First-timer considering Genesis resto


 
OK, cool. Like I said, for my purposes, it is more economical to use the cast iron grates, but if i was keeping the grill, it would have SS.
 
Honestly, if you are just flipping, the stamped porcelain grates are the cheapest way to go if they are still available. Easier for most people to use/maintain as well.

I have a Genesis with the wood table slats and wood handle. The handle is basically gone and the wood slats on the table are shot. What options should I pursue for replacing them? Is the slats a standard size? I don't want to spend a bunch of money to replace them, but don't want to just stick some pine boards in there either. This will probably be a flip grill, but since it is a redhead, I am toying with the idea of keeping it even though I know I don't really have the need for a bigger grill than my Q100.
 
The advantage you have with a Genesis over a Q is versatility more than size. Just rip down cedar fence panels for new slats. The handle is available through Weber
 
Ahhhhh, that might work. Those 6' x 4" dog eared cedar fence panels only cost about $3 each. They might be a bit thicker than the original slats, but not much. The Cedar will be weather resistent and look nice. I don't see why a guy can't fashion a handle out of that same stuff.
Thanks for that LMichaels. I even have a piece of one sitting in the garage now...not sure if it is enough though.

That brings up another question. Is there supposed to be another wood slat shelf on these grills other than the one on the end of the grill? I thought I saw one where someone had one that slid out from under the main one on the left of the grill.
 
ON the up scale versions 1100, 2000, 3000, etc. Yes there is fold up shelves (one or two depending on the model, on the 2000 there is a shelf on the far right on a 3000 there is a side burner there. On most of them there is also shelving under the grill made of the same wood material
