Hey all,
Since this doesn't directly relate to my other thread (help with/about a grill rebuild I'm doing), and can't seem to find the answers I seek through searching, I figured I'd post a separate thread about this.
I noticed that the grill I am fixing up (Genesis B) uses the 5 flavorizer bar setup, but that earlier Genesis grills used 13 bars, and had a different (deeper) cookbox.
What are the big differences between 5 bar and 13 bar models? Do the 13 bar models hold heat better/prevent flare-ups better? Was going to 5 bars mostly a cost-cutting move from Weber? Or is there not a huge difference between the two?
