Now that I think about it, he was surprised because I had the grill disassembled. It took up a very small space compared to the space he cleared out. I also remember that he made a point to show me the Genesis grill he had. It was in nice shape, and he was understandably proud of it! Gerry

Hey Larry, Your dad made it to 98. That's a great run. He had a full life. I lost my dad at 79. Wish he was still around. (Although I might not listen to some of his advice...) One of his sayings that he told us when we were young and just starting out was (In a heavy German accent); "It's...

These are the flashlights that I use the most. There are a bunch of others in various drawers… Gerry

I know that whatever happens has to be something that makes money for the company. I personally have a couple of early Genesis grills that I have fixed up so that they will last forever by welding up stainless steel frames for them, so it's unlikely that they will get any more money out of me...

Might be worth it for the outdoorsy custom wood handle though.

I see that Aldi is test marketing fresh coyote in Chicago. I wonder if they have a rotisserie attachment for their bbq grate so as to do a whole coyote… Gerry

I would hoist a Billy Beer to his memory... Cheers! Gerry

I think you need more coffee. His grill is LP…

I don’t know when that side basket started. Mine had it and it was called a condiment basket. Gerry

The wider whitewalls were used until the late ‘80s or early’90’s. I had that same Genesis 1 purchased in ‘92 and it had the narrow whitewalls Gerry

Well, it seems to me that you implied I was being disrespectful I wasn't. I was poking fun. I get that both of us have a bit of respect for Larry. Gerry

Well, Larry passing gas with the best of us? My wife would vehemently disagree. I have read about Larry's affinity to electric vehicles. Fine. I think my original question was asking why he wasn't considering natural gas. I guess you feel like you can answer for Larry... Gerry

WOW! I have plenty of respect for the guy. Don't know why you thought otherwise. Gerry Edit: When are you headed to Milwaukee? Edit again: Why would I or anyone care if your brother is like Gretzky? Should I prepare for his arrival?

Maybe you and I can help him size up the gas piping to his garage. I'm thinking a 1/2" line to the garage will work. What do you think? Edit: Might have to go to 3/4" for his turkey fryer. (I seem to remember he loves turkey, but I may be wrong :) ) Gerry

Well, how good is that whiskey? I would think that a great whiskey needs less cooling than an anything below in quality. Kind of like beer. The lower quality it is the colder it needs to be to be palatable. Gerry

If you are referring to my post, yeah, it's a small poke. I know he knows a little about natural gas. :) Just wondering why he chose electric. Gerry

Since you have everything ready to go electric, I got nothing. But why not gas? Oh wait, I guess you have no experience in that field... :) Gerry

Thanks for taking the time to look. Gerry

Thanks for that. I have always thought that my mom's cost for the '87 was around $600. That would have been very expensive back then compared to the other gas grills of the time. I'm guessing that the price for a '87 would have been lower than your $600 receipt. edit: On closer inspection of...

From what I remember, the gas grills before the Genesis were using lava rocks which collected grease and had flare up problems. Weber went to flavorizer bars instead and that was a great improvement. Weber also went above and beyond in the construction. I believe the frames were powder...
