Dirty.. lol, I will need to look again. But I seem to recall it isn't too bad

I

On the SS Platinum, the flavor bars and burners are the Same dimensions as Silver/Gold Genesis grills.

The upper box and cooking surface haven’t changed for 40 years. Genesis 1985 to 2006 and then Spirit right up till current.

The marketing people leave off the older grills in a lot of documentation

right cause they want you to buy the newest items

On this forum we want support for the old stuff. But after 20 years the market size shrinks for parts and Weber and aftermarket guys stop making them. The average person doesn’t care they will just get a new grill every 5 years.

Weber is probably the best for part support and commonality

The warming rack fits..

Lid and grates showed up today but I am like 30 min from Weber's warehouse and 20 minutes from their corporate headquarters

Burners and bars are scheduled for tomorrow so I will do it all in one shot for installing

That is nice. Is it by chance stainless steel?

 

[JDeBuhr]

I have not fully looked at it yet, but the receipt I got states

Lid assembly, Genesis B/C, black w/SS handle

I will let you know when I fully unbox it. I did peeka nd the side is gray, I decided to wait until I get the burners and bars and do it all at once

 

[Bruce]

No, I meant the warming rack. It sounds like your lid will be identical to the one I post above.

They also have this one, which is listed as being 304 stainless for $5 more.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCNR71JL?tag=tvwb-20

 

[JDeBuhr]

the on I posted is what I bought, picture in Steve's post is what I got, both are 304 stainless

 

[JDeBuhr]

Need to clean the outside up, but all the new parts are on. I need a new lower grease tray holder, might buy the whole assembly.. they are reasonable on Amazon

I’m a no cover man. It’s like a shroud.

My wife had an Amazon cover over the control panel

 

[JDeBuhr]

Being the grill is stainless I did not use a cover, but maybe Inneed one with the new lid?
