My Weber gas grill was not cooking evenly , so I decided to fix it and it was a good time to clean it too.

I also have this same grill from 2003. It has no rust and it's never had a cover on it. It was given to me by my grandparents. I cant believe the build quality of Weber, its outstanding. I didn't quite spend as much time and money as you but i did replace burners, grates, flavor bars, and ignitor last year and i still use it several times a week.

[@ScrawnyClownSnatch]

Just got this exact grill from my dad after he used it since 2005. Needless to say it needed some work so thanks for the tutorial.

[@x-man4702]

Great job on the restoration! Those older Weber grills never die with some maintenance and care.

[@sooners2win]

Excellent! Mine has been neglected for 5 years using charcoal kettle, just started my project on mine. It actually cleaned up really nice. New grates and bars and burner on the way.

[@mattgoda4647]

Outstanding job sir! Learned a lot from watching. Just got a used Silver Series in decent shape from a neighbor. Going to restore for my cousin that just bought his first house.

[@jimv1484]

Nice work! I just bought one off of Craigslist today and cleaned her up. She got up to 500 degrees in a matter of minutes...very impressive grill....my first Weber. I am dying to buy her some shiny new parts....

[@rexstennett6382]

Looks almost like new. I'm pretty thorough and have cleaned my Weber Genesis Silver B (Green) several times over the years, but never the thorogh refurbish you did. Very nice! Let's go OCD brethren!! Enjoyed the video, thank you!

[@chadchartrand]

Just picked up a free one from the curb. Can’t wait to restore it. Great job!

[@derekharper7868]

same!

[@derekcoble2215]

I bought this exact grill already restored on craigslist for 200 bucks like 6 years ago. I just ordered new flavorizer bars and a grease tray bracket because they were getting rusty. Otherwise it's still a total champ. In 10 years maybe I'll replace the burners and repaint it lol.

[@InfiniteCraftsman]

Awesome! Another Weber saved! Pro tip! Take a window scraper (razor) to the i side of that lid. Scrape as hard as you can, you won’t scratch it. It will look brand new like the outside.

[@danielscott1031]

Thanks for the detailed video, I have just bought a Weber spirit just like this one after watching your video. It needs a little work but I can’t wait to get stuck in and make it look and work like new again. Cheers!

[@cleverkitsune4302]

Genesis are far better grills spirits are barely more utility than a portable grill

[@adrodz]

great video!! I have the same model 14 years now an going strong after watching this I might do some restoring Thanks

[@3May]

resto the way I like it, no narration, just the work. good job.

[@brianodonnell3740]

Got a free one (two burner) curbside this summer. Rehab’d it and now my son and his college roommates basically have a brand new Weber Grill. I’m going to look at a 3 burner tomorrow. Guy is asking $80 and says it still works great. It looks like it just needs some TLC. I love doing this stuff.

[@rmitconsulting2234]

Did a restore on my Q that we used for tailgating, paint bubbled up on the lid, inside and out. replaced all the guts, passed on to my daughter, still runs great. I just got a 310 that is a complete restore/gut. Anybody out there know where I can get the decals on the control panel or a replacement panel. thanks. BTW very satisfying when its done and you do the first cook on it....Thanks again, Richard

[@DerekFromMalden]

So glad there is another nut out there rebuilding his Weber beside me!! I just gave mine a light cleaning to use it tonight. I have rebuilt mine 2 times in the 24yrs I have had it. I bought mine when I was dating my wife, and we just celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary so its easy to remember (when I bought it LOL) They are great grills, and on the rare occasion I think of replacing it, I remember how much I love the way it cooks, and the junk out there for sale, and I keep it. Mine has the cast iron grills which I like better. Great job!!

[@masterofnone]

24 years! Wow! Not planning to change this one for long time. Thank you for watching Derek

[@tedgarrity800]

I did the same thing but eventually the cart was so rusted (part of its life was at the Jersey shore) I had to give it up.

[@noreennowak7464]

WELL DONE!! Most I’ve learned about restoring a Weber grill.

[@masakotidrow8649]

We decided to try replacing burners after watching your video instead of buying a new one. Our model 200 E, 14 yrs old, crossover burner broke off. Your video is a great guidance, thank you!

[@hotbeefymcd8162]

How did it go???

[@edwinhernandez4445]

Spectacular job bro! You are an example of something that has been forgotten in our culture. While it is easier to discard and replace, the pride and worth of a total rebuild as you demonstrated is a better option. Well done sir!

[@jt4199]

Outstanding video! Simply outstanding.

[@geoffreywilliams9324]

Well done. I have one of these but at this time it is still in good shape not having been used much. Now I know what can be done . . .

[@Buford_T_Justice1]

I bet every steak you cooked after the restoration tasted better than ever! Great job dude!

Good job I just got a free one off of Craigslist going to do the same... Webber grills are great and last a long time

Looks as good as new! I have the same Grill and I hope I can make it as good as that.

[@bertramennett5822]

Thanks for the video. Great job.

[@craigcampbell7292]

The whole enchilada! What a fun project. How did you get the plastic end caps to look brand new?

[@theripoffchicago]

Amazing job. Should there be a space between the cover and the bottom part of the grill in the back?

[@rdeeeezy]

SIlver Genesis B for the win! Mine is still kicking after 16 years.

[@NoWay23548]

Just watching this makes me want to go out and clean our own grill. My wife thanks you sir.

[@michaelbrathwaite7019]

Well that's saved me buying a new grill!! Thanks

[@emet5042]

Nice job- for next time, try installing the burner tubes from the manifold side and not torquing the end screws. 👍

[@ecsvlogs6170]

Grate job man love it

[@ZolaTaTa]

Awesome job

[@ThePdxster]

I have used a ton of different cleaners for those plastic work tables. What I've found that works best is dry paper towels squirted with plenty of undiluted Dawn dishwashing liquid (right out the bottle). Rub it in, wipe off with clean paper towels, repeat. Haven't tried Dawn's new "Ultra" formula but it might work even better.

[@tedgarrity800]

For tough or sticky stains Bon Ami or Barkeeper's Friend works great.

[@sallydavidson4471]

The Mr. CLEAN Magic Eraser is much better then paper towels! I love the Dawn products and the Ultra Dawn is another amazing product. I've actually used that on the inside of the lid and it does wonders!

[@andrewseamans1419]

Curious why you would choose to hand paint as opposed to spray? I'm assuming thicker layers. Looks great! Just bought a three burner Webber I need to clean up

[@MrDlv1969]

Great work....

[@douglasrodriguez1006]

My neighbor gave me the similar looking grille. What series is this? And where can I find the replacement parts?

[@marksvideos7091]

Many thanks!! This is what I was looking for as it shows a complete dissasembly of my exactly same Silver Genesis. I've been putting up with uneven burners for a few seasons but I now realize that I should just do a mid-life rebuild to bring everything back to life. Any suggestions on a good source for the parts at decent prices other than Amazon?

[@masterofnone]

I found Amazon had the best prices. Home depot also carries parts for this grills.

[@hankschrader149]

Just about to wrap up a rebuild job on my 1996 Weber 900. My cookbox was toast so I ordered a new one from Weber and all the other inside goodies. Still cheaper and better than a brand new one! What model is yours?

[@erickjohnston2633]

Brilliant, your vid was passed on by my future son in law. My Weber has just about given up the ghost after 20 years and this vid has likely saved it from the scrap yard!!! We are now in the process of sourcing the parts, not easy! Thanks from Northern Ireland.

[@sallydavidson4471]

Have you tried contacting Weber directly through email? I've actually called them and it's definitely a waiting game as I was on hold for 45 minutes. It was worth it as the Weber customer service actually can see the schematic of my 1998 Grill to see the specific part # I needed. I got the parts shipped to me in 3 days (I live in the states)! All original Weber parts.

[@erickjohnston2633]

Sally Davidson many thanks. Yes I have found a supplier in the UK. Now time to do the cleaning job. Take care.

[@MrLewood]

@@erickjohnston2633 Hi Erick, what's the name of your Supplier? I am in France and could not find some parts other than in the US not shipping internationally :-(

[@beetlebsr]

ah yes, the genesis silver b- 3 burner with cabinet. 2005 model. originally had stainless steel flavor bars. mine is 17 years old and still running strong.

[@1TokeNChoke]

Weber grills are expensive but worth every penny as they are built solid and have replacement parts. I went through several cheap grills over the years until a co worker sold me his gently used weber genesis. I have used it for years and just replaced the burner and flavorbars. I thought the grates would need replacing but after scraping away for a few hours they look good as new.

[@johnpadgett8295]

great job what kind of paint did you use?

[@geauxtigersdjs]

Those 2 screws on burner 1 and 3 do not need to be removed; burners just slide out after loosening knob supports.

[@delta70]

just picked one up for 100 bucks on marketplace. It is natural gas so got a kit to convert it to propane. It was really dirty but cleaned up and looks like new. 2018 genisis II. These webers are made to last.

[@bbizzle6901]

I'm assuming you bought new burners ? If you did clean the old ones i'm very curious on how you restored the metal look

Very nice job. 😊 A 1000% better, have added yrs to its life.

I hate that this pops up the day after I put mine in the trash. Great work❤

[@christinewilkins7660]

Could the grills be refinished instead if only slightly rusted? Have a similar grill and looking at restoring it...was considering sanding off the rust and refinishing it with oil / some sort of coating/paint... yes no?

[@masterofnone]

Sure you can

[@ceansilorcaso5820]

Where are you located? I need to restore my grill

[@eddcain]

Great!!!!!

[@argmooner6524]

Great video! Thanks very much. I am about to cut 4 inches of the square legs off on the small wheel side (rust) can you suggest an easy fix to replace the 4inches of square tubing and (maybe the wheels also . Whells arent necessary. Thanks for any help.

[@masterofnone]

That will depend on what tools you have. I would weld new legs. If you don't have a welder , getting stock metal that will fit inside or outside of the square legs overlapping it 3-4 inches and putting 2 through bolts and finishing it with nuts on the other side is one way. Getting square wood to fit inside the leg and epoxy gluing it there is another way. I hope this gives you a idea . Thanks

[@JamesWenta]

What did you use to finish off the Gray plastic counter? Mine keeps showing oil stains?

[@masterofnone]

I used SC Johnson Paste wax after washing with degrees er . This is not a one time solution. You have to keep applying it btw

[@alvarezz09]

awesome job! i was wondering why didn't you paint the inside of the bottom where the grates go?

No worries . Glad to hear you fixed it.

Is it just that 1 bolt holding the firebox in. I got it out, but it broke. Did you use OEM part to just by a bolt and nut. Thanks.

[@masterofnone]

3 if I remember correctly. And best way is to remove the way I did in this video. Thanks

[@garyk9116]

There was only 1, and it came out pretty easily. Where did you purchase the cotter /clevis pin and bolt. None of the big box stores by me carry that size.

Such an awesome restoration! Can you tell me what those are call @10:25? Would be much appreciated.

[@masterofnone]

Clevis pin and clips

Master of None hey thanks! I recently bought a grill like this on OfferUp. I didn’t want to spend 500$ on a new grill.

[@Trackhoe075]

Great job! Disappointed that you never did same level for the inside! Yes it’s going to be the first to get crap but it was just disappointing to see the level of quality work you put into everything but the inner! Just not my thing

[@christopherwright7541]

Very Nice! I have the same grill, purchased in 2005. Still going strong. I've change the grates, flavor bars and striker, but that's about it. The original cover just gave up. Ordered a new one and plan to reburb (paint) the same parts you did which are looking a little old. One question....was there a reason you rolled/brushed the high heat paint on vs. spray paint?

[@er5490]

Curious to see a response for rolling vs spraying as well

What is the cleaner for the plastic side table?

Looks like dishsoap. But there are stuff that also kills algea and fungus. Then i would use plastic refurbisher.

I didn’t see what you poured on the sanded grill to scrub it before you rinsed it. May I ask? I’m in the middle of doing this now. Thanks so much! 💕🌻🌻 After watching the entire video, I don’t want to finish! I don’t have all the tools. Ugh!

[@masterofnone]

It was degreaser. (You can use degreaser) it might be a good investment to buy the tools you need. That's how I see it with tools. Investment

[@Tinyteacher1111]

Master of None I do too. I’m furthering my tool collection, and have some that would work if I bought a steel brush as an attachment. I’m in a new house, and I like to do things myself. Thanks!!!!!

[@zsymone]

I was wondering about painting the inside of the grill. yes or no

[@masterofnone]

Paint I used is ok up to 1200 F . Grill should not pass 600F So it is ok to use. But you want to think about paint fumes "might mix in to your food. I want to say no because of that. If you do paint it let us know how it turns out after you use it.

The only thing I would add is to rebuild the burner valves instead of just wire brushing the orifices.

[@edsmith6504]

That very grill, is a 2005 Genesis Silver B. The 2005 is the only year with doors underneath. Instead of porcelain flavorizer bars, get the aftermarket stainless ones they used on the Gold series found on ebay. Check the measurements before ordering, and get the correct quantity of bars (some grills take 3, some 5). You'll pay a little more, but get twice the life. -Weber assembly tech.

[@turbo2582]

Thanks you for the series number. I am a first time gas grill owner. I got this grill recently and could not find the Genesis Silver with doors online. I am excited about restoring it.

I was able to restore my Weber until the frame that holds it rusted out

[@windowdoog]

…you know if you just brushed out the box and cleaned the tube holes you probably would have been good to go, right?

[@woosa42]

I love it when people put videos up to show us how to clean the Weber silver b and then not do it right. First of all, those bolts that you took off at the end of the burners are just for guides. You already took the knob panel off. There are two nuts and bolts that fasten the manifold to the grill. Take them off and slide the manifold back, and the burners will slide right out through the holes. Did you actually read the directions when putting the grill together?

[@masterofnone]

No, I got it done by figuring things out. I didn't have a manual to work off of. "Doing it right" is open to someone's opinion. So far nothing has happened because I took off the wrong bolt. This is how I got it done and I think comments on this video is a proof it helps some people. I am sorry this was not a video up to your satisfaction. I hope you will find the video out there of someone doing it right. Have a great day.
