What made me find this site was searching for a Q to replace my ailing Genesis to use as a quick meal maker when I dont feel like messing with charcoal on my Gold. Also, steak. I like burgers, chicken, pork, most everything on the Gold, but when I do steaks, I like to taste the steak not the charcoal. I loved how my Genesis could make a perfect medium ribeye with just enough char in 6 minutes. I had it down to a science. Then...the wheels started coming off. Actually the wheels are about the only thing that still work.
It is an older red Genesis (I believe a 1000) that has served me well and I was ready to put it out to pasture when I found this site and started thinking otherwise...So, should I?
Now it wont even light. Nada, nothing. Not with the ignitor, not with a match. I broke the ignitor button in the proccess and the drip pan fell off when I was messing with it as an explanation point. It has needed new flavorizer bars and grates for a while, so add that to the list. Might as well get the warming rack and hanging basket cause I dont even know where mine are...The burners themselves are stainless and seem fine. Not sure what other hidden things might need replacing under there.
I guess the first question is why would it just not light all of a sudden? Bad regulator? The tank works well on other things so its not that. Then what is the rest of this gonna cost and is it worth it? I would think so compared to getting some generic Walmart grill. Also is there some "how to" posts about disassembling and painting, rebuilding, ect? If its gonna perform like new it needs to look like new right?
