    Comparison of Genesis grill families

    I'm thinking that Wifey might just like the overall size / aesthetics of a closed cabinet 300 series. Bruce nailed all the issues with it. The upper part of the grill is just as rock solid as it's predecessors. The lower cabinet is what can be a problem. If you find one that doesn't have...

    Price of a Summit Platinum D6 in 2006?

    I did a restore on a 2004/5 version of that one, without all the SS steel. Couple of things to note. Flavorizer bars are ridiculously expensive and hard to find if/when it comes time to replace them. THe reason is the placement of a cross piece in the middle that covers the crossover...

    Planned restoration, any thoughts or advice is appreciated - Genesis Silver C?

    I'm with Bruce on this one. Presuming you have the ability, the frame repair is the better option. Might even be cheaper and faster/easier too.

    Price of a Summit Platinum D6 in 2006?

    I'm pretty sure the D6 was upwards of $2500+ 6 burner, side burner and rotisserie.

    Amount of charcoal for 26.75"?

    Dump a full chimney of lit coals on one side or the other (or use baskets). Put the chicken down right over the coals. Lid down for a couple of minutes. Raise the lid, flip the chicken, lid down for a couple of minutes more. This is just to "mark" the chicken and get the skin started. Be...

    Blue Silver B in Propect KY

    Man, I am doing my best to NOT go and get that. I have too many damned other projects (non-grill) right now.

    Frame paint options?

    I'd think he could. From what I understand, you'd add a bit of some kind of thinner. I was leaving open the possibility that he might know of some other paint that's more resilient.

    Frame paint options?

    The frame really won't be getting any high heat, so I'd think that high heat paint wouldn't be necessary for the frame. Given your apparent knowledge about painting, you could basically do whatever you want to it. Only question would be color matching to the high heat paint needed for the...

    Good candidate for a refurb?

    It should probably fit, especially if you are running topless. The lid is held on with two clevis pins. They usually come out pretty easily, but have been known to freeze up. You might want to bring some Pblaster, a hammer and a punch. Maybe a pair of pliers as well. If you have to...

    Good candidate for a refurb?

    $37.xx USD ? That's a steal just for the red lid. It looks like it has all the hardware for the flip up table. Side table and bottom wood inserts are all there (including Z brackets). Ummmm, HELL YES it's a good candidate for a restore ! $100 or so and some elbow grease and you'll have a...

    Good find? How did I do for $45?

    Congrats Dave. That definitely is a unicorn! Can't wait to see it after you restore it!

    Oh hell, where did you get that tiny Genny ??

    Well, I finally did it.

    Thanks Kev. I just kind of stumbled into this one. I was at a Thunder of Louisville party (catered it) and stepped out to take a break and get some fresh Marlboro air. Pulled out my phone, went to FB, and there it was. I messaged the seller immediately and set up a pickup time for the next...

    Passed on this Summit

    Yep. Grates are stamped. FB's definitely worth some $$$ to someone as they sell for at least $150 a set if you can find them. The lid definitely doesn't fit on a Genny. If that was close to me, I'd take a look at it as I need a side burner for an older Summit 650, though I'm not sure...

    It was free!

    I'd quibble just a bit with a complete history. The first Spirits were made in the US around the time of the 1000 - 5000 Genny generation. When the Gold/Silver gen came out, I could be wrong, but I think the Spirit was discontinued at the time. I'd have to check some old catalogs to be sure...

    More Facebook Treasure

    Yep. It's a Seville Chariot. They don't pop up very often. Obviously, it would be worth a whole lot more with the original grill, but like Bob and Stefan said, the cart alone is worth serious bucks. Hell, some people put serious dollars in just for the restoration. Media blasting, powder...

    It was free!

    All the Genny's have been made in the US, at least up until recently. I'm not sure where the current ones are made. Somewhere floating around here is a link to the history of Weber and Ducane. From what I recall, Weber bought out Ducane and moved the manufacturing of them to China or...

    Have you ever had a seller increase the price after you agreed to buy it?

    Yep. Been there, done that. Hell, I've had folks sell things out from underneath me when they knew I was already driving over to pick the item up.

    Red head I saw at a consignment shop.

    Meh, the lid and the handle are worth the $45, at least around here as Reds never pop up and those handles are expensive to reproduce in wood.

    Any tricks to reviving a worn-away serial and model number?

    I'm thinking it's a 1000lx with the durawood slats on the bottom, versus wire rack. https://www.weber.com/US/en/help/schematics/browse.aspx?model=211701
