Thanks for your help.

If you have a hole in your grill, buy a new grill. If you are really
stubborn, get a small section of sheet metal and some sheet metal screws and
hack up a patch.

Or you could just leave it alone and call it a vent.

Get your angle grinder out & grind off the rust- back to where the
metal isn't rusted. At this point you'll likely have a large ring of
clean steel. Throw it out-- along with the rest of your old grill &
go buy a new one.

For about $100 you can get a Char-griller from Lowes. Mine is 6
years old & I just ordered a new warming rack and charcoal rack for
mine. They were $60 with shipping- but my cast iron grates and the
barrel are still like new- so it was worth it to me to keep the
seasoned grates and cake of flavor that is on the inside of my barrel.

Nobody else said it, so I will- how old is the grill? You said 'dome',
so I am assuming this is the classic charcoal model. According to the
website ( http://www.weber.com/help//warranties.aspx ), there is a 10
year warranty against rust/burn-through. Is there still a data plate on
yours? Before you start sanding, it may be worth taking some digital
pics of data plate and the hole, and asking them. Sometimes,
manufacturers even go beyond the warranty period as a goodwill gesture,
since so few people ever collect- they just chuck it and buy a new one.

I have a scratch on one of the rims on my truck. According to these jokers
I need to replace the axle. I don't know if these people are willfully
ignorant,
purposefully misleading, or just plain assholes. There seems to be a great
number of individuals who fall into each of the above categories with the
main theme in this group being to not give a direct, succinct answer, and to
go off on a tangent about possibilities that are generally irrelevant to the
question at hand.

If your torch is a mixing torch, and you have the Oxygen and Mapp gas to
go with it, all you need is a steel brazing rod and a metal plate to braze
into place.

High-temp, glossy, brake-caliper paint might hold up to the temperature.
It is supposedly good up to 900 F. I can't vouch for it at all, and can't give
a recommendation, but this could be a learning experience and you could
get back to us with this, eh?

Of course, I am presuming that you know how to braze and such. If not, this
could be a little project to learn on. :)

An option is to take the lid to a local weld shop and have them Mig a patch
piece onto it. This might cost ten bucks, or a six pack.

Am I right in thinking that the grill is mostly functional but needs a bit of
maintenance,
and rather than spend $90+ on a new Weber you are trying to fix the trusty ol'
friend?

I'm all for repairing things when feasible but one has to wonder it the lid

I don't know if I'm the idiot, you're referring to-- but let me
clarify *my* opinion. If a 1/2 in hole bothers the OP-- he can
spend several hours repairing to get maybe one more season out of his
grill.

Or he can buy a new one for under $100. [or a lightly used one on
craigslist for 1/2 of that]

If *my* grill had a 1/2" hole- I'd live with it until I replaced the
grill. I doubt anyone who is bothered by one can make it look good
without spending more time than it is worth.

I rebuilt my now 30 year old gas grill a few years ago. Ground off the
bolts holding it together, put the cast alunimum parts in my gas self
cleaning oven, they came out looking brand new.

Replaced wood shelves with steel, repainted and reassembled. Had some
rusty steel areas welded.

New burner, new regulator and hose. Finding a replacement burner
required a stop at a speciality grill store.

It was a BIG job, but well worth it since it was my moms grill. We had
lots of nice meals on that before she died.

It would of been far easier and cheaper to buy a new grill, but this
project wet far beyond $$$

setiment has value too:)

The number of signs is not always a reliable indicator, especially if
one or more people in the chain use Google or other non-standard posting
programs. (I learned about Google the hard way- I have to use Google
Groups when visiting relatives, since none of them are into Usenet, and
it is bad manners to reconfig somebody else's computer.) Plus, of
course, if anyone upthread has done snips without flagging them, it gets
more confusing. If you snip somebody's entire post out of a thread, yes,
you should also delete their name, IMHO. I usually try to swim upthread
and find a post that contains the fewest authors as possible, as close
to the part I am replying to as possible. If it is a long involved
thread and I am replying to multiple people, I may post a flag at the
top, and reply in-line, marking my words with something other than a .
But some people get all hissy at that, so I have been doing it less and
less, and posting multiple seperate replies instead.

I TRY to be careful about attributions and clipping, but even I screw up
once in a while, and I have been online over twenty years now.

won't get loaned out, or live in a damp toolbox in the garage.


I ended up with a lot of my dads tools. It is special to be using them
while thinking of Dad. Although Dad wasn't always the happiest guy, in
fact when he was around most of us scrambled for safety! But when it
came time for him to do repairs, I was always there right next to him.
What ever he did I wanted to learn, I was just telling my mom a story
about a day fixing some plumbing, the torch was starting the wood on
fire so he told me to get a piece of metal to block the flame. I asked
How about an old Lisence plate? Yes, hurry up!! Oh you should have
heard him bitching when he discovered that back in the late 60's or
early 70's the changed to aluminum plates and he melted a hole through
it in no time! A little scary then, now I laugh about it. Hey, dad was
dad.

Just a few days ago I found an old tape measure of his. Trying to
remember the name, something like "Hankle and Mcoy" Like most of them
it was small, all metal of course. "Add two inches", it was about 2
inches square and 5/8 wide. No hold/lock button. I also have his 50'
also. Simple things like a carpenters square, with drips of paint, rust
here and there. I scraped off the paint and put some muriatic acid on
it and lightly brushed both side. Hosed it off and it looked almost
new. Gave it 2 coats of car wax and hung it on the wall.

Sure you can buy sheet metal, but how are you going to shape it into
the exact bowl like shape? And then you'd have to cut off the legs,
have them welded back on, drill all the appropriate holes, openings,
etc. Even if one had the equipment on hand to do all that, it's not
even close to worth it. Time for a new grill.

Usually cheaper and more cost effective to buy a new grill. My old gas
grill had a good aluminum box but rest was iron. Remember spending $75
for new grates, burner and heat deflector to have legs rusting off a
year later. New grill which also has aluminum box with 2 burners was
only about $120.

At this time of year, every retailer and his brother has grills on
clearance. Bet you can buy a new one cheaper than you can patch up the
old one which will only last a year of two at best.

People give those away all the time on freecycle and craigslist. Just
find a replacement.
