I have been working diligently to clean up my yard of grill projects, moving most to my "new" storage area & "shop" in an unusable house in the community I manage. A few were really sitting awaiting disassembly to strip out usable parts. One of those was a ~1998 redhead Genesis. I knew the frame was mostly toast, but I did get it for free.
My shock came, though, when I finally took time to look closely at the aluminum firebox. I have seen a spot with burn through, but I have never seen an aluminum firebox that basically appears to have just decayed to uselessness. Not sure what did it in other than our Florida salt air.
Have you guys ever seen one like this?
This firebox wound up being just an addition to our aluminum scrap pile at our organization's maintenance shop. I was happy, though, to get some early version burner tubes made of non-magnetic stainless that, in spite of age, look like they can be shined up and used again!
