Thanx Currently attempting similar on my 20 yr old Vermont Castings BBQ .. which i use ~2 x a week ..every... week of the year. Can't find a new BBQ of even.. similar.. quality. Regardless of Price. A bit depressing actually. So I'm fixing mine.. again !. Small Note: I've done this previously and I too used "flashing' Heavy gauge type. However It rusts out Badly and Early! ! Not a good choice for longer than a season 's use/life. SERIOUSLY recommend going to a metals shop and buyin ~20 gauge Stainless Steel sheet. Same work as when using Flashing ....yet SS lives .. Loong.
Great Video! I have a similar project on my built-in grill. The fire box has a few holes on the back wall and one side. I'm thinking about doing the same thing on mine, rather than to find someone to weld plates or other type of repairs. I'm wondering how the aluminum flashing has held up with all the heat and use after several months. Your answer is greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!
Sheet metal like that might be zinc coated and is super deadly to use for an appliance used for cooking. Anyone who's done this won't reply because they've died from poisoning themselves. Great video though. Very informative.
I totally agree, galvanized is very toxic, I used to be a welder and welded galvanized piping and I had to be very careful because the smoke off of galvanized medal is very dangerous.

This aluminum was free which is why I used it but stainless steel would be the best if you have it available at a reasonable price
This project was about a year ago and it's still holding up well....
@@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner Great! Thanks for the quick reply. I've ordered the 304 SS sheets and other parts.
@@DIYinspiredLewisBrantner Thanks again for your help here and for posting the video!
How about using baking or cookie sheets for the patches?
That is a great idea! I never thought of that...... thanks so much for sharing that suggestion!
How about the floor of the interior below the burners? Outs rusted out woukd like to repair/replace that.
@aprileverett4353 you could do the same as I did mine..... or fold over the edges to make the material stronger
Geez just call it a day and support the bbq community and but a new one already .

Good point to mention for those looking to rebuild their grill..... in my case, I didn't use sheeting that is zinc coating
Toxic
Great Refurbish and an idea for someone to makena treasure out of somebody's edge of the curb "trash"😎
@@gano22perez you are correct
@@gano22perez thanks for taking the time to share
Thanks I was ready to throw mine away and I will repair it..
I thought about doing that as well but thought I would try to repair it and it turned out successful! Sometimes it is fun to rebuild things.
Thanks for taking the time to comment
I find the cheap walmart ones are the worst for this
@@emeewel you may be correct..... there are a lot of cheap grills out there
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MAN! He’s using galvanized metal and that is highly toxic!
Not sure what you are seeing, this isn't galvanized metal.....

by the way, thanks for taking the time to comment, that is very helpful!
