Just rehabbed my 1999 Weber kettle! Ordered cherrywood handles from Amazon, looks amazing!

I'm in the process of restoring a 2009 One-Touch Deluxe. So far, so good!

I just scored a copper Weber grill new version that costs $250 in the store for $75. I washed it up and it literally looks like a brand new grill

Thanks for the video. How did you fix the rusted nut on the top vent? did you replace? OR What? Thank you

serious question , does anyone have any information on how to remove rust from a weber , then what is the best way to go about spot painting that chipped rusted area on the weber , a lot of the older kettles that one comes across have rust spots on them , im not looking at making the enamel look new again , i just want to make sure that the rust does not get worse or starts working under the enamel , thank you for your time .

Thank you

Also, I passed up on a free 1988 red head. I should have grabbed it. The paint was in better shape than yours, so now I feel dumb for passing up on it. :(
