    need a Genesis serial number

    Sucess!!! For the benefit of those with a short attention span, I'll explain what worked first. On the sear burner tube I covered 6" of the ports with foil duct tape, leaving 8" of open ports. I removed the NG sear valve and replaced it with an LP sear valve. I tested with a 3 quart sauce pan...

    Q1200 Modification

    Done and working great Yes it's been done. according to my orifice chart, i now have a 10K burner instead of an 8.5K burner. I have not put a thermometer in it to see how hot it will get but it does well on hamburgers and steak. It's still a little big and awkward for what's supposed to be...

    need a Genesis serial number

    Water pan helps a little but not enough. I'm using a K thermocouple, not the "heat indicator" in the hood. I have sucessfully smoked ribs and brisket, etc. At temperatures that gradually rose to over 300 deg during the process. The meat was pretty good. But I'm going for perfection! for...

    need a Genesis serial number

    I have converted several grills (not weber) from propane to Natural gas. Never had any problems. The valves seemed to work fine as far as "useable" adjustment. I just looked up the orifice size for the BTU rating of the grill and screwed in the new orifice.

    need a Genesis serial number

    What I'm trying to accomplish is to make a burner and valve that is adjustable from about 5K to 1K. Please explain how I can accomplish this without modifying the burner and changing the gas flow? If I end up blowing myself up and burning the house down, I'll let you know.

    need a Genesis serial number

    Thank you much for the numbers. I just talked to Weber. they will only sell the whole manifold. $83 including tax and shipping. That's a bit more than I was expecting (although it's a lot cheaper than I would expect for a manifold with 4 valves!). I'm going to continue checking E-bay and...

    need a Genesis serial number

    The way the valve itself is designed that wouldn't work. When you turn it to low setting it does not just choke off the main port. It opens to a secondary passage in the valve that contains a smaller orifice (not replaceable) that controls the minimum flow. I assume this is to control the...

    need a Genesis serial number

    I'm trying to modify a Genesis NG grill to reduce the lowest temp I can hold for smoking. With everything stock, the Lowest temp I can hold is about 275-300 deg. with the 10K sear burner on as low as it will go. I modified the sear burner by plugging about 1/2 of the holes. I adjust the...

    Q1200 Modification

    I bought a Q1200 last year and used it a few times. Wouldn't get hot enough. I could cook two hamburgers or a small steak, bu it took a while. Not much browning! I bought some assorted mini drills on line for another project a while back. I picked the smallest drill I had that was bigger...
