If you have a BLUE hood for a Genesis 5000, I'm willing to negotiate pricing AND shipping on it. What an impressive display and inventory of truly impossible items to find.

Man oh man..... I'm temped to ask you what you would take for the blue lid. My 5000 would truly be complete. But the freight to South Carolina would probably = the price of a new grill..... Very nice work on the black/cedar combo. Looks very much like the one my dad had when we were growing up.

Been Googling feverishly since I started the post and came up with this guy in Williamsville, NY: https://shop.edyoungs.com/products/slide-lock-for-genesis-table-22422.html It's part number 4886971. Hope that helps the next guy. I ordered 3 (so I'll have a fresh set after replacing the...

Hey everyone. Been a bit since I've posted, but lurk every day. My Genesis 5000 that Joe A. refurbed and I purchased about 4 years ago ran into its first snag: the clip that slides back/forth to support the bar that supports the flip up table on the right side of the grill broke. My guess...

Here's one I've never seen before. Be interested to hear what the experts here say: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1584611075411990/?ref=browse_tab&referral_code=marketplace_top_picks&referral_story_type=top_picks

Not a gasser, but seems people are looking for these. About 10 minutes from my house.... 22" Platypus

I'd pay for a stainless option on my 5000. Of course, I'm in the group that will be keeping my grill, not flipping it. That makes a considerable difference.

I'm really not sure. I use the grill a couple times per month (usually on the gasser). Generally, I have the charcoal centered for high heat. The only thing that I do that may have accelerated the problem is using the pizza kettle and routinely getting that over 1000 degrees (verified with 3...

No, it's part of the spider grill system. Fit's perfectly and does a great job of controlling temps.

Was out cooking steaks on my Performer last night when one of the grate supports fell into the fire. Didn't burn the steaks, but did put me on fire (figuratively, of course) for a bit. I purchased the grill in 2012 and finally got around to registering it in 2017. Fast forward to this...

From what I've read here about these Summits, your luck is beyond fantastic - it is Powerball ticket buying worthy good. Looking forward to watching these builds progress. Way more grill than I'll ever need, but great to see people that know how to do stuff - do it.

I've always wanted to replace the hood on my 5000 since I bought it to the blue version. I currently have the mauve (?) version and, while it's ok, it is certainly not UK blue. Wish those finds would happen in SC. Glad you saved it from the heap. If it wasn't so expensive and undependable to...

This EXACTLY the post that I referenced earlier. Thank you for this as the timing was impeccable.

I was thinking the same. On the 5000, the drip pan is actually mounted to the tray and suspends downward. The 3xx tray doesn't have that attachment, but nothing a wire clothes-hanger couldn't fix. Or I can find the drip pan cheap virtually anywhere if I need to pretty it up - mine is a...

Directly from Weber. Called them Thursday after I noticed a small rust spot on mine. Saw the post here that someone mentioned and ordered immediately so as not to get "backordered." I just need to figure out how to move the grease catch pan as it mounts differently (I'm sure you're already...
