Weber Genesis - cutting new wood slats

[crosseyedphoto]

Working on restoring a Genesis 2200, it has seen better days. Used a planer to match the wood to the same thickness of the durawood. Going to stain them in a rich maple color. Ordered all new internals and waiting on those. Can't wait to bring this grill back to new!

Welcome to the club!

Great job on the slats.
Nice to see people making their own.  It's not difficult.

The above article is great.  However, I have one issue with:

Move the emblem in a circular motion to remove paint.


I received excellent advice from @SixZeroFour regarding this.
He stated to have a straight-edge on the sandpaper, and run the emblem along that to achieve straight lines.
I personally preferred that look, but whatever you choose, it is rather straight-forward to do. 


I did the same for my Genesis Jr restore last spring.
Not exactly a close-up pic, but a huge improvement from what it looked like when I rescued it.

Looks like you're on the right track! Restoring these old gassers is a ton of fun and best of all they are great BBQ's

Jr restore and badge looks great! Some of us on TVWBB have taken up an idea I borrowed from a grill restoration I saw on CL. We are painting the kettle in the badge red. I even did one where I painted the outline and "Weber" in white to match the actual Weber logo:
