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.

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.

I did the same. Garbage picked one for my place at college over a decade ago. Replaced the wood and flavor bars. Now it needs burners and grates and will go up to my dad's place for grilling for god know how long. I'm a huge Weber nut hugger.

Damn! How late were you up to do that? :D

I finished cleaning the Caddy after you left, went in, took a shower and went to bed.

12:30 or so. Took me about 15 minutes no huge deal. I work fast when I want to.

Got hamburger thawing for the first run then I have 2 racks of ribs sitting in my freezer ready to pull out. Jewel had em on for buy 2 get 1 free so I paid like 8 bucks each for a full rack. Can't complain.
