Nice restore. Does your neighbor regret selling that for $5???

Nice restore. Does your neighbor regret selling that for $5???

He was from Sun City, He stated he just wanted a new pellet grill and offered this up. He said if no one came to get it he was going to take it to the landfill. He was happy I could use it.

 

[Bruce]

Awesome. Are you keeping it or reselling it?

 

[Samuel]

Awesome. Are you keeping it or reselling it?

It is my daily. It was my first ever Weber Grill. I like the 2 burners, it still gets plenty hot. I also like the small form factor.

 

[Bruce]

Yah, those are great grills if you don't regularly cook for a large number of people. I like them so much better than the newer ones. But, that goes for the three burners as well.

 

[LMichaels]

Nice deal. Those really are outstanding little grills

 

[Ron De Hoogh]

Great rescue and restore! Curious about how wide the cook box is and if the warming rack would work on the Jr?

 

[LMichaels]

The width of a Silver A is the same as a regular Genesis. Basically about 1/3rd wider than the Jr

 

[Bruce]

By regular Genesis, do you mean Silver B?

 

[LMichaels]

I guess I should have said full size

 

[Bruce]

Are they really both the same width (Side to side)?

 

[BPratt]

Silver A is smaller than Silver B/C in all directions

 

[LMichaels]

Are they really both the same width (Side to side)?

Yes they are. Exactly the same width. Reason I know is I used to have one and I found out the rotisserie from my 1st generation Genesis fit on it perfectly. Even the rod was a perfect fit. No mods necessary. It's just 1/3rd smaller front to back is all

 

[Bruce]

I always assumed they were different width side to side. Nice to know a regular roto will work on both.

 

[Ron De Hoogh]

The width of a Silver A is the same as a regular Genesis. Basically about 1/3rd wider than the Jr

There goes that idea.

 

[Samuel]

What other color lids does the Silver A have?

 

[Bruce]

I know they had green ones.

 

[Samuel]

Found this one. I would like a Blue.
