New to me Weber Summit
« on: March 05, 2016, 02:59:18 PM »
So I found a guy selling a Weber Summit for $200 but he agreed to take $100. It was pretty dirty when I picked it up:




Spent some time cleaning it up this afternoon.


Still need to clean it up some more in the inside but overall it is in good condition. It may need a couple new flavorizer bars too.

One issue I am having is some of the ignitors aren't working and the burner tubes are not lighting all the way across. I took a wire brush to the burner tubes but that didn't help. Any suggestions?

Told you that black out front would clean up.

Congrats Dude, that's a majorly sweet score.  Glad that I was completely wrong about the lid!!


Can you elaborate more on "burner tubes are not lighting all the way across"? 



BTW, have you figured out the model # ?

Nice score! A wire brush doesn't clear the holes. A pin pushed through each hole should clear up the burner. You should also make sure the inside of the burners are clean too.

The pin trick helped. It was almost like the holes were rusted shut. It took a hammer and a ice pick to knock holes in parts of the tube

That's sweet! You want the burner tube holes all uniform across the entire burner, I use a miniature Philips screwdriver that is just barely smaller in diameter than the hole. Works perfect and the Philips head really helps twist through the gunk.

Cool.  Might be a good idea to see if you can locate the tag/sticker that has the serial number and the model number.  Should be on the left inside panel.    With that, you can scrounge up a user manual   and the schematics with a complete parts list. 



The igniters are a newer style that what I have dealt with.   WIsh I could help, but I really don't know how they work.  I think they are built in with the manifold somehow.

Once I cleaned out the Inside more the ignitors started working.

Also, the previous owner had the original manuals (and a cover).
