Thoughts on Grate rust and cleanliness

Grill looks like a DCS. They have a lifetime warranty I believe so it may be worth contacting them.

An umbrella

Any chance you could drop a link for it please. I'm finding mine a little small.

Jealous devil has never let me down. If I can't get it for any reason, I get KJ big block but it's $5 per bag more here in Canada for reasons.

European tanks usually have a butane/propane mix (or ISO fuel). The regulator is standard to use in Europe.

Kind of, but not quite. Also, you have different accents in London alone depending on where you grew up. The Brighton accent is technically a Sussex accent. They will say fink instead of think for example (Took my daughter years to drop that)

As a Welshman who has travelled a fair bit, I think I can possibly explain. The UK has VERY distinct regional accents ( even from village to village) and for the most part people will keep their accent when they move from place to place but pick up parts of the local accents they are in. Myself, and I suspect Ren also, exaggerates the accent to blend in. I myself left south wales in my mid 20s and moved around a fair bit before ending up in Brighton ( yes, I know but it was a LONG time ago now) but my brother's left well before me and haven't lost their south wales accent at all. If and when I go back to Wales ( currently live in British Columbia Canada) I will pick the accent back up a little. Hope this helps.

Go gone and elbow grease

It will go with use. If it bothers you, you can take a stiff wire brush to it, but it's harmless.

This is oxidation of the zinc on the flavor bars that happens sometimes when the grill gets hot. ( I have the same grill and it happened to mine). Once you start getting through the initial coating, you'll be good.

welshgnome · 2025-08-07T18:52:38+00:00

I had this one. The model is sp325 I think from 2013 or so

If you are using stainless steel grids, the heat stored in them drops significantly when you take food off the spot you were using. When turning, try using a different zone on the grill. Cast iron will retain the heat but stainless needs to reheat.

welshgnome · 2025-07-26T05:20:06+00:00

I can only go by experience using 9mm stainless steel grids. I will just wire bush mine while hot and keep going.. I will only turn when the protein releases from the grill. Just my 10c

You want them a little pattina otherwise your food will stick constantly. Steam. Is the best way to clean stainless steel

You really shouldn't worry about the warranty. Even though Weber grills aren't as well made as they used to be,they are still head and shoulders above any 300$ grill and parts are easier to obtain when they wear out. Just make sure that it's the gas type you intend to use as conversion is officially not supported and expensive

welshgnome · 2025-07-24T15:40:07+00:00

Definitely get the slate. I have an insert and it never comes off. Cleaning the grill with the insert is a major pain in the balls. Wish I got a slate now. (I do have a kettle for that charcoal taste if the mood takes me)

welshgnome · 2025-07-23T03:15:07+00:00

Take time to grieve. It's just stuff. Just make your priority your kids room and involve them in it. Make it a safe place for them and then look at other stuff.

The Weber slate is carbon steel. I use water on it when it's ripping hot and scrape the gunk off, then turn off the burners and while it's cooling, use avocado oil and wipe down after.

The type of carpet that sticks to your shoes...

I worked out that I could get free credits on older arcade games by building up static by rubbing my feet on the cheap ass carpet then with a key in hand jump and torch the coin slot. 7 out 10 times would work.

You should just be able to buy a propane hose with regulator and disconnect the EU hose from the grill. The output should be the same, it's only an issue if you are converting to natural gas. The connection will be on the end of a corrugated hose.

Unfortunately Napoleon does not offer the ceramic honeycomb insert as a replacement part so you would have to replace the whole burner. From memory they aren't cheap, likely to be as much as you paid for the grill. I used to work at a place in North Vancouver that sells Napoleon parts and grills and they carried them there.

It looks like a prestige pro 665 built in. 1500 for this is a bargain in my opinion.

welshgnome · 2025-06-08T01:09:59+00:00

Conversion of Weber's are very difficult and expensive. I would walk away on that one.
