I am thinking it would take 4. If that, the bargain isn't so great.

Yes, he does!

I am with Larry and admire the effort. I think even a little gray paint and maybe filler to cover the screws would go a long way. Better as is, than throwing away a $900 grill. Although this happens to some old Genesis grills, this does seem to underscore just how thin the newer fireboxes are.

Yeah, I am impressed and pulling for your idea to work👍!

I have a place in my heart for those Platinum 2nd generation Summits. Some weak points, but a real 304 stainless frame and cabinetry. The broken castings are what would give me the greatest concern. No way are you going to be able to fix that, I would think. I also doubt a new replacement can be...

The main grates do look very thin. Find for low and slow BBQ I suppose. A brief look at a long review suggests that the gas grilling aspect is a little underpowered. https://www.angrybbq.com/all-new-camp-chef-apex-series-quick-take-review/

Thanks, Jim!

Still waiting on the special handle:cry:

Looks pretty cool! I would like to know more.

Let me see what I have left, Jim!

That Camp Chef kind of got pushed to the back with the Ninja FlexFlame and Recteq's new high heat double-firepot pellet grill. I would like to look at some reviews of this Camp Chef - not that I have $1,250 to spare!

I have always wanted a crimson - not brick red - sidewinder.

Yeah, but more tempting...We just have to wait a couple more years before these start popping up used - at typically way lower prices. Other than the flimsy shelves, the 2800N+ is a definite improvement over the 2200 model. I would still like to know if they will fit in the older 200/2000 carts.

That’s a great candidate, Alex! Glad you are finding help here on TVWBB. You can clean and repaint the tank scale. If you need decals, I sell those very reasonably. My suggestion is you look at the resources here, especially the how to videos, for some great tips. https://tvwbb.com/tags/how-to/

Way to go, DanHoo! You are being generous and very helpful; it's what makes TVWBB a great place!
