Thanks, I read that thread, good info, I'll refer to it if and when when I get the Platinum going! This Silver B grill was the most direct route to a complete one. This is in an effort to clean out the garage and get a grill for grilling on the deck this winter. I didn't want to spend a ton...

Well, I decided to fix up the silver for me, the fire box had the least amount of rusted screws to drill out (only the one that attached the box to the frame). I repaired the cross member, took parts from the red genesis 1000 grill above after making a stupid mistake. (in a moment of...

Yikes. That's probably want ruined the platinum frame I have, but it has a basket bottom as opposed to a solid bottom. That 2nd one is a great looking grill.

Are the cabinets not your thing? Or do they just promote rust by trapping moisture? I think they look nice on the grill, but it seems like that's an issue. Edit** Skyline out in Western, MA for those of you out that way: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/525086934891999/

Well, the genesis 1000 with red lid's frame has rust holes against the cook box, and one of the lower cross members needs the threaded insert fix, so does the cook box mount section of the frame. The Silver b frame is a rickety mess, and while the tubing is solid all the tab locations are rusted...

Yeah, it is disappointing he did that, he took that one off of a weber at a town recycle center instead of just getting a new one. The red lid is in pretty good shape otherwise. I paid $20 for the whole thing, mostly for the cookbox. Its probably the best frame of the 3, even with the rusted out...

Thanks for the comments guys. Since I posted this Blue One, i've picked up a free genesis Silver B with a frame in rough but repairable condition, the left side thermoset end is cracked, but I think epoxy will fix that. previous owner sprayed black heat paint over everything. That is totally...

Wow, looks great!, It cleaned up really well compared to the original picture.

I'm cleaning up a Weber Genesis platinum 3400 style grill. The fire box if in pretty bad shape decent hole where the burner screws down and corrosion on many other spots. It's probably serviceable but I've been hunting for a donor grill to snag the fire box from that has the 13 bars. I tried...

I don't see why not. Its a female quick disconnect. I'd just check for a leak before lighting the grill if it's never been run before. Or you could probably plug it with the right fitting. But I'm not an expert on this stuff.

Oh that's a lot nicer than the one I saw. I saw one in Westford for free. Just a smaller or lower end one.

I wonder if it's the one I emailed about last night, but haven't heard back yet. I'd like to get a large cook box in better shape than mine, the red lid is pretty sweet too

I have to do this repair a couple times I ordered the recommended eBay ones, but the threaded rod idea is pretty awesome. I wish I had seen this before ordering. They are taking forever to show up.

This is true, i've made some great stuff on that exact setup. It works, it just takes attention.

Well I was planning to repair the lower cross member and 2 of the bars to connect the front and rear frames together, I was already at $27, the additional piece of tubing is another $20. For a grill i got for free, and not needing burners, heatshields or grates right away, I thought I was doing...

So I found a place to order the right dimension rectangular tube stock to replace the leg that was rusted through I was able to clean up the top tube rust, its pitted but functional, more important I can retain the top tabs. I could completely rebuild the frame for about $80 all in for the tube...

For $30 that isn't bad. It certainly works, I've used it for a long time. The way I look at it is, if it needs babying it's an excuse to sit in the back yard and have a few while the food smokes. Haha.

Ok, I hope i didn't sound to negative on it, I've used it for a long time, it's certainly not junk, otherwise I would have replaced it.

I have this grill, have had it for about 7 or 8 years. I got it on sale for less than $250. It's OK, but its not really something I would put a lot of money into, I replaced the grates, the heat shields and the mounts for the heat shields (they rot off) last year, put some high temp flat black...

Yeah I can't Find 2-1/2" 1-1/4" Rectagular tubing. so I figured this would back whats there. I've been going back and forth on the bottom cross piece, Frustration set in with home depot. yet again, they are inevitably sold out of what I need ( 1-1/4" Square tube.) I need to find a set of those...
