trying to determine my genesis silver b Manufacture date..the sticker is worn off...there is a number stamped on the manifold 0/133.is this a date reference?
 
Post a pic and we can narrow it down to a year or two.

One that shows the whole grill and one of the control panel so we can see the number on the front left corner like 8101 or 8128.
 
Can you post a photo of the thermoset tables? DId it have a cabinet or is it an open cart with grate? Do you have an overall photo of when it was still together?
 
2000 to 2001 is my guess from the 8101 control panel and round vs square manifold.

Edit if the frame has lower cross bars then it's much like my DD date code silver B
 
Yah, a photo of the tables will help with that. If they are the more squared off ones, that would say earlier year too. And if the grate is the drop in one vs the snap in one, that would say early years too. I think that style of handle is the older style as well.

I think 2002.

I my early stage Weberitis I picked up a DU date code and it had a square manifold.

Thread 'Silver B resto x2'

My plan is to take the "best" and keep one, sell or give away the other.

The one closest to was the free-to-me I picked up a week or two ago. 2002 DU code.
The one farther back that is cleaner is my 2000 model DD that I've had for 20+ years.

I have two questions, with details below.
1) which frame should I keep ?
2) which manifold should I keep ?

edit: adding the link to the gas grill parts thread here so I don't have to remember where it is.

I found the newer valves have more sweep angle, so you may want to factor that in and keep the control panels with the manifold so they match.

The newer valves and control panels have LOW in the 3 o clock position.

The older 8101 control panel LOW is in the 4:30 or 5 o clock position.

Edit: here's a newer 8128. Compare it to your 8101 and you'll see what I'm trying to say.
