George you ever had one from the 80'S they where the ones that had used lava rock's over the gas.

 

[Pat Smith]

Mine still might be packed away some where have'nt looked for them for quite awhile.

 

[George Curtis]

[James N]

It looks like HERE is the GA with rocks as mentioned above.

 

[George Curtis]

kevin, i don't think so as you can see the flavorizer plate/baffle. no idea why they added the ceramic briq.

 

[George Curtis]

well, this one is gonna be put in the back shelf after i clean it up. just found that the gas regulator is broken. guess the po got ham fisted and broke the little plastic tabs in the knob so it now just turns and turns. i'm taking it apart just to understand how it works. for sure when you are turning the knob, be carefull as its not as strong as one would think. also found that the inlet piece has a small schrader valve in it. i know these can cause problems so that is one thing to check if there is a flow issue. there is a thin layer of grease in the bottom. the hardware was not rusted so came off easily. the flavorizor is in great shape with a few rust spots. the cooking grate is rusty. will see if it needs replacing once i clean it and then need to use it. here are a few pics.
