Genesis 2 Restoration by EdW

Here’s a beautiful restoration of a Weber Genesis 2 by EdW from Silver Spring, MD. He’s documented the process in a series of posts on The Virtual Weber Bulletin Board.

The restoration included a complete disassembly of the grill, repair of the rusted frame, replacements of many internal parts, repainting of the frame/firebox/lid end caps, and some beautiful new woodwork on the work surfaces.

EdW utilized much of the information found on this blog and in the Weber Gas Grills forum at The Virtual Weber Bulletin Board to complete his restoration, including how to restore the Weber emblem and how to clean the porcelain coated lid.
