Model: DO 0133289 P# 579001. 2005?
Listed on Facebook 2 weeks ago saying for parts and needs burners. I was the 3rd person to reply and never heard back. The guy replied back this morning with his address saying come get it. I actually kept my son home from school to help me load it. I'm so glad I did because this thing is heavy.
I'm not familiar with this grill. I have a newer Genesis and love it.
My goal was to fix it up and resell, but I think I might have a hard time doing that! I spent many hours today and still don't know what to do. It looks like the burners are fine. The ignitors look shot. The grill is very dirty and needs a good cleaning. Condition is great except the lower horizontal frame below the from doors is rusting.
The rotisserie is missing too.
1. Can oven cleaner be sprayed inside the entire grill and rinse out? (Covering burners with tinfoil)
2. What can I soak the grill grates in to clean them up?
3. Best way to fix rust on bottom frame?
4. Do I have everything? ( See pics) there are two things that look like they don't belong to grill.
5. Does the smoke box just lay loosely on the left side?
6. The flavorizer bars have surface rust. Should those be sanded and painted with high temp paint?
Thanks for any help and input. I'm looking forward to this project.
7. What would the resale value be if it's in good working condition?
