This grill has been a part of my life since I was a kid, this is the grill I learned to grill on at my family lake house. It now lives on my deck at my home. I converted her to natural gas, got a griddle insert, and have a ton of parts to keep her going for the next 30 years. She is a good grill.

Love the nostalgia in the look
Looks clean! Great job keeping it running and in good shape!
NG grills are awesome workhorses. They get the job done and you don’t have to worry about fuel management, ever. Just let ‘er rip!
I have a charcoal grill. It simply can’t die! 😅
Btw badass grill.
We had one of these on my porch for my entire childhood. My dad didn’t replace it until I was at least in college and I’m pretty sure he bought it before I was born. And it wasn’t broken when he replaced it, he just wanted something with more bells and whistles.
Bought a used one for cheap, replaced the grills and the burners and used it for years. Sold it to a coworker for what I paid and upgraded to a Genesis.
Love the look of these. I don’t know why, but I think it’s sweet how the knobs are horizontal on the side.
I have the 2 burner version, also from about 1990ish. The natural gas conversion is a good idea; it’s an absolute pain in the ass to get my propane tanks filled with that old fitting that Weber tried to make a thing.
They don’t make them like they used too…
I’m so happy to see this. I do not understand those that do not take care of their grill and set it to the curb.
As long as they make the parts don’t get rid of it. I had the same grill and got rid of it to upgrade to a newer one. Firebox on this model holds heat better and the flavorizer bars being two layers prevented most flare ups. If I find one on marketplace I’m gonna buy it again.
That looks just like the first Weber I owned.
my dad had the exact same grill growing up!
i didn’t end up with it, but it motivated me to get a 3 burner genesis when i moved into my house. going strong 14yrs later.
