So Trash day was upon us. Pulling into the driveway, my wife spies a Gasser out for big pick up at a neighbors. I jump out of the truck, and go ring his door bell.
Me: "Paul... what are you doing just putting that Weber Gas Grill out for TRASH?!?!
Paul: "Well its a gas grill. You don't like Gas Grills"
Me: "If its okay, i will take it home and go through it. I have fellas that might be able use parts if I can't get her to fire"
Paul: "I hate Webers they wear out"
Me: "slience......"
So I wheel it home. Put it on the patio with the other "Projects".... Saturday, being bored... I dig in... Grates are spent. Flavorizer bars... Spent... Burners.... covered in Rust and cook box is full of "Gunk". The Frame is solid and just surface dirt / dust.
I clean out the Gunk. Tossed the Grates and Bars. Brass brushed the burner tubes. Checked all valving and hoses and igniter. Igniter collector... spent... I hook up the tank. Hit the igniter... well... we have spark... Turned on the gas and used the spare long lighter and WHOOSH!!! burner 1 fired. turned on 2 and 3... WHOOOOOSH!! all burning with blue flame and 1/4 inch yellow tips.... Hmmmm.... possible flip right here. Jump on Grillparts.com and order up what I needed. My next door neighbor (
@Bob BQ ) the one you were perving over his black 22 back in Sept. He asked me what I was doing with that "Gasser".... Told him the story minus the details. He says "Wait... I think I have something that will work for this grill..... He goes home and brings me a NIB from WEBER GRILL PARTS.COM, a set of new SS burner tubes!!! :O I WAS gonna flip it... and now... I am the proud owner of the Gasser. New Grates, Bars, igniter collector and burners...
Looks like the Cover for the Genesis B I have on the Deck will fit.
No Pics yet... However, I will have some once the New parts arrive and are installed.
Even tho it was "Free"... I have about $115.00 in parts invested. BUT... she is good as new. $350.00 worth of grill for $115.00 and a little time and effort.
Sold a few kettles and bought parts for the gasser and the kettle fund is still viable...
Grill on fellas!!
