Perfect. To continue Ralph's experimentation, I ordered a can of VHT Flameproof Flat Aluminum from Advance Auto. After a speed perks coupon, it was only $5.99 delivered to my door. Since I just got a new lid, I don't need to paint the end caps--only the firebox. If it doesn't work out, I can...

Actually, it was the other way around -- and the front one came out after a soak with PB Blaster. The firebox bolts on my S-320 are another story. They'll need to be cut / drilled out.

Since my initial post, I replaced the cut natural gas line on the E-310 and resurrected one of my old igniters. I tested the burners and found only the center burner was not working. Today I broke it down to prepare the frame for transplant. Not too much drama--I was even able to get one of...

That's correct for wheels mounted on axles, but not so much for casters.

Roger that

Ha! :ROFLMAO: Not this time. Pretty sure I'm going to keep this as vanilla as possible.

After finishing up the Genesis Junior, I spent a good amount of time browsing ads to find The Next Project. Instead, The Next Project was right under my nose the whole time. It's time to pay some long-overdue attention to my S-320 Natural Gasser. I bought it new in March 2008 as a belated...

I'd suggest finding a cheap used 18.5 kettle. If you're feeling adventurous, you can cut down the legs so that they fit inside the kettle. Here's the one I use at my cabin. I added the lid bale from a 1st-generation Outrider to make it even easier to move around.

I'm a righty, but I modified my SSP to be a lefty because that's how it fits in my cookspace. No reason why you can't just cook from the other side.

And it's sold. :(

Asking price is $75, but the ad has been up for a while. I reached out to the seller but haven't heard back.

Looking at this natural gasser as a potential deep dive rehab. Some elements look like an original wide-slat Genesis (wheels, single lower cross-bar, slide table setup, no casters). But other things (handle, 2-slat left-side table, newer side burner) puzzle me. Any thoughts?

“Aside from the length of the burners (and having a superfluous middle burner) would the natural gas burner/manifold work in the Junior? A rough eyeballing says everything lines up right.” --Me, June 3, 2020 This is a recap / postscript of my experience with adding a third burner to a Genesis...

Even from our brief conversation at pickup, I had a feeling Jon wasn't your average civilian seller, but this damn virus has put a damper on hanging out and talking shop.

And here's my $10 acquisition in action. Small world. :)

Correct. I added the slider bar to my Junior instead of using the original hole-in-the-frame system. The slider bar mounts in those holes and bows away from the frame to fit in the space between the tank support and the tank. If you swap a left-side slider bar onto the right, you'll have to...

Someone feel free to correct the noob, but it looks like an early Genesis 2. If it were near me, I'd be in my car right now.

If you really want your head to spin with options, try McMaster-Carr. For my Genesis Junior build, I went with their "Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless" nuts and bolts. Probably overkill, but at the time I ordered, I was still traumatized from wrestling a Happy Cooker kettle with...

Stunning! If you need some miscellaneous bits, let me know. I have some random stuff left over from my non-standard Junior build. Congrats!

This morning, I peeked under the hood and found that last night's cook did a great job of releasing the crud on the flavorizers that I didn't feel like cleaning before a cook. I wire brushed them down and wiped them with some mineral oil. Then I figured it would be a good idea to heat things up...
