Just heard the sad news. Rich was always positive and upbeat and I enjoyed his posts as well as seeing his Grills pictured in the beautiful Arizona background.
He will be missed here immensely.

I moved a couple Flames in a larger Honda Pilot so it might just fit in your CRV. If not, remove the gray top deflector and you may have to remove the four vertical upright supports. It's an easy job with just a couple screws holding it together.
Frank,
I like the older Heavy Duty genuine Weber Covers with the vented mesh openings. They are much thicker than most covers.
There is one right now over on e-bay. It's an older early 2000s cover but brand new in the box. Search out Weber 9855 cover.

Mark,
That is correct. I've had several of both of those style grilles and the older late 90s model pictured at top is a 13 bar box like the 1000-5000 series Genesis.
The early 2000-2001 model is a unique 5 bar tall height Flavorizer Bar model.
Both are great grilles.

David,
Great find on that Genesis Platinum. I gotta agree with Tom, that Smoker is all but useless. If it is a keeper invest in the best Grates you can, you'll be glad you did.

Regarding the Assembly Bolts I would order Black Stainless Steel Bolts to keep it looking original but still provide some rust protection.
Mcmaster-Carr has a good selection.
It's amazing the Knockoffs these days. Just purchased 2 Milwaukee 6amp M12 batteries from ebay recently. They are a dead ringer for genuine Milwaukee but the weight and the stamped serial number gives it away.
Back they go...
