I've got a bunch of old thermometers for my Genesis 2000, but curious if there's a more reliable/accurate one available. I can also just buy a new weber one for $10, but something tells me it won't be much better. Or maybe who cares, just continue gauging by feel which I've always done.

For two hours of driving and $75 I can live without it! The condition really isn’t bad.

Answering my own question - genesis 2. https://tvwbb.com/docs/1990-weber-genesis-brochure.pdf Searching to see if parts interchangeable with genesis 2000.

Not mine! Looks to me like a decent condition Genesis 1 NG for sale. I don’t see many of these so if you need parts maybe a good opportunity? https://www.facebook.com/share/nMgtyZxPqazetPJh/

Correct! Thank you. Next time I’ll use a wire wheel, would be faster.

And now the igniter works! But despite my cleaning flames are at least partially orange. Advice? Edit: speaking of obstruction the last few holes on that burner are not lighting! Weird, the holes are open.

The burner tube closest to the igniter had several blocked holes, but not near the igniter. Now clear. Photo of holes before cleaning and of igniter test. (Screencap as I couldn’t attach video) Will test once it’s back together.

It’s in my shed in Toronto. Free if you make the trip!

No, replaced the whole thing. With new parts. When I just did clean up I replaced with working one from a different (same gen) bbq

I’ve cleaned the holes, and the igniter sparks. Lights fine with a lighter.

Igniter sparks but doesn’t light the gas. What could be wrong? Have tried with several.

When I did this 5 years ago I’d never used a table saw. Now I work in the field. What a difference. Ripping and chopping slats in 10 minutes instead of hours and hours and hours. Attaching in 5 minutes instead of doing math to figure out the spacing. OMG.
