Restoring an old Weber Grill - Uncleaned for 10 years

[@MrRskskater]

What I like about this is he shows his mistakes and it helps me not make those mistakes! Looks really good man! Thank you!

[@timkimbrell6602]

Loos like a fun project. I’m starting one too. I like to use card board and plastic with drop cloths to protect the flooring when painting.

[@yoiselwaters1886]

We have a hideous in ground one that is like 15 years old, we haven’t used it but it’s an eyesore. I’m so going to restore it now !! Thanks for this video!!

[@CookingwithChris1]

Go for it! No prob.

[@lionelt.9124]

An angle grinder with a steel brush works wonders on rust and scale. I used it daily to clean rust off rims for tire repairs.

[@CookingwithChris1]

It’s amazing haha

[@Kevin_747]

Thats a New Braunfels smoker. Work pretty good with a few easy mods. I've been using mine since 1995.

[@shylynnh2971]

Awesome. I needed to kno how to do this. I was looking for someone to revamp my grill.. and this video came up.. Thank you so much

[@CookingwithChris1]

Glad it could help!

[@Eli-Motes]

Defenetly need to get a grill cover now

[@PianoSkillBoy]

I love the chipper "but anyways" after you mention something dangerous lol

[@heresdamian]

Awesome job! Inspires me to get at some projects I've been procrastinating on.

[@valeriaeleve]

WOOOW! this was actually so satisfying

[@JavierPwns]

Came out looking fantastic good job

[@CookingwithChris1]

Thank you!

[@Vera-td6ku]

He should be using Rust-Oleum high heat paint

[@masonmonroe2243]

I've got the exact same grill I need to give some TLC to before football season. Great video!

[@blissful1461]

Wow! Impressive. Almost makes me go out & buy a used grill. Great job!!!🎉

Great job 👏!!!

[@cod3dx949]

Great job bro. Thanks for the incredible information, tips, tricks and product recommendations. It is well appreciated.

[@CookingwithChris1]

I appreciate your comment!

[@CookingwithChris1]

Anything else you’d like to see?

[@geobun2734]

Well done but you should have also seasoned the grill to prevent future rust

[@charlieromero44]

Mine is about 20 years old lol just been sitting in our backyard. let’s see how it goes

[@REAPERJR24]

Did you spray that rustoleum inside the grill???

[@michaelconnor5265]

probably cause he doesn't want to answer these questions lol

[@rebecacabral4316]

Awesome job

[@vociferon-heraldofthewinte7763]

I’m pretty sure it’s a CharBroil with a Weber thermometer. Nice job.

[@sandilee5744]

Nice job!

Nice job!!!

[@CookingwithChris1]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@danielsalazar299]

Nice job brother !

[@CookingwithChris1]

Thank you!

[@DavidPerez-cc3jc]

No need to remove that much. Just vacuum, power wash and coat with Canola oil will maintain better heat insulation and maintaining of proper temperature. This is a weekend project not months. The spray paint is not necessary

[@nathanielfuentes5294]

This is a 2 day project max. Idk why it took months. 4 processes to remove ash and rust makes no sense.

[@peterm3159]

I'm confused.. did you paint the inside as well?

[@michaelconnor5265]

sure looks like it

[@providence8853]

Great job

[@CookingwithChris1]

Thank you!

[@suestafford9528]

Amazing!!

[@ScooterBlia2]

Do you spray paint the interior as well?

[@KBSpiritualLife]

Good job

[@GrowingWardFamily]

It’s crazy how fast the metal soles up the paint!

Use painters tape over your cut lines on the wood to prevent the splintered wood

[@007-e7h]

Awesome 👏🏾 How can I put a green bay packers logo on the grill?

[@AndreaPorter]

It looks like new

[@hawghawg381]

That thin expanded metal is going to warp when hot

[@nathanielfuentes5294]

Yeah. Mesh would have been my last choice. Stainless steel with holes drilled might be a good option. Or a new charcoal grate

[@CookingwithChris1]

The things I learn haha. But surprisingly it didn’t warp much at all. Fires in the basket didn’t too much to it!

[@kojackmantuckett5503]

Niiiicccceee🎉!!!

[@don4402]

Did you also spray inside the grill??

[@CookingwithChris1]

Yes!

[@michaelconnor5265]

now you're eating paint

[@georgehall2345]

Great job Whatever Name on Grill🤔

[@davec65]

Can you use a high temp spray paint on the inside of the grill? Thanks

[@BrianMiller1973]

You should not.

[@SundaySkater]

The product he used says not to

[@sobeh20]

Did you use hi temp paint on the inside? Did you do any kind of burn off before you cooked in it?

[@nathanielfuentes5294]

My thoughts exactly

[@CookingwithChris1]

Yes of course

[@peterm3159]

This is not a food grade paint and is highly toxic. Do not ever paint the inside of a smoker or grill or BBQ. Grind, clean and season with canola or avocado oil.

[@nathanielfuentes5294]

@@peterm3159 eventually, the toxic compounds will burn off. I doubt it would take more than 20-30 minutes

[@JBBost]

I came here to learn how to restore my grill but what I found was a guy with a fetish for slow-mo vacuuming -- and I can honestly see it

[@CookingwithChris1]

hahaha

[@GZBulletZA]

Why did you spray the inside of the barrel?

[@FredLaValley]

How did you clean the grill?

[@danielsalazar299]

No primer needed ? Was that a special heat resistant rustoleum ?

[@CookingwithChris1]

Yeah it was the rust oleum

[@lilcelery5907]

I’m confused it looks like you used Rust-Oleum on the inside of it as well, I didn’t see you do that in the video and there website says not too but it looks so much cleaner trying to restore my crummy char grilled and was wondering what you did for that step?

[@CookingwithChris1]

I did, I should not have but I did. 🥲

[@intouch8789]

​@@CookingwithChris1 Me too. Should I buy a new one? 😂 I ended up tossing my meat in the oven last night after I did some reading about it.

[@Yiriyah]

The inside components should've been seasoned (alike cast iron pots) and light a good fire for an hour or two.

[@gnailsleerdam1547]

Why is there a screen grate?

[@shawnmh91]

[@aaronrodgers5852]

Does anyone know the specific model for this grill??? I’m trying to find this Weber online. Hope someone can help out.

[@CookingwithChris1]

They probably don’t make it anymore

[@kevinconway2094]

pretty sure it's a Char-Broil by the missing badge outline on the right hand side. It has a Weber temp guage but definitely not a Weber

[@giantpedro]

Yep like Kevin said, it's a Char-Broil grill, with a Weber thermometer

[@LUCKYB.]

Why put weak expanded metal in the fire box .

[@JoeAnshien]

Nice - But I have to mention that you should NEVER paint the inside of the grill (POISON), It looks like an old Char Griller or such with a Weber thermometer, there were holes in the bottom that I could see light through, need a real grate in the firebox under the expanded metal. Grill probably was not worth the effort but you can line the bottom of the cook chamber with foil and that will help some. Keep you grill clean and well oiled and it will last.

[@MikeTule-k9z]

Whaaa Wong witit

[@cookingman8709]

sweeeeeeeeet

[@marvinmycat5839]

Elbow grease and/or power tools are your friends for this type of project. Degrease before you paint.

[@RandomActsOfWil]

Did you also paint the inside? How did you remove all that rust from the inside?

[@CookingwithChris1]

I used a grinder on the inside too! Then painted

[@RandomActsOfWil]

@CookingwithChris which paint? I've been hearing others saying not to paint inside even with high heat paint. Others I've heard to just oil inside too season it

[@peterm3159]

Ya I hope your not cooking with this thing, it says right on the website for that paint you used "for exterior of BBQs and grills" this is not a food grade paint. Yikes!

[@sandilee5744]

And can you cook in that bbq without having chemicals leeching into your food

It's a Char Broil Chinese smoker that is same design as New Braunfels. Char Broil bough New Braunfels several years ago 😂

Please don’t tell me you painted the inside of the grill?

[@johnnylong8259]

Not a Weber grill.

[@johnnylong8259]

The thermometer is the only thing that is a Weber part. Someone added it. The factory thermometer must have broke over the years and this was the replacement or it never had a factory one. If it was a factory hole it would be centered.

It’s identical to my New Braunfels Hondo
