Curb Alert !!!

Yah, I am pretty sure it is just backed on grease

 

[Josh Dekubber]

Greas buildup in that area is common

In the actual listing you can see rust and chipping. Note how it’s jagged.

Can't say you're wrong. But sometimes that grease buildup looks just like rust. The other thing is that's an unusually large patch of missing porcelain if that's the case. I would definitely have to see it in person.

 

[Bruce]

I think Cody is correct. If you notice, it looks like the lip on the lid is bent, which would cause the porcelain in that area to chip off.
That is a shame.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I thought that at first also but I think it's just the Shadow from the arm to the handle. Hard to say though for sure

 

[Bruce]

Some one has to go out and find out for sure.

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I would be very sad if I miss that free one in my area. That lid is definitely worth the gamble to me plus everything else on that grill. If it wasn't restorable it would still have several valuable parts for free

 

[Bruce]

Exactly

 

[Cody Bratton]

I have seen lots of grease. Never seen it that jagged. Sadly, someone else is getting it. So we will never truly know, but I’m 100% sure that lid is toast, by our standards.

That being said, it’s probably got a great grease tray and cookbox. It always seems if one part is bad, a few others are great.

Oh man, the last one I picked up was pretty bad but the lid was perfect. Go figure. I had to scrap the frame, big drip tray, cook box, and control panel. I also reused the 9mm Summit grates and the durawood.

there’s a blue lid 10 minutes from you that you could change that luck on

Ok, if I grabbed that grill it would just be for the challenge of quickly and cheaply making it brand new again and selling it. I may be able to motivate myself based on that if it's still available by tomorrow afternoon or Sunday. I'll watch it.

Genesis 1000-5000 grills in our part of the country are just a numbers game now. You will probably need at least two grills now to make one really good one based on their age and condition at this point. I'm always on the lookout for that special one that is already in great shape to begin with but it's getting harder every day to find one like that.

Which one? I must have missed something?

Oh, ok. I didn't realize that was by you. I would pick it up anyway myself. Oh, and it's a Platinum series 3400! Nice, even if you need to get a new lid for it.

I don't think it's in my area. I was just saying that I would be sad if I missed that free one if it was in my area

Yeah, me too. I don't look every day so it's probably happened to me more than I know.

True, although I had a guy there with a Skyline that I really wanted. He wouldn't come down from his $200 asking price so I took a pass on that one.

Could be he stumbled on this site or one like it and got a little greedy
