Title: Reaching out to others who know webers.
Post by: hpainesr on September 06, 2020, 06:18:50 PM: My name is Horace I live in Niceville, Florida. I was referred to this group by another group. I have a crazy hobby of refurbishing Webers, really any Weber. A couple years ago I was diagnosed with a hereditary disease called Huntington's disease. Basically my brain is dying, however I am alive and well so I press on. So my doctor suggested I find a hobby to keep my hands and my mind busy and that I should rebuild a car. Well, I don't change my own oil so I had to find something else. So I decided one day to fix my old Weber Silver A. My neighbor seen it, liked it and asked me to fix his. Since 2018 I have refurbished at the least 250 Webers of all kinds. Some are new and others are not. But here I am now checking out the groups of people who have a lot of information that I have used by going through the internet without joining the groups. But today I have. So, hello everyone.

250 rebuilds. Wow.
It sounds like you are going to be of assistance to a few people here that have yet to rebuild a Weber gasser.
