    5 vs 13 flavorizer bars?

    Hey all, Since this doesn't directly relate to my other thread (help with/about a grill rebuild I'm doing), and can't seem to find the answers I seek through searching, I figured I'd post a separate thread about this. I noticed that the grill I am fixing up (Genesis B) uses the 5 flavorizer...

    Scored a Genesis Silver B! Some questions about part-swapping

    So, yet more questions arise, lol. I saw in MarkSiebel's thread that he made Z brackets by joining two pieces of angle together. Assuming I use steel, should the sides being glued together still be hit with high temp paint? Or will liquid nails act as a sealer/protective coating? Also, just a...

    Genesis 1000 - What to look for?

    It's hard to say whether or not it's a good deal without some good, detailed photos. Like Alan said, you want to see what kind of condition the grates, flavorizer bars, etc. are in. The old Genesis grills are great, but one that old may need/benefit from a restore.

    Scored a Genesis Silver B! Some questions about part-swapping

    Thanks again folks! So, I do have yet some more questions, as I'm getting to the refinishing/making new slat table work. I noticed that the factory slat tables use an "S-angle" type bracket (So that it's basically angle iron, plus an extra side for the slats to rest on). Are these brackets...

    Scored a Genesis Silver B! Some questions about part-swapping

    Back with a minor update FINALLY got the rest of the trim piece out of rhe tubing - took a bit of "negotiating" with a spade drill bit. As far as I can tell, it was just somehow amazingly well wedged in there (no signs of glue/JB weld, etc). I had a couple more quick questions though. When my...

    Scored a Genesis Silver B! Some questions about part-swapping

    It's only about 4-5" deep. Thought about trimming/shredding the piece up some more, but enough material has already been moved that if there wasn't something bonding it to the metal, the piece would easily come out. I heard Jasco can help remove JB weld/extra strong glues, so I might have to...

    Scored a Genesis Silver B! Some questions about part-swapping

    Back with..well..minimal updates! :p The good news? A little bit of work with a wire brush drill attachment did a good job of removing some of the extra grease stains/ash from the cookbox (It's far from pretty inside, but it's clean and ready to go at least!). The outside of the box is ready...

    Scored a Genesis Silver B! Some questions about part-swapping

    Back with updates! So I did get the last burner tube out - it was indeed being held down by random crud, which may be the cause of my newest issue (more on that later). Upon closer examination, one of the burner tubes has a small hole in it (where there shouldn't be one), and they are...

    Scored a Genesis Silver B! Some questions about part-swapping

    That's just it though - they DID torque the bolt down, unfortunately...the burner isn't coming out until I can loosen it. I was hoping to avoid PB blaster/WD-40 because it's inside of the cookbox (to avoid residue getting into food), but I guess if I have no choice... Any chance you can tell me...

    Scored a Genesis Silver B! Some questions about part-swapping

    Yeah, I was under the impression that those guide screws were not to be adjusted. Unfortunately, someone else thought it would be a good idea to do so at some point. It looks like it should be a #2 flathead to loosen it a bit so I can remove the last burner (right now, it's tightened firmly in...

    Scored a Genesis Silver B! Some questions about part-swapping

    Chris Kug - While I don't have the tools to cut the wood slats myself, there are hardware/lumber stores near me where I could probably cut stuff down/have it cut down. I'm just curious what the proper dimensions are, as I don't have a set of dura-wood tables for reference (And I'd rather use...

    Scored a Genesis Silver B! Some questions about part-swapping

    Hey all, Newbie here. I picked up an early 2000's Genesis Silver B model grill yesterday. New(er) grates and flavor bars, and fires right up - just needs a good cleaning, and I'll be set! :) As I have the grill partially disassembled for transport/cleaning, I was thinking of swapping out the...
