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 burner by turning it back toward off instead of toward the low mark on the dial. I can adjust the flame so that I can hold a temp down as low as 200 deg. The only problem is that the valve used this way is very sensitive and difficult to get adjusted. I think an LP valve would reduce the maximum gas flow and allow a full range of adjustment.
Weber won't sell me an LP valve to modify my NG grill. They would however sell me an LP valve to repair my LP grill (if I had an LP grill), but they need a serial number for the grill that I don't have. What I need is some kind soul who will loan me the model number and serial number off of a vintage 2015 +/- Genesis LP grill with a sear burner.
Just for reference, my grill is serial # AH1112994
Thanks,
Dick
