    There is a disturbance in the force.

    Isn’t this the black on black special edition? I read it as “black instead of stainless steel is cheaper to make but cooler to market to you as the new black”

    Got my Vieluxe, now what??

    I found this on Craigslist. The owner had downsized, and moved the grill to storage but later decided he couldn’t fit it in his new house so he gave it to the movers as a thank you gift. The movers listed it, I sent a $50 deposit and asked them to take the posting down. A few days later, this...

    Genny Plat for $50- restoration money pit???

    Some of you guessed it, it’s a 6 burner Vieluxe. I’ll get a closer look at it and start a new thread with pictures. In meantime, my immediate task is to get it off the driveway. Casters are shredded, too heavy to bear hug and move. Casters are stamped GLC. What is the nub by the green weed? It...

    Genny Plat for $50- restoration money pit???

    I am pausing work on this Genesis Plat. While sourcing donor grills for parts, something else caught my attention. It’s getting delivered today: I’ll start a new thread on it. I’ve never seen one in person, and the pictures online are usually of the front. Even the backside is beautiful.

    Genny Plat for $50- restoration money pit???

    I picked up a donor grill tonight. What would cause firebox to develop a big blowout hole like this?

    Genny Plat for $50- restoration money pit???

    @Steve Hoch Swiss cheese drip tray would be an improvement. I’m picking up donor next week, seller says firebox is cracked but everything else is salvageable. I hope that’s true.

    Genny Plat for $50- restoration money pit???

    Thanks for the info. If I remove any more rust, I’d have nothing left to repaint 😬

    Genny Plat for $50- restoration money pit???

    Yes Bruce, that’s the million dollar question. These Genesis with Summit frames have odd parts. I’m not skilled enough to do what @DanHoo suggested above though, likely blow myself up. Just want to uncap and screw on sideburner supply line.

    Genny Plat for $50- restoration money pit???

    Is the manifold on a Genesis (circa @Steve Hoch @Steve Hoch or anyone else, do you guys know if the manifold from a 2000-2001 Genesis Gold without a side burner is same as one with a sideburner? In other words, the one without a SB is identical to one with a SB, but it is just capped off? My...

    FREE- SS Genesis Platinum-Cornelia GA (not mine)

    I wish. I’d pick this up and deliver it to someone nice from this forum. Then swing up northeast for the Skyline…if only I was a fat man with reindeers.

    Smokemeister attachment for gas grills

    Hi @Dan Leighton, I coldsmoked using my smokemeister today. I got my Weber from Craigslist 5 years ago and the smokemeister came with it. I never heard of it before then but it has now become my most favorite Craigslist freebie item, really love that thing.

    Genny Plat for $50- restoration money pit???

    You are right Steve, a search for these parts on a few websites results in “item discontinued”. I contacted the seller and she’ll rummage through her kitchen, hopefully she’ll find them. At least she found owners manual with serial # 😀.

    Genny Plat for $50- restoration money pit???

    It seems the diffuser parts from my kitchen stove solve the problem. But I’ve now robbed wife to pay Paul

    It seems I am missing both the silver slotted ring and black cap.

    Genny Plat for $50- restoration money pit???

    I thought I’d post pictures of the “before” state (not sure when I can work on rehabbing it though). No major surprises… rusted out frame crossbar, bowed but functioning firebox, clogged burners, etc. Frame has rusted through at joints below door hinges, I can poke my finger through. Side/back...

    Steve, what is unique about a Skyline that you covet it so?

    Peri-Peri Sauce

    Hi Chuck, that recipe looks spot on. I think the unique ingredient for me in my favorite piri-piri is the variety of birdseye chili peppers. Birdseye peppers are commonly found in SE Asia. It has just the right amount of burn profile for me, and stings the tips of my tongue which is different...

    Holy Grail 5000/Platinum with Glass Cabinet in suburban Chicago area

    I had a stereo cabinet with doors like this. If I can mount my 8-track under this firebox, oh, that's the ultimate setup.... But seriously, glass doors that never rust, that is indeed appealing.
