Never too old: My 27-1/2yo Weber Genesis Silver B is getting some needed love today.

The Old: 5-ish year old porcelain coated steel flavorizer bars very well past their useful life.

The New: Stainless Steel replacements.

    Just a quick shave and a haircut! Keep that old dog running. 27.5 years is impressive.

    I was thinking of replacing mine until I read on the Weber site about waiting until they develop holes or cracks. It looks like you took their advise and got your money’s worth out of those.

    Such a good feeling, yeah? Makes me want to go grill something. Anything.

    Wow! That is just about the longest time period for a working grill I have ever heard of. Nice work

    Have some information on the reliability of similarly eroded gas rails and various gas rail attachment pieces?

    That’s what gets me, I’ve done this same routine in the photos many times on many grills.

    But I get worried about the reliability and safety profiles of the gas rails, their attachments, the regulator, etc.

    So I end up jumping back in for another disposable grill. Nice and clean, fresh lava stone, reliable even distributed fuel without the same safety concerns, etc.

    There is something satisfying by keeping old equipment running! I have a bunch of spare parts for my many of my possessions in case they stop making them.
