Last post by Cellar2ful - Today at 07:54:29 AMThose wheel caps are not correct for that kettle. I believe the wheel caps should be this style. You can pick them up at Lowes or some hardware stores may carry them. They are called "push nuts". Here is a link to purchase at Lowes. If you have a problem finding them in Canada, send me a pm and I can send you a couple.

Last post by MacEggs - Today at 05:27:51 AMBefore I did anything, I cooked-up some burgers on it.
Then proceeded to apply lots of "fluids" to help get things released.
Those included 3-in-1 oil plus some WD-40 Rust-release Penetrant. Not in that order.
Let that sit overnight and applied more the next day.
I am very happy to say that I got the bowl vents open as they were all closed and essentially seized.
Even happier that I was able to get the thumbscrews removed after applying some heat using a propane torch, and vice-grips. The legs pretty much slid out after that...
I have not attempted to remove the wheel caps.
Are they the original for this era (1965-68) ??
Enjoy the Easter weekend!

Charcoal Grilling & BBQ / Re: Dual Rotisserie Chicken
Last post by GrilledMeat - Today at 05:17:14 AMNice Cook Greg! I am in the midst of an early Genesis Restoration right now with hopes to utilize the grill just as you are doing as it's primary purpose. I have heard rave reviews from others regarding the quality/ results of the roti in conjunction with the early Genesis models. Thanks for sharing!

Last post by Babekyu - April 17, 2025, 07:23:48 AMDoes anyone have this Weber griddle insert and using it?

The Weber website hasn't had it available for months, but it is available from several websites including HomeDepot, ACE etc.

Off Topic / Nachos on a Pellet Grill
Last post by bamakettles - April 17, 2025, 06:42:24 AMNot having a pellet grill area, I'll put this here since the heading says the topics can be anything and everything!
We had tacos earlier in the week and with the leftovers and some additions I made nachos last night. This is so easy to make and very rewarding to the taste buds! The following layers comprised the creation:
Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips
Ground Chuck Beef browned with onions and a mix of Old El Paso and Meat Church Fajita seasonings
Freshly shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheese
Diced yellow onion
Green onion blades - about 1/4" chop
Black beans
More seasoning then on a 350F grill or oven for 15 minutes
At the table:
Lettuce
Diced Tomatoes
Black olives (all we had were chopped on hand - I recommend sliced)
Sour cream and / or seasoned crema
Taco Sauce
Pickled Jalapenos from Kellee's garden last year
These were really good! Sorry, no Weber products here, but trying to keep up interest on the site.
Cheers!

Funny you should mention leaving and coming back. Don't about anyone else, but I have not been able to get onto this site for weeks, right after you talked about leaving. I'd check a couple of times a week and get nothing.
Of course, just happened to check today and am glad that I did ! ! !
Thank you sir! The Genesis cooks a great rotisserie chicken. My goal is to make them as good as Sam's or Costco and they're darn close.
