Just picked up this grill from the original owner yesterday for $100. He's kept it indoors, changed out the burners a year ago, came with extra grates, original owners manual and an extra igniter new in the box. This thing is in great condition for being in South Louisiana it's whole life and I look forward to cleaning her up. He seemed sad to let it go, but I told him I would send pics after she's complete.

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing this restored! I've got a redhead Genesis 1000 from @addicted-to-smoke that is on my project list.

I just got one of these, for 15 bucks. You can definitely see the difference in price if you look at mine lol. I put the lid over on my platinum, but I wanna use the side pieces and stainless handle. But they dont seem to be the same size

Thank you everyone! I told one of my partners at work that I picked it up and he told me that he had one in his garage that he would just give me to free up the space. So I also ended up with this and just need to figure out how to convert from natural to LP.

WOW! Nice score. Swap out the orifices, and add a regulator hose and you are in business. Or post that
on Craigslist and make an easy $500.

I converted that exact S330 over the summer, orifice swap will not work.
The valves used are variable and you cannot do good flame control.
I bought an entire manifold off weber, ran me about 110 $ CAD and only swapped the side burner orifice.
Sold it off and made about 400$ profit (Monopoly Money)

It took me a while to get to this point, but having much more free time has helped. Now to start cleaning.

Hit the bad rust spots in the frame with some sandpaper and primer. I hit the full frame with primer, just forgot to get a pic. Final pic after painting at the bottom.

Removed the wood slats, sanded down half of them and stained so far. Need to pick up more sandpaper and some paint stripper to finish the firebox.

Quote from: crowderjd on April 06, 2020, 08:53:17 AMReally appreciate it! I've had to bag and label everything to make sure it all goes back the way it came apart. Hopefully will have it finished this week.
Yup this looks amazing...I don't have the patience for taking the whole thing apart...too many parts on a gasser! Great work, I can't wait to see the finished product.

Put the Weber badge under one of the wife's grow lights to bake a little.

Worked on the grill for a little bit today. Cleaned up the gauge/temp probe.

Made some more progress on the end caps for the lid. Picked up some paint stripper and it's still a PITA!

Was able to work on the Weber this weekend and should be about to fire her up tomorrow. Everything is painted and mostly back together, just want to finish a few small things before I take more photos of it fully assembled. I was also able to get the high heat clear on the Weber emblem and man does it pop even more. Really happy with how everything is coming together.

Very nice job, especially on the painting. The decal came out very top notch.
I actually picked up a Spirit 900 around the same time and restored her too. I posted about it here:
http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/index.php?topic=45327.0
That dang propane tank scale is an interesting contraption, I'm wondering if they truly still work.
What a fun project. I ended up tossing my wood slats and used pressure treated lumber, thankfully the original handle was in solid shape.
