Hello everyone

Been a long time since I've been on the boards.
I restored a red head genesis 1100 back in 2018 with the advice of members from this community. Forward to 2024 and its time for a freshen-up.
There's some some surface rust on some of the frame pieces.
My biggest concern is the cookbox (original) which I think has warped. The grates don't sit flush anymore.
So I come back to this lovely community with questions on the cook box.

Will the cook box from the Silver B/C fit into the frame of the Genesis 1100?
From the parts diagram the cook box supports 5 flavorizer bars. However the length isn't specified. Will the flavorizer bars from the Genesis 1100 fit the cookbox?
A different part number for the burner tubes is listed.
Are the burner tubes swappable from the Genesis 1100?

Same questions with the Genesis Gold B/C cook box.
Are the flavorizer bars and burner tubes a direct swap?
Will this cookbox fit into the frame of the Genesis 1100
The frame for the Genesis Gold B/C looks different and has cabinet doors versus the open frame of the Genesis 1100.

Looking forward to any feedback.
Thank you everyone!
 
Cook box will not fit without frame mods. Bruce is the guy to speak with about modding the frame for different cook boxes. Mark Cuda as well.
 
Aside from the lid and cooking grates, the other parts are generally not interchangeable. I have converted a silver B frame to accept a Genesis 1000 cook box, but it requires modification to the frame which most people are not open too. If you think you might want to purse something like that, direct message me. But, I would either look for a donor Genesis 1000-5000 grill to steal parts off to fix yours up or I would find a good Silver B/C and fix that one up.

Burner tubes, flavorizer bars, control panels, manifolds, drip pans, etc. are NOT Interchangeable between Silver B's and Genesis 1000's.

Good to hear from you Bruce.

I always thought the cook boxes were the same between the Genesis and the Silver series. Thank you for the clarification.
I've been looking but haven't come across any salvageable Genesis grills locally.

Does anyone have a Genesis three burner cook box they're willing to part with?
