I can almost guaranteed the bottom shelf in that is rusted out beyond fixing. Also, the right side has the "dropsies" which is almost a given on those grills as well. The left probably does as well but with the flip table partially extended, it is hard to tell. That being said, that frame is stainless steel and the grill is one of the best Genesis grills that Weber ever made.I'm waiting to hear back from seller on this one. $50 It's a 3+ hour drive, one way. Thoughts anyone?

If you want a project and have some fabbing skills, it is a perfect grill to rehab. A welder is a great help on them. But, if you fix it up, it will be a grill you can hand down to your kids in 20 years.

It is a little on the high side, but if you needed a side burner that was in really good shape it would be worth it. Plus you could sell that NG manifold for $75 easy, they are NLA.

What exactly is “the dropsies” on these and which other model grills are susceptible?
Hello Bruce, it's Scott up in northern Michigan (I still owe you some Airstream refurb photos)... I'm waiting for some more detailed pics from the seller, but she indicated there is one person who responded ahead of me (that figures). I don't mind some fab work, etc.
We took delivery of a new Genesis II E310 last week. It was built in USA. However, after unboxing it and beginning assembly, I was so disappointed in the frame and QC that I've decided to return it and find a vintage Weber. Need something to withstand rigors of Lake Huron.

Im keeping my eye out for a 3000 frame for when I disassemble mine. Im thinking I may have a rust problem based on that hole that rusted thru on the front apron ...

You will know as soon as you take the cook box out.

Yea i see a little rust, just dont know if its thru. Once I get the parts for the 1000 back i can get that together and get my 3000 apart

Notice how this flip up table is canted to the left in towards the cabinet. It is because weld on the bracket in the frame extension is broken. It is pretty much isolated to these SS platinum grills. It can be fixed by welding the extension in place or shoring it up by inserting bolts into it to replace the weld.

I just went through the same thing on this Genesis 4000, that's why it's going to be a 1000 now. I'm supposed to get my frame welded on Tuesday. I already have the rest of the frame pieces painted.

Its a photo illusion. I thought so at first but if you zoom in its durawood with the light between the slats making it look like a rack.
