Looks like a pretty nice option if you wanted to give one of those type a try. NOT for a flip. I would bet it would be an easy fix to get this one going.

One other thing: While I do think the earlier, squarer hoods look "better" in some respects (and don't like the oversized aluminum bezel on the center-mounted thermometer), the curved-out handle that goes with this hood is really a better idea. Fewer burned knuckles!

That is a really great looking grill. It has all come together very nicely! I agree that the stainless front panel was the perfect tie in.

Don't get me wrong, I will always first be a fan of the Genesis 1-5 and x000 grills. However, this particular late Silver with the black trim, pinstripe and dual flip up tables earns a special "Honorable Mention" in my list. One was my daily driver for several years. It keeps the classic Weber...

That's one really nice grill there, Steve! Looks great (y)

That chrome-like finish is just raw steel polished with Mothers?!!!:love:

That one is a bit of a project, but that will make it all the more fun to see what you do with it! :coolkettle:

Josh, I have use Mothers on aluminum parts but never thought to try it on stainless. Now we know how you get that electrifying shine!

I don't guess I really knew this specifically, but I have USUALLY done a burn off that should accomplish this goal. I am glad you pointed this out for this paint that a lot of us use. It does make sense. When I have tried to get by with 600-degree paint on some of my Weber Q grills (because I...

My daily driver SS Platinum from years ago endured a small Chernobyl event in the hands of the prior owner. I can't say if there is some reason in common for the warping and meltdowns you and others have seen. I did a quick check and found that unlike in the earlier Platinum models, the SS...

Cool info there, Dave!

I agree that it is not a Jr. Spirit 500 sounds right.

I meant the SmokFire, but I actually have a beat up Holland that needs to be converted to LP so that I can give it a try. Never cooked on one.

I always wanted to try one of those. For 100 bucks, I would be tempted, but I have also seen some in much better condition for $250 - $300.

The Holland Grill essentially does overall indirect cooking not altogether unlike most pellet grills that have a heat shield. I think it would shine doing barbecue chicken.
