Weber Kettle Club Forums

So many great restores, but they get buried in various individual threads. Let's keep them in one place here regardless whether they have already been posted elsewhere. We all love seeing how new life can be breathed into the most derelict, neglected and unloved kettles. Let's leave it to one shot before and one after in this thread, but link to the full thread if you have one so we can relive the Restore journey with you again and again.

Who's first?

OK, not a kettle but just finished these wheels today.  00 steel wool, CLR, Vinegar, Baking Soda and lots of masking tape.  Not the greatest but definitely better then before.

This isn't exactly a restore, but more like a rehab.

@greenweb  that lid was nasty.  Worst I've seen.  Great job.

Thanks!  I look at it as a protection barrier.  Not easy taking it off though, especially around lid vent area.  Took my time as I did not want to scratch the vent or the Green porcelain finish.

They look cool but they don't seem practical. Probably a lot of hard work and bending to cook on it ?

Really have enjoyed this thread.  Some beautiful work everyone!
I've only done a few clean ups/restores so I'm pretty much a novice at this point.
My favorite is a 84 22" Craigslist ad.  2nd owner. 
The original owners used to take it out on their house boat; dock and grill turkeys for their clan.  I had to follow suit and grill one myself on the first cook.  Not too bad.

Really liked the accessories that came with purchase.  Potato/corn ring; utensil holder; etc.
The finished product.

Never thought of it like that fellas. Good idea. Push your kettle around as a street vendor.

Bought one new food grate and one new charcoal grate locally. Shimmed the legs on the OTG with beer-can trimmings. Cooked on both all week. Ribs, shrimp, chicken, corn, burgers, brats.
Note to self: Bring steel wool, BKF, razor scraper, magic eraser and a clean grate on every vacation.

Overall it came out pretty good. The lid has a few places where the porcelain did not fade due to long dribbles of something.. nothing I can do about that.. but it's ready for more cooking!

Although, not as pristine as my Red Mastertouch I got earlier, inside and outside was clean enough that all I did was burn-in and started using right away.  Same as before.  No cleaning required.

Nice blue!  Notice the dragon fly in the background?...or is it painted on the wall?

Driving to my sister's house I spotted this on the side of the road.  The guy was moving and was setting a lot of stuff to the curb.  He even helped me load it up.  A little while later my father seen it in the garage and started asking about it.  I decided to surprise him for Father's Day.  Cleaned it up and put some new grates on it.  Needless to say, he was pretty happy with it.

I'm thinking the green is the after picture.  All mildewed and moldy to begin with, a good cleaning and it's a high gloss black.

Amazing how that black kettle cleaned up so nicely.  I never would have thought there was a lime hiding beneath that coat of black....

Razor blade and lots of scrubbing.   ;D ;D ;D

I do love black kettles but the Green little more. Not your typical restore but still a restore as I had to change out the sweeper assy. and clean all the parts to like new condition.   :)

@jerr7

99% of these are the original Weber porcelain finish.....some folks will touch up chipped & rusted areas, but that's usually not the case.....

A gentle scrub down with Dawn dish soap & 0000 steel wool (very EXTRA fine stuff) is what produces the exquisite shine on these gems....


....or, like it says in my signature lines.....

"If you want it fancy there is BBQ spray paint at home depot for that. "

Thanks buckie appreciate your come back

This CI restore was done 3 years ago. 
I got my inspiration from Marty ( @56MPG ).  His post of a Dutch oven restore is earlier in this thread.

A re-post of his blog for anybody that is curious about it.  Works great!

Not bad but still needs some cleaning.

Taken apart to clean.

In progress:

All cleaned up. New grates, handle, legs, and the hardware will be used. I don't think I could have gotten the inside the bowl and the lid any cleaner.
(http://pics.weberkettleclub.com/images/2017/10/28/IMG_4968.jpg)

Outside the bowl and the lid are also spotless, minus bit of porcelain loss around leg mounting areas.

I'm not gonna lie, it was one of the easier transformations I've done.

Big props to the restoration process that y'all have done, its rewarding but hard work. I've spent the better part of the day working on my yellow lid(inside and out)and I'm pooped. Time for beer and football.

WOW. Simply beautiful. Grate work Jim. 

Jim...

I have to say it: We are only 5 weeks into 2018, but that is the "Kettle of the Year" right there.

$40...is just...WOW! Phenomenal score and great restoration!

A big thanks to Karen for agreeing to go an hour in the opposite direction on a "Vacation Friday." ;)

Man, that's gorgeous!

And there's the red ssp, it came boxed and in pieces, figured it was worth the initial detailing, cleaning, shining etc while I put it together.
Followed by colour coding the badge and gas tank to it. Still awaiting the table handle from Brian to finish it off.

Just adding to the mix here... actually posted this first in another forum section.


Hey All!

This is a one-owner 73 that has been in our family from the beginning.  I posted a few months ago about digging into a resto and I finally found time to get it done!  Using the tips and tricks from WKC, I brought him back to life and I am quite happy.  I even got the gorgeous handle from the link here and it is the crowning piece to the project!

Legs, ash pan, bowl, lid and wheels where all worked on.

Tex lives on and will be in the cook rotation now.

Cheers All!

I just got a brand spanking new blue lid, and it was ever so slightly out of round, so I squeezed  it just a little bit and got it perfectly round. Unfortunately it cracked just like the lines on the top picture here! I'm so mad at myself for doing that, I didn't realize the colored ones crack like that. Can anything be done about it? Were you able to fix that too?

What method did you use on the ash catcher @CatskillSmoker ?

1500 wet sand then 0000 steel wool. I didn't polish it with anything.

My latest.  18 inch Mediterranean. The walnut Zav handle is amazing, and might be my new favorite.
