I'm impressed the wood is all there. It's always gone on the base. great work so far; look forward to following along.

yes. I'm not sure the 4 burner models are also stainless (never seen a Summit Platinum 4) , but these chunky 6 burner boys are.

Bumping this thread. This one popped up locally. I'm trying to get more details, but might be a winner. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/126446639303862/?ref=saved&referral_code=null

Yes! Every single piece of the frame is THICK stainless steel. I'm blown away that Weber would get it so right on the frame and then whiff so hard on the actual grill itself, especially when they made the Genesis Platinum at the same time.

Had some time this AM to pull apart the Summit and get some measurements. As you can see, the guy only used 1 side of the grill, so half the flavorizers are in near perfect shape. The other half most of the individual bars are good, but the backbone is trashed. Everything else is in good...

I just measured and the Summit frame (with burner) is 3in longer than the Genesis frame would be with the burner. That's doable. It will be much simpler to mock up the firebox and controls vs modifying the 4 panels to fit. I'm excited! I love this forum. Thanks everyone and I'll continue to...

Yea. I think I'm going to scrap and frankenstein.

I'll have to break down and measure the overall length. I have a very specific space for the grill, but now that I look at it, the overall width might not be that far off, especially once I include the side burner to what I have. The size of the firebox just really throws all the proportions off...

It is a pretty nice grill, but what a monster this thing is and just pricing out the ignition system has my head spinning on this sucker. Really unfortune that it was left to rot away under there. The previous owner had literally never cleaned the inside in his entire ownership and I cleaned TWO...

Thanks for the tips. how cool to see a red top on that frame. I'm pretty confident now that I can accomplish what I want now.

I just picked up a decent 8 burner 05 Summit Platinum with side burner for $50. None of the critical rust places, but also not quite good enough to polish and flip. It needs new sparkers, new crossover tubes, and a little bit of rust touchup in the firebox. I know these are a real bear to...

My wife and I have had 2 dual fuel ranges and have shopped across multiple brands for both. Currently we have the JennAir version of the KitchenAid. Overall would not recommend the Whirlpool brand unless you get an extended warranty. Service has been out 3 times and we were actually given a NEW...

The 04/05 Genesis Plat also had a stainless frame. I see them for sale about 2x per year here in South Carolina. I think the answer is no, but I'd love to know if the stainless PANELS from a Summit would retrofit onto the Genesis. That would be the greatest grill ever assembled. Cast aluminum...

Are the side panels and bottom stainless on those Summits? Any crossover from a Summit to a Genesis? I think the answer is no, but wouldn't it be amazing to have a Stainless frame genesis combined with a stainless top/bottom/sides.

The cheaper parts are generally junk. RCairplaneBuyer on Ebay is top notch for grates and flavorizer bars. they are buy-it-for-life. I thought long and hard before I pulled the trigger and I wish I had done it much sooner. IF you are rehabbing to keep, I'd splurge. I personally buy the Weber...

Thanks! The bottom plate is the only thing I ended up painting, so I might do a quick and dirty coat next spring. to bring it around. Do you know if they make a heat rated version I could use on the lid? I've been finding a lot more "new" Webers lately, which are almost all gray and open cart...

Hi. Long time lurker. I live in Charleston, SC and salvage Webers as a hobby. I've done about 12 grills so far, but have been chasing the Solid Stainless Frame Holy Grail for a long time after giving my Genesis 1000 to a friend as a housewarming gift. Recently an 05 Genesis Plat popped up on FB...

Nice find. I just picked up a Platinum B myself. Did you have any rust issues with the double lining inside the lid? Mine has some rust and I'm debating on how to proceed in fixing it (if at all).
