    Grates for Silver A?

    I have a silver A. I put BBQPARTS stainless rod grates on mine several years ago. I've been very happy with them. https://www.bbqparts.com/silvera.htm

    Just wondering?

    I do have to say I've watched my brother do indirect heat several times on his 4 burner Genesis II and it seemed like he didn't have any difficulty at all. Even with ribs. But his is a 4 burner and probably has more room/real estate than the standard 3 burner. I have to say his Genesis II is...

    Just wondering?

    I agree the old burner configuration was better. And Larry i love your comment about "cry babies"!! There's a lot of truth there. But to the average Joe who isn't a hard core griller and who doesn't rotisserie I'm not sure it makes a huge difference? My preference for the older grills lies more...

    Which grates are these and would you use them?

    I agree with everything that has been said. However I would add that if those top grates are stainless as they appear to be (and not porcelain coated steel) then those are pretty good long lasting grates that I wouldn't hesitate to use. My genesis 1000 that I inherited from my father had those...

    Just wondering?

    I know it's been said before but if the old genesis 1000 or silver B was put on a stainless steel frame and used all stainless hardware it would really be gas grilling perfection. And if it was marketed right as a true lifetime grill there would probably be a market for it. But I'm sure it will...

    Just wondering?

    I'd like to think there would be a market for the "new vintage" models but I'm afraid Paul is probably correct and the general public just wouldn't be interested. But this IS a little bit similar to what Gillette did recently. They reintroduced a razor of the old double edge or DE design that...

    I haven't been on here much due to a crazy work schedule due to covid. But I'm interested. PM sent.

    Genesis II cast aluminum fire box?

    The Weber Genesis II grills I've seen all have the cast aluminum firebox as others have stated. But also some of the stainless is higher grade ( non magnetic). Like the hood and side tables. The lower cabinet is not stainless. Its plain steel. And thus can be rust prone. But its pretty sturdily...

    Genesis II vs Napoleon Prestige

    There's a pretty large grill speciality store in my area. They sell Napoleon, weber and broilmaster grills. I've spoken to the owner numerous times and he rates broilmaster the best. Then weber. Then Napoleon. He says Napoleon is good. Way better than typical big box grills. But that weber build...

    Beware GBS Grills - possible to buy non-GBS?

    I agree those grates look like a marketing ploy. Not something I would be interested in. It seems a waste but I'd buy the grill and chuck those grates in favor of aftermarket stainless grates.

    Genesis 1000 Flavorizer bars

    That's a GREAT price.

    Genesis 1000 Flavorizer bars

    Bruce its probably more than you are wanting to spend but bbqparts has top quality 18g flavorizors for 65 bucks. I've ordered both flavorizors and stainless grates from them and found them to be pretty much equal in quality to the rcplanebuyer grates and flavorizors. And for a bit less cost...

    Replacement Grates

    I actually have both. But for my round stainless grates the chargon is the clear winner. The grill gadget works. But not as well. I wanted to love the grill gadget because I bought mine from the original inventor/owner himself. Interesting guy. But the chargon just works better because it...

    Why I am moving...

    Jon sorry to hear about your troubles. But I do admire the way you are handling yourself in this unfortunate situation. I agree with you that even if you could force the sale having him as a neighbor would most likely be a nightmare. Hang in there I'm sure God has a plan.

    SS grates racked in shipping (fixed)

    I'm just amazed that rcplanebuyer grates could be damaged/bent like that. I have a set and they seem like they would be indestructible. Maybe this set was run over by a truck? Probably a semi?

    Anybody have experience with these thermometers?

    I love mine too. Thermopro really checked all the boxes with the TP-19. We use ours inside in the kitchen too.

    HOW TO: Remove Cook Box Slide Rail Screws - The Easy Way

    I wish I had your tutorial available when I removed and replaced the rails on my genesis 1000. I had a really hard time removing them.

    What do I have here?

    It's a genesis silver A. It's a 2 burner grill. I have one. It's a very good performing grill and its built like a tank.

    Advice for a new Weber Grill

    I have a set of Bbqparts 7mm stainless grates on one of my 2 grills and the pricier rcplanebuyer 9mm grates on the other. To me both sets are wonderful. I like the 7 mm grates just as well and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. I like stainless much better than cast iron for ease of...
