Restoring an old Weber Grill - Uncleaned for 10 years
This was a little side project that I have been working on! I found this behind the office that I work at and I had been told that someone left it here many years ago and it had gone uncleaned for a decade! This thing has sat through many North Dakota winters enduring negative 30 plus and many ice and snow storms. I decided to clean it up which turned into a little project! I hope you enjoy this transformation video!

What I like about this is he shows his mistakes and it helps me not make those mistakes! Looks really good man! Thank you!
We have a hideous in ground one that is like 15 years old, we haven’t used it but it’s an eyesore. I’m so going to restore it now !! Thanks for this video!!

Go for it! No prob.
Thats a New Braunfels smoker. Work pretty good with a few easy mods. I've been using mine since 1995.
Awesome job! Inspires me to get at some projects I've been procrastinating on.
An angle grinder with a steel brush works wonders on rust and scale. I used it daily to clean rust off rims for tire repairs.

No need to remove that much. Just vacuum, power wash and coat with Canola oil will maintain better heat insulation and maintaining of proper temperature. This is a weekend project not months. The spray paint is not necessary

I’m pretty sure it’s a CharBroil with a Weber thermometer. Nice job.
Did you spray that rustoleum inside the grill???
Elbow grease and/or power tools are your friends for this type of project. Degrease before you paint.
I have those gloves too lol
Well done but you should have also seasoned the grill to prevent future rust

This is not a food grade paint and is highly toxic. Do not ever paint the inside of a smoker or grill or BBQ. Grind, clean and season with canola or avocado oil.

It's a Char Broil Chinese smoker that is same design as New Braunfels. Char Broil bough New Braunfels several years ago 😂
Why did you spray the inside of the barrel?
Does anyone know the specific model for this grill??? I’m trying to find this Weber online. Hope someone can help out.

The thermometer is the only thing that is a Weber part. Someone added it. The factory thermometer must have broke over the years and this was the replacement or it never had a factory one. If it was a factory hole it would be centered.
