Can you tell by the pictures what I would need to rehab this. He is selling the grill for free is it worth the hassle or should I just buy a more in shape one for $200. *Claims this has a new burner kit.

Hook up some propane and give it a go… if it works properly keep it! Clean it and get to grilling.

Any free Weber is worth a shot. Cut a piece of wood to cover the hole where the propane tank sits. The grates look to be in decent shape. You should be able to tell if the burners are new or not with a quick visual inspection. Do they look in decent shape? Discoloration doesn’t necessarily indicate old burners. If they are caked with grease they may not be as new as he says they are. Do the knobs work as they should? Does the ignitor still work? Does the propane regulator/hose look to be in decent shape? Do the casters still roll freely?

If it is free, just grab it and check it out. As long as the cart is sturdy enough to hold it up, it should be good. I wouldn’t sink a lot of money into a Spirit, though.

If it’s sturdy enough just place a paver stone or something in the hole and set the tank on it. You also probably do nothing and it’ll be fine. I assume you aren’t wheeling this thing around to much once it’s placed on patio or in your yard

Buy a new grill.
Why waste time on a “deal” when the deal causes you to spend days fixing it.

Damn propane must have blown up.

As long as there are no gas leaks it looks decent. You can drill holes into the bottom sides then fit sheet metal with brackets for the propane tank floor. Ideally you want to weld the sheet metal but this will cost more.

Put a piece of 3/4″ treated plywood in the bottom. Problem solved
