    Why did you not show the entire reassembly of the gas tubes. Not interested in all the painting, drilling and tapping. After watching all the things I didn't need to know, the one main thing I wanted to see in this video, the installation of the gas manifold onto the 3 gas tubes, you blew off that part and didn't show. Should the tubes be tight or able to move in the tube socket? Are there any adjustments for the air shutters on the 3 tubes to get the right flame? Waste of time. Maybe another video somewhere else will show it.

    Great restoration! You can’t beat these old grills. The new ones just seem so “flimsy” compared to the old ones. I have an old Genesis 3 burner that I’ve kept going for many years, but it has come time to replace. Trying to find a good used one that I can rebuild.

    Great Video. One clarification. To remove the burner assembly, you do NOT have to remove the black support under ignition side of the grill. I just spent a few hours trying to drill out screws , gave up, and then tried to pull assembly out from other side and it can be removed!!! have to remove ignition. See this video for example of that -> ua-cam.com/video/NRBpTcjydBs/v-deo.html

    I bought this as my first propane grill. It's been a fun, learning experience ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . I think it's a bit too pricey after looking at other grills, but it wasn't hard to put together and it works really well. I love the side burner option for heating food during a power outage. I have an electric stove and live in the South (Hurricane season), so this was a bonus. I also bought a cover for it and it has protected it nicely (the Char Broil All-Season Grill Cover 3-4 Burner: Large). Every few grill sessions, I take the rack (or grate) and burner covers off and clean them with a non-abrasive scrubby and mild soap. I wipe the excess off of the bottom as well, taking care to avoid the gas and pilot lines.

    I'm so glad I found your video I'm doing the exact same thing you are to the exact same model Grill. I'm also running into the same issue with the three screws attaching the burner tubes that you're showing in video time 6:40. I'm hoping you can maybe tell me what size drill bit you use to drill those out and subsequently the tap size, bolt size and etc. to put in the new bolts. Hopefully you're still monitoring your UA-cam account 🤞 your help would be so gratefully appreciated.

    Those that drilled out the two manifold screws - how? I’ve tried several hardened bits (cobalt M42), 3in1 oil, 1/3hp corded drill, nothing seems to be working to drill them out. The bits are drifting & I feel like it’s drilling through the aluminum, not the screws. Appreciate any advice.

    You did a really nice job. Every defect the factory built into that grill, you have now redone better than their original product. Specifically, the stainless socket screws and carriage bolts were a clever solutions to the inexcusable corrosion issues. EXCUSE MY RANT: Weber's foreign fabricators must use some of the worst paint prep and worst paint on earth to paint their cabinet bases. My cabinet was so horribly rusted I had to disassemble the whole base of the grill, strip it, and repaint it. I think the factory did not even prime those bases. Genesis and Spirit grills were imported from China, which might explain the horrible quality. I thought Weber would be American made. In the future, I will try to buy real American made grills.

    The difference in quality with Webers is obvious from first use and from the ability to repair. Reminds me of quality shoes, which can be restored/repaired during the lifetime of an adult.

    Great video. I've got the exact same grill and needed something that showed how to disassemble and clean/replace the burners and crossover tube. I recently determined that mud wasps had plugged up the front burner tube on the gas valve end - and it was taking forever to get the middle and rear burners to light. This was very helpful. I'm hoping that I don't have the fastener issues you had. I'm not into drilling, tapping, and grinding.

      A couple of simple tricks regarding the removal of screws before you attempt to remove them. 1) spray with WD40 and leave over night 2)give the heads of the screws a few good taps with a hammer. This helps crack them loose 3)if they are still tight after doing the above, hit them with a blow torch to heat the screw and area This will work if done properly and will save you a lot of work drilling and tapping etc etc

  • @tomj528
    @tomj528 4 роки тому

    Just a few tips...those screws on the left side that hold the burner tubes down don't actually get removed when taking out the burner tube assembly and says so in the instructions. The tubes just slip under them. Also, the propane tank isn't meant to sit on the bottom but it's supposed to hang on the tank hook and retainer that's part of the tank gauge on the right sidewall. I like to replace the bolts on the right side with stainless bolts (not carriage bolts) and that eliminates your grinding. What I like about Weber is great product support and part availability for decades. You can keep one of these going for 25+ years thanks to the design and ease of repair which makes them far superior to all other grills.

    Good Video, Those bolts you replaced with the m8 was extra work you didn't have to do. The video from grillparts.com said not to loosen those bolts, those bolts are there as a guide for you to slide your burner tubes under, their video said do not loosen or tighten those bolts they will break. Weber should have that on the instruction sheet that comes with the burner tubes, I was lucky to watch their video all you have to do is clean out the crud from under the heads of those bolts and the new tubes will slide right in.It would really help others if you edited your video and told others that those bolts are just guides. here is the link for the video www.grillparts.com/weber/silver_a.asp?product_id=7507
