This is in pretty tough shape, but I really like the lid.

This grill is a twin to the one I just finished working on. This is a person that lives in a very affluent suburb near me, so naturally they want big money for an old grill laying in the weeds in their backyard.

I have that lid in black with that black handle and pin strip. I wish I knew someone around here that could use it. I don't have any use for it and dont have the space to hold on to it.

Here's another one, looks like it's in better shape than the $500 one. A little more reasonable.

Those are really good looking lids. I wonder how one would look on a Genesis 1000?

Speaking of lids, now I need to find a grill that I can use this brand new lid on.

I like the pinstripe but other than that I prefer 0xxx lids

Impressive to have a new one

I'm with you there.

There have been several listed by me. They are lids that people got as warranty replacements and never used. I got this one for $20.

That would be excellent for a restoration. I like the badge and the handle.

It's a good looking lid, and brand new only adds to it. I just need to find the right grill for it now.

Yet another Genesis Gold. This was obviously a far more popular grill than I ever thought.https://www.facebook.com/share/15HU1jxpWe/

Don't get me wrong, I will always first be a fan of the Genesis 1-5 and x000 grills. However, this particular late Silver with the black trim, pinstripe and dual flip up tables earns a special "Honorable Mention" in my list. One was my daily driver for several years. It keeps the classic Weber design but in a bit more modern look. Best of all, you get a lot of useable shelf space in a small footprint. I also like the Platinums from the very early 2000 era with the Summit frame and "wing" side tables. But they take up a lot more room and offer LESS useable shelf space! This Silver deserves a 2nd go!

One other thing: While I do think the earlier, squarer hoods look "better" in some respects (and don't like the oversized aluminum bezel on the center-mounted thermometer), the curved-out handle that goes with this hood is really a better idea. Fewer burned knuckles!

I'm seeing these Genesis Gold grills all over the place now.
