I think I would do any of the options given instead of "the rock"

It is also interesting that this Genesis 4 came with the glass door bushings already in the front frame. It's as if Weber did this to allow the purchaser to upgrade to the glass doors after purchase. Does anyone know it they sold the glass doors separately?

I am currently in the final stages of restoring a Genesis 5. I think that there are three choices when it comes to dealing with the Flame check. 1. Disable it as Joe describes in his post, keeping the original look of the grill, but with no real function of the button, it is essentially a...
