I would be tempted to leave it as is for a bit. Next time you use it, get it nice and hot and scrape off as much of the goo as you can with carefully use of a putty knife. Then maybe while it’s really hot, pour some water on it as if you were cleaning a griddle and see what happens. If that’s...

Well, let's see. The casting is junk, so if one were to drill a couple of holes... Then one could run a tap, say perhaps a 10-24 thread through both pieces. One could then obtain a couple of 10-24 x 2-1/2" screws (stainless, of course) and screw the pieces together with some JB Weld in the...

It looks like flavorizer bars would be about $360. No wonder the grill was out at the end of the driveway!

I wheeled this grill from two houses down yesterday. I can't find a serial number and I don't know much about these newer grills. I see it's a Summit Platinum from the badge on the lid. What years did they make these grills? I understand that these are rust buckets and replacement fireboxes...

Larry, You saw that I dragged home that Summit Platinum and it has both lid hinge mounts broken. I was wondering, do you think the side castings from a four burner are the same as on the six burner? Gerry

I’m in Lake Villa Illinois

Both sides of the casting are broken and the flavorizer bars seem to be in rough shape. The frame, doors and sides are in good shape. I think the lid is good too. I will take a better look at it tomorrow Gerry

Sounds good!

Ipe is great wood for that purpose. Looks great with a coat of teak oil or just let them grey. They will never rot!

My grills already have good grates from RCPlanebuyer, but I didn’t have one of the half sized grates. Now I have enough grates to last two lifetimes and more.

I certainly don’t need another grill. This one has some good parts on it. I might keep the grates if they fit a Genesis 1-5 but I was hoping someone on here might want to take the rest of it off my hands.

The grates are dirty but solid.

Unfortunately, the lid hinges are broken off on both sides This was under the cover.

Well, two doors down from me was this out by the curb

Now that I think about it, he was surprised because I had the grill disassembled. It took up a very small space compared to the space he cleared out. I also remember that he made a point to show me the Genesis grill he had. It was in nice shape, and he was understandably proud of it! Gerry
