Grease-Caked Firebox Rebuild

Grill
Weber Genesis, 3-burner gas grill
Approximate age
Approximately 8 years old
Condition before
Heavy carbon and grease buildup on the grates, corroded flavorizer bars and a firebox full of debris.
Work performed
  • Full disassembly
  • Firebox and cookbox degreased
  • Grates stripped and reseasoned
  • Burner tubes cleaned and flame pattern tested
Parts replaced
Stainless flavorizer bars, Igniter kit
Time on the bench
About a day on the bench
Final result
Even flame across all burners and a cookbox that looks close to new inside.
Was it worth restoring?
Yes. The cookbox and frame were solid, so a set of bars and an igniter kit brought a grill that still sells for real money back to full performance.
After restoration: polished stainless steel gas grill on a clean patio looking like new
Before cleaning: neglected black gas grill on a patio covered in grease drips, dust and surface rust

Neglected Patio Grill Revival

Grill
Quality gas grill, stainless and painted steel cart
Approximate age
Approximately 10 years old
Condition before
Oxidized exterior, grease running down the control panel, surface rust on the cart and side shelves.
Work performed
  • Exterior degreased and polished
  • Surface rust removed where practical
  • Stainless steel restored
  • Control panel and knobs detailed
  • Reassembled and function tested
Parts replaced
Control knobs, Grease catch pan
Time on the bench
About a half day on the bench
Final result
A grill the owner was ready to throw away, back on the patio looking presentable again.
Was it worth restoring?
Yes. The burners and ignition still tested fine, so this one only needed labor and two inexpensive parts instead of a replacement grill.
