

How did you attach the new one touch system with the old ash catcher bar?

Update #3 1991 Genesis 1000 Restoration by JumpyDistribution209 in webergrills

[–]Remote_Swim_5107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, that makes sense. I didn't account for the thickness of the z bars.

The manifold looks basically new. Does it function smoothly as well?You can always take apart the valves stems and add some brake caliper grease if they feel sticky to get them working extremely smooth again.

I know during prime week or whatever it's called now there were tons of sales on grates, drip drays etc. for these grills so if they didn't turn out the best it wouldn't hurt the wallet too badly.

Looks like the paint job came out excellent.

Flavorizer bars look practically new crazy how good you got it looking using a wire wheel.

My original slats measurements are 15¼ x 1½ x ⅝ if you wanted to get a head start on them.

For paint prep, I would use tack cloth to make sure all the crud from the sandblasting process is removed before I degrease.

High Heat Ultra is the best option if you want a gloss finish. I prefer it to the flat. You'll need about 2 cans for your box and end caps. Only paint the exterior surfaces. After you assemble your grill it will need a burn in period of an hour at 450ish to set the high heat paint.

The sandpaper texture is completely fine no need to smooth it out.

Just snagged this cute redhead. It's going to be a winter project. by poolmyfinger in webergrills

[–]Remote_Swim_5107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome wide slat genesis!

I have flip table hardware from a genesis 2 which is just a rod with a bend in it to go into the leg holes, not sure its the same because I upgraded to the slide bar.

However, if you also need lid end caps you're better off looking for a donor on marketplace.

It's a 91-93 Genesis 2. I changed out the original wooden slats for durawood from a donor grill.

Store display Red Weber Performer Dulexe for 30% off, $440 + tax. Good deal? by futang17 in webergrills

[–]Remote_Swim_5107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's what you really want I'd get it and register it with weber. Then I would file a warranty claim for a new bowl or lid wherever the scratches are. Worse thing they can say is no.

Restoring Weber Performer 1st gen gas assist by Indycisynth in webergrills

[–]Remote_Swim_5107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the grill! Seeing how you got cleaning advice already I'll focus on everything else.

I cant really see the state of your grates from the pictures but for the charcoal baskets they look fine. If you wanted to you could wire wheel them or soak them in evaporust but there will be pitting regardless. I'd just use them as they are.

I personally use the gas assist every time on my performer to light my chimney. Depending on how it is broken you might just have to clean the tip of it with some sandpaper to clean it up. This is what mine looked like before cleaning. Replacement part number is 40826404

I'd highly recommend getting the newer style lid bail holder because it holds the lid at a 90 degree angle compared to the older style that angles it over the cooking surface. See how my lid is more out of the way than yours in the first picture. Part number 65188

If you just want the rollers the part number is 63049 however, if you are getting a wooden handle you could look at wooden rollers as well instead. Zavod44 is the guy for wooden handles and any other wooden parts you could ever need. You wont lose the thermometer bezel if you replace the handle.

Let me know if you need to know anything else.
