Wouldn't Weber have noticed by the serial number that the base grill was LP, instead of NG?

The 2000-2001 Genesis Gold has three lid color choices, black, green, and burgundy. The Genesis Platinum had the SS lid as well as an enclosed card wth SS doors.

Nice! I like your green much better than the burgundy, that I have.

I feel the shun!

I didn't do as deep of a dive as I wanted to and rushed the painting process, but overall I ended up with a great working grill. As per LMichael's suggestion, I replaced a majority of the hardware with SS. I broke a few of the self threading nuts when taking appart the lid, but found replacemens...

The 2000-2001 Genesis used flavorizer bars that were 23 3/8" long, part number 9913. I've never tried the standard bars (22.5", 7537) or measured the inside of my grill to see if they fit.

I'm in the process of restoring a 2001 Genesis Gold C (the green/bottom one). For $55, that's a steal. As LMichaels said, it uses a Summit frame that us much heavier duty than the standard Genesis frame. For the most part, parts are readily available and this grill can use most of the standard...

Pics or it didn't happen!

I would not recommend painting the inside of the cook box, just coat it with oil, like you indicated. In case it hasn't been mentioned, do not paint the outside of the lid as well, except for the end caps. I'm still finishing a restoration of same grill, based on your description. One thing I...

Thanks Alejandro. I just wanted to make sure something wasn't wrong.

I've been cleaning up a 2000 Genesis Gold C. I reassembled the grill today and adjusted the burners to get an even blue flame. With all 3 burners on high, I can get a grate temperature 500F, from 70F, in 4 minutes as measured by my Maverick. The lid thermo reads about 50 degress less. Does...

Good info Tom. Pardon my ignorance, but is your Gold C lid doube wall? I've got an older Gold (00-01), with just a single wall lid.

The Broil King Signet has the larger wheels, but the lid does not move as nicely as the Baron. I do believe the Signet tables are foldable, as well.

I still believe the lid on the Genesis will be difficult/tiresome for them to open/close. If you haven't already, run to a Lowe's or HD. They typically have these grills on display. I found that the Broil King Baron had about the easiest lid to open and close, ]when compared to the Spirit and...
