Grill Quick Restoration

Instead of a full restoration this is a quick clean up to restore functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Old busted grill.

Take photos while disassembling.

I used a cutting disc on an angle grinder to remove the grill base.

Remove the rust from the grill top with a wire brush and an angle grinder cup brush.

Remove the old grease catch and replace with steal sheet metal.

Wash, sand and paint the legs.

Remove rust with rust remover and a wire brush. Sand smooth and coat with high heat grill paint. I didn't paint the inside of the grill hood.

The bolts on the burner base had broken off. I drilled out the bolt and tapped the hole. I then cold welded in new bolts.

Soak the hardware in vinegar and brush clean.

Reattach all the hardware and replace bolts where necessary.

I cut the welds on old rusted grill grates and mounted new expanded sheet metal.

Create a base for the grill and propane tank to sit on.

Paint the base.

Fully assemble.

Turn on the burners and heat up the grill for a half hour to burn off any volatiles. Season the inside of the grill.

Because there are 60,000 btu burners the top grill can be removed. The burners can be used for stir frying with a wok or cooking in a stock pot.
