The Weber Guy now has side table wooden slats and lid handles for sale and available to ship!

The Weber slats and handles are usually a large obstacle anyone wanting to do a rehab. More often than not, folks will find a workaround or substitute that might be functional but just doesn’t look right in the end.

These are replacement pieces intended to eliminate poor results and have been manufactured to 100% replicate the original Weber pieces. They will fit Weber 1000-5000 series grills and others.

Each slat measures 15-1/4” long. Slats have eased edges on the long sides and are made of clear cedar. These slats are a perfect fit to your original table brackets and are an exact duplicate to the original OEM weber slats used on the side table and swing up tables on older Weber 3 burner grills. You will receive a set of 6 individual slats for $50.

Each handle measures 24-5/16” long and are also made of clear cedar. 3 slots and 2 holes. Handles are rounded over on the long sides with a chamfer on the inside of the forward facing slots. Again, a 100% match to the original handle. $50 per handle.

All wood is unfinished. Buyer can stain or clear finish as desired after purchase.

Get your order in today or help spread the word to someone you might know who may be interested.

I wrapped up a quick turnaround on the Silver B rehab this morning and am happy to report that this 3 burner is a tight little grill. I decided not to do any significant paint on this one to keep costs reasonably in check. The exterior of the cook box and frame are untouched and I hand scraped the interior cook box.
The list of goodies includes a new igniter, new OEM Weber casters, new 16ga heavy duty SS flavor bars, new 7mm solid rod SS grates, new SS burner tubes, new catch pan and grease trays, and a new OEM Weber thermometer. I also rehabbed the main wheels and added new Weber whitewalls.
The cherry on top of the project is the brand new and unused mica grey Weber lid and handle assembly. This is 100% new and is at least 20+ year old dead stock by now. It is the last of 2 that I was able to acquire so don’t drag your feet waiting for another if this one interests you.
It will hit the marketplace and garage sale sites a little later this morning at $450.

Mrs Weber Guy dropped a call out on me yesterday and it stung a little. Apparently, she has noticed how I fix up all of these super cool grills for everyone else while we cook on this mismatched Weber contraption. I guess that’s my sign to finally dig out and rehab the green lid glass door model for her once and for all.

A special shout out to Weber spotter John who messaged me that this beauty was sitting by the side of the road in Burnt Hills. To the best of my knowledge, I don’t know John. His message came through my personal account so he may or may not be a page follower. I guess we’ll just chalk up the connection to the power of social media. John’s photography skills might not be the best but the far away shot almost gives it a sense of sadness that I just had to react to so I ran down early this morning before work to pick it up and I am very glad I did. It’s a 3-burner Genesis Silver B from the mid to late 2000’s if I were to guess and it’s easy to tell that it has been well cared for throughout the years. I’ll give it all new internals, new casters, and a fairly decent clean up to put it back into service for years to come. Thanks again, John!

I picked up this older natural gasser today. The frame lower cross tubes and the cook box mounting cross bar are pretty well shot so it’s probably not a full rehab candidate. Regardless, there are still plenty of good parts that can be salvaged for future restorations. For me, the green lid and abundance of Durawood slats are a couple of the highlight pieces that make the trip worthwhile for this one.

Nothing but major washout vibes here for Memorial Day weekend and, since I prefer to work outside vs in the shop whenever possible, not much has been happening other than a little organizing and clean up.
Still, I managed to pull the “next man up” from the weeds. This will be another deep dive project as I’ve been asked to do a consignment build with shipping to Florida when complete.
This very unique request creates a whole host of new challenges for the build. Not only do I have to turn out a great project, I also have to do it with an eye towards disassembly and packaging for shipment along with detailed instructions for the buyer to put it back together upon arrival. I’m not sure if the time, effort, and expense of shipping will be budget-busters before all is said and done, but we’ll deal with that as the build evolves. I’ve intentionally kept my agreement with the buyer very casual by my own choice in case I need to abandon the idea of shipping and sell it locally instead.
As for the grill itself, it’s another classic Genesis. A 3-burner red head with a side burner. The buyer has requested wood tables all around so it will be outfitted with a cedar handle and slats just as it would have when new.
Pics show the grill in all of it’s current roached out glory. 3 different bee’s nests called it home when I opened the lid so the cold overcast day actually worked in my favor to keep them docile for extermination. The completed photos should offer a stunning contrast to what you see here.
Disassembly begins this week and I hope to have things dropped off at the sandblaster before the weekend. More to follow.
Happy Grilling!

The 3-burner silver with burgundy lid is complete! And what a beauty and testament to Weber quality and engineering it is! I finished the project up this evening with another pile of new OEM, NOS, and premium aftermarket parts.
The big ticket item here is the NOS OEM LP gas manifold. This is 100% brand new and, at nearly $200 on its’ own, accounts for almost 30% of the cost of the entire parts bill used on this grill.
Inside the cook box, I added a new set of stainless steel burners, a 13 piece stainless steel flavorizer bar set, and a set of super heavy duty solid rod 9mm stainless steel grates.
Underneath is an aftermarket drip tray and a new OEM Weber catch pan assembly.
On the control side of the grill, I used a reproduction rocker switch and a some new correct k***s for the grill. On the other side of the grill, I laid down a NOS Durawood side table.
It’ll hit the Marketplace sometime in the next day or so after I’ve totaled up all of the parts used in the build.
Happy Grilling!

Busy day here at the shop. Reassembly on the 3-burner silver lid 1000 took a big step forward with a series of small project gains. This lid came to me on a side burner model originally but the frame was too far gone from someone else’s efforts at a repair for me to salvage. Since I’m not a side burner fan anyways, it was a pretty easy decision to go another direction with it.
If you’re an originality purist, you might want to stop reading right here. I took a lot of liberties on this grill with all of them being personal preference choices.
Today, I started off by mounting on a new set of drip rails to the cook box. Since I am not using a swing up table on this grill, I also popped some new end caps into all four frame corners. From there, I mounted the cook box and then the lid. New stainless hardware and all new pins were used. I gave the lid end caps the SS fastener lid treatment along with a new OEM Weber badge and a new OEM Weber thermometer.
I then moved on to the install the new, old stock Grill Out Handle Light. I retrofitted it to bright white LED’s and used some battery adapter sleeves to move away from C cell batteries to a much more common AA configuration.
Next up, it was time to mount the igniter spark box and push button. You may notice a very thin washer shown with the push button. This was actually one of the hardest (and proudest) aftermarket items for me to ever source. These washers sit underneath the switch and on top of the frame assembly. This silly little washer makes all of the difference in the feel of the ignition switch on a finished project. It holds the push button up nice and proud and the best way I can describe the feel of a switch without this washer is like having a soft brake pedal in a car. Anyways, it’s one of the little things that I think makes a big difference.
I pulled out a new, modern OEM Weber tank scale and mounted that up next. This grill would have come with the old style pointer but I opted for a cleaner, more modern look on this grill. At the same time, I added some white pointer tips to the lower wire rack. This was never a Weber option but I have found that it avoids metal to metal contact between the rack and frame which helps discourage rust and actually makes it a bit quieter when rolling the grill around. Ironically, the white tips are the same tip that would have been used on the pointer style tank scale had I opted to use one of those.
Speaking of quiet rolling, I used some new Weber OEM casters and Broil King rubber wheels in favor of the plastic Weber whitewalls. I continue to be amazed at how well a grill rolls and how much quieter they are when doing so with the rubber wheels instead of plastic. But hey, I’ll include a pic of some NOS discontinued OEM 8” Weber wheels that I managed to pick up just to appease everyone.
I think that covers everything to date. I’ve tried to include photos to document everything I covered here. Here’s to hoping you all enjoy the content.
Happy Grilling!

As promised, I’m back with some “after” shots of the silver with burgundy stripe 3 burner. I apologize in advance for the photos taken in the shop. They look so much better outside in the sun but the forecast dictates otherwise at the moment. Regardless, you can see how well both the top and underside of the lid have cleaned up so nicely and look nearly brand new. Not too shabby for a 25+ year old grill, eh?
I’ve tossed in a couple of additional photos of the general work in progress in as well. As you can see, the frame has been fully painted along with the cook box and end caps. I turned it into a rolling chassis with the addition of new casters, new wheels, and a new custom 316 stainless steel axle while I await the arrival of additional parts.
This is going to be a pretty extensive restoration with a lot of new parts and an equivalent price point. I have a definite soft spot for this color combo though, so I won’t lose a lot of sleep if a don’t find the right buyer for it. I’d be more than willing to call it my own when done. More to come…
Happy grilling!

Here’s a couple of sneak peek photos for my next project. It will be a silver lid with maroon stripe 3-burner. This grill will get a little bit of a deeper dive than my most recent projects as I’ve already disassembled and rust treated the frame for full paint as part of the build.
I snapped these photos to intentionally show an ugly duckling lid in “before” condition prior to beginning the rehab process. It’s sitting upside-down on the saw horses so I can scrape the soot build up from the underside of the lid. More to follow on this one…including those oh so tasty “after” photos
