Older Weber Genesis grill... Come and get it

Just come get this thing...

Wife bought a Dyna-Glo at Home Depot yesterday as my Fathers Day/B-Day gift, to replace this.

I bought it new around 1995, and we've used it well since. I usually power wash it at least once a year, replace flavorizer bars every couple years, the ignitor usually every other year (it's out again), but it's just showing it's age, and well, it's time to move on. The one thing I like about this, that the new grill doesn't have, is the spring loaded tank holder, that tells you how much LP is left. We still use it, just that it has to be manually lit. :D

A really complete clean up and I'm sure it'll be good to go again.

Just bring me some liquid libation, or maybe a free reach around (if the Wife isn't looking)...

Ignore the big Brinkmann grill, that is long gone, but you can see the Weber behind it.

Not so much in to wine, what is this mead cider you speak of.

Mead cider is something I've been working on. The idea is that traditional mead is X quantity of honey padded out with water to make a specific volume and fermented. In my particular case I used apple juice instead of water and reduced the honey content. The result definitely has a cider taste and bite however it has a smoother, sweeter honey finish to it.

The idea is more along the lines of long term I'd like to start converting some of our hive dividends into booze and perhaps retailing those instead. This was made with locally grown Joliet honey.

Yea, so can anyone else (not that I would be unhappy), but would hate for him to come all the way to find it gone. :D

Also, reading the reviews on this new grill, the drip tray completely rusts out within a year or two, so I will probably take some high temp exhaust paint and coat it nicely tonight and hopefully buy it some more time.

I've garbage picked a couple of older Gensis grills of that vintage, they're great. Easily fixable and great grills. I've had thoughts of just finding them, fixing them, and selling them, people throw them away all the time, and it costs nothing to paint them back up and fix them.
