my 85'

good point....i updated info. yes! only 7mm grates...they look a bit beefier in person....I know NOT as beefy as Dave's 3/8" MONSTERS!! I actually have a set of those on my 86' Gen 1 Brown..

my bad! you're right.....7mm

Well.....this is my 1st time acquiring a coveted GENESIS 5000 LP w/ rare Muave color hood. Per date stamps, hood 93' and cook box 90' I'm lead to believe that this grill is a 90' GEN 5 frame with a replacement (maybe a warranty issue) 93' hood. Either way, I'm humbled to as gotten it for FREE...

the lid # will be on inside bottom left or right in a circle..same for cook box on ft. underneath bottom

what are date codes on inside hood and bottom of cook box?

what do you mean by the "triangle"?

Fellow Kettle heads! Just picked up this beauty!! Vintage....1978 (correct me if you think not?) 22" Weber Kettle. Based on the lid vent stampings, wheels, and larger bottom kettle vents, is how I date stamped 78'. If I got this year wrong...let me know!! I'll be putting in new grates...

I agree w/ Jon....YES!! $80 a bit high...BUT if all original parts are there (I've paid as much as $100 for 85-87' GEN.s) then...all good!! Vintage parts NO longer avail. OR to much of a pain to fabricate...its worth paying a bit more for....plus...any rusted frame support rods you can just...

>> VINTAGE!!!! original 19" side swing table WITH--RARE--circular table support arm!!!!!!!! KEEP THAT IN PERSONAL COLL. FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!

FANTASTIC!! I'll be in the N. woods of WI for 2wks end of Sept. I may swing by!!!!!
