Don't throw away that Weber!!

I picked this 18.5 Weber One Touch Silver a couple months ago out of my neighbors trash for FREE.  It was in rough shape, grates were rusty, couple dents and scratches, but still an overall good grill.  I used it a few times and the vents finally gave up.  So I forked out around $30 for a new ash sweeper, ash catcher, hinged grate and charcoal grate.  Now I basically have a new grill that will last a long time.

Replacing the sweeper is straight forward, even if the wing nut snaps off like mine did.


Yeah, these have seen better days.

Drill out the old screw and the whol assembly pops out.



Pop in the new assembley, tighten the wing nut and that's all there is to it.



Add in new charcoal grate, cooking grate and ash pan and the grill is new again.
