I am so glad to hear that, Larry! Says a lot about Ninja as a company. I enjoy using my smaller unit, but I am sure not nearly as often as you use yours. So far, I have not had any issues with mine. Besides doing a nice job of adding smoke flavor to simple grilling, it gets called on to do duty...

Thanks so much, Josh! While I think my wife could be a little more supportive, some of my stupid acquisitions have given her plenty of reason to complain. Once, when back in Florida, I had the opportunity to move my unfinished grills from our small backyard on the crowded not-for-profit...

I have not done a good job of keeping things in check. It can definitely become a fever. I never faced the reality of the time commitment my multiple jobs require and the resentment my wife has of what little time I try to find to work on my grills. So, I am perilously close to the situation you...

I love it, but there is a slowly shrinking market for these classic Webers. That’s not to say that it couldn’t be flipped. It certainly would be a great starting point for a keeper that has a unique style.

Here is another blue one in Louisville, KY that doesn't look quite as nice but has the side burner and only asking $50. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1235565271216274?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A09541dd6-89fb-47b4-8b18-c167a57031bd

Gold in Indy for 20 bucks! Here's a good deal. Looks mostly dirty. I suspect, however, that given there is no scale that this is a half-baked conversion job from NG to LP...

You beat me, Josh!

Looking through our collection of brochures and catalogs, from 1986-1988, there are only Genesis I,II, and III grills (along with the XX and XXI as the Jr. was known then). The IV and V seem to make their first appearance in 1989, by which time wide slats were no longer being used. So, I would...

I don't think the glass cabinet ones started until around 1990. That one certainly has an interesting assortment of Weber parts. Some clearly taken from an '87-'88 Genesis.

I still think they are sweet grills. Not as robust as the first gen, but the stainless construction and infrared burner helps make up for that.

If you are really only going to part it out, maybe we can talk about shipping the firebox front so I can see about making stainless reinforcements for it like I did for 1st gen Summits. PM me when you have time.

Unbelievable...I like those very much as well. How can it be FREE?!!!! At least I have owned and cooked on one quite a bit. Still wishing for a 2nd gen Summit. @Josh Dekubber it is great to see you giving that 2nd gen Summit you picked up a fair chance. You got the nice one with all the bells...

Glad that it is getting closer!

Wow, what a deal...Kind of the best of both worlds with the wood shelving but a stainless cart. Josh, I know if that one was in range you would make those shelves and handle look stunning! Then get my artist friend in Florida to put the logo on the handle.

All in the eyes of the beholder I guess. I personally really like those 2nd gen Platinum Summits. A lot like a SS Platinum on steroids. Best aspect is that not only is the frame 304 stainless but so is all the cabinetry. I sure wish that was true of modern day Summits.
